Vivid Dreams

Two connected dreams last night.

In the first part, I was back to school, in Worcester, MA. Going back for my masters, I think, I recall commenting that this time I was going to take advantage of the school and professors who specialized in my present area of expertise. I was setting up my "dorm space" which seemed more like office cubicals - very small. My old roommate Don was also there. What was particularly interesting was that the dream became semi-conscious, I remember (in the dream) thinking or commenting that dreaming about going back to college was interesting and a recurring theme, that I dreams about going back to school before, and I always take it as a sign that I need to learn something, go back to school, make life changes, etc.

Part two, I was considering driving back from school to my yoga studio (in the dream, it was maybe 30 minutes drive, vs. a few hours in real life) and decided to check out local options. I ended up at an old rambling worcester three-decker which was inhabited by a commune or new age community of sorts- they had yoga in a large roundish room. I was there, chatted and hung out with some of the residents, set up my mat, we were kind of talking and stretching and shared some bread before practice. The dream ended before I got to practice, but it was neat. I recall watching people in postures and wondering if I could keep up - I was trying to describe the practice I do now, not exactly sure how to qualify it in yogic terms (Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha, etc.)

I think its interesting that yoga has infused my unconscious. I awoke wondering if my yoga practice would be changing.....if I would be finding another outlet or place to practice.
