| I don't want to seem like I'm making fun of people, but sometimes people can say funny or shocking things. I'm sure I have, too! Last night, someone came up to me and said it was her first time to try yoga. She said she was really tight and had a few other problems. She asked if she should see improvement in a week!  I thougt, "wow-stick with this for a year and you'll mostly see the benefits in your emotions!". The other thing, and this one another yoga teacher told me, is that someone admitted that she thought "Namaste" was "Have-a-nice-day". If you say it out loud, you can see how it could happen. She was even laughing about it herself when she realized her mistake-too funny! | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442      |  Nice start to my morning, Kym There are studies that show that cortisol (stress indicators) levels actually do drop significantly after the very first class. Lossening up a lifetime of tightness may take a bit longer  | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 1738  Location: right where I'm supposed to be | OK, this is a good one, a little over the top but true. The other day a student confessed to me she had a sexual dream that involved the two of us What could you possibly reply to that   | ||

mishoga - 2007-02-02 5:03 PM OK, this is a good one, a little over the top but true. The other day a student confessed to me she had a sexual dream that involved the two of us What could you possibly reply to that Wow! I think it would really depend on the context. Maybe I'm flattered (but not interested)? I think people have sexual dreams about different people all the time, usually it just means they're interested in having sex with that person, little more. | |||

Or it might not even mean that . . . haven't you ever had a sexual dream about someone, awakened, and gone, "EWW! I would never have sex with that person in real life!" Not that I'm implying that that's the case with your student, Mish! I think that girl was definitely coming on to you. I can't think of any response except something along the lines of "How bout those Giants?!" | ||

Maybe it would be more correct to say I'd still fantasize about them in RL, but not do anything about it. | |||

| Someone asked me yesterday if I could use the big balls in my class. You know, those big balance balls? I don' t even know for sure what they are called. I said, "well, I'm not trained with those. I think those are for pilates classes?" In my mind, I'm like, are you kidding me? Mish, I'd have been so shocked! I probably would have gotten nervous and asked if it was a good dream or bad, which would have been the wrong thing to say. | |||

| i know that this is off topic, but i told one of my clients/friends/teachers (he's one of my apprentices) about a dream i had that involved him. in the dream, i was upset with ryan for not wanting to have a baby with me 'right then.' by that i mean, i had approached him to TTC and he said "no, not right now--i think we should wait another year" and so i was angry with him and asked him what another year might do for us. And then he said 'i dunno, maybe we justs shouldn't have kids." and i said "fine, i'll go to mark. at least i know my kid will have blue eyes!" then, in the dream, i met mark at a park near his house and asked him to father my kiddo--and that i was excited that the kiddo would have for-sure blue eyes (he and i both have blue eyes, ryan doesn't--so no guarentees), and then mark said "sure" and we made arragements to concieve in the old fashioned way. and then, i told ryan about the conversation with mark, and he said 'ok, do whatever you want/need to do.' and so i did, and then i had a blue-eyed baby girl (very cute), and mark was totally cool and ryan was totally cool. and i was happy because i had my blue-eyed baby. and so when i told ryan, he got all defensive. and when i told mark, he laughed his ass off. and he said "yeah, should you ever need that, it's cool. i mean, i wouldn't want your kid to have brown eyes or anything" and then later he and ryan joked about it--and ryan said "oh, she just gets lusty" and so on. but, i know what the dream really is about. and if you want to take a crack at theories, feel free. but i got it, two nites later, after going through the same dream two more times, but with different men (all of whom i know--but i didn't feel comfortable telling them about it. mark, yes, cuz he's like my brother--we were born on the same day 7 yrs apart!--but the others, no.  ok, how about them apples? | |||

JackieCat - 2007-02-03 1:54 PM Or it might not even mean that . . . haven't you ever had a sexual dream about someone, awakened, and gone, "EWW! I would never have sex with that person in real life!" I have. Only very rarely do I ever have sex with anyone in a dream, and even more rarely is it with anyone that I am attracted to in real life.  | |||

| GJ: well, interesting theory--but not it. mostly, guys are worried about commitment in my experience. i'm not at all concerned about it--and not at all sexually interested in mark. like i said, he's like my brother. and in the dream, i knew this. it was definately about something else. consolation price? | |||

zoebird - 2007-02-09 3:41 PM GJ: well, interesting theory--but not it. mostly, guys are worried about commitment in my experience. I'm not sure I understand, their level of commitment, or the womans? I think that both sexes deal with concerns about their partner's fidelity, for different reasons. i'm not at all concerned about it--and not at all sexually interested in mark. like i said, he's like my brother. and in the dream, i knew this. it was definately about something else. consolation price? Sure, but I think if I'm going to guess, you totally have to explain what you _think_ the dream is about. The funny thing about dreams, IMHO, it's that nobody's ever 100% sure what they're about. EDIT: I'm totally ready to join up with Bruce on the pirate ship. I want to be chief gun officer, always wanted to fire off a cannon. Edited by GreenJello 2007-02-09 3:57 PM | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 1738 Location: right where I'm supposed to be | Kym - 2007-02-08 7:46 PM Mish, I'd have been so shocked! I probably would have gotten nervous and asked if it was a good dream or bad, which would have been the wrong thing to say. That is exactly what I said. I can't believe you wrote that. I don't even think I thought about the words that came out of my mouth  That's Deep Zoe It is. So I haven't read the whole thing so refer me back to it if you answered. You think it was just about insecurity? Sounds like a very vivid dream. I don't like vivid dreams like that. They change my body chemistry quickly and it stays that way for about 24 hours! | ||

Bruce - 2007-02-09 8:07 PM GJ: " I'm totally ready to join up with Bruce on the pirate ship. I want to be chief gun officer, always wanted to fire off a cannon." Chief Gunny you be matie, welcome aboard the pirate mystery ship...oh yeah, the gunner gets to bellow, "Avast you slimey scoundrels, prepare to be boarded!" as he fires the warning salvo across the ship's bow. Woot! That sounds like the life for me. I just wanna get some booty! FYI, September 19th is official "Talk like a pirate day" here in the states. Sorry Glenda, Fee, and our other members, I guess your officials do useful stuff in your countries. I'm sure nobody would slight you for taking up this quante american tradition. | |||

Bruce- I'm a little bummed....being left off your boat..  Just kidding- I'll have my own Black Pearl...Arrgghhh... Once, I had this 16 yr old line cook. I get to work and we're talking and he tells me that he had this dream of me and one of his female high school teachers getting it on and we let him watch..... to which I responded " , Hmmm... uhh...." and wandered off. Couldn't say too much being his employer and him being 16 and all... I don't get too randy with the jokes with the little 'uns (even though they are worse than me most of the time).. Then a couple of weeks ago, I had a dream that I was beating the living dooky out of one of my current line cooks (mind you, I'm not a violent person). We were in a pretty serious fist fight and the last image before I woke up was me bashing his head on the stairs at work and asking him if there was anything he wanted to say before I broke his neck......talk about changing my chemistry for a few days... that one scared the bejesus out of me! I've NEVER had a dream like that before. And the funny thing is- he's one of my favorite people to work with. He keeps me laughing and he's a really, really nice guy. I've never felt ANY kind of animosity towards him at all... but WOWSA! This was violent.. I felt like I was in a Quentin Tarantino movie! I hope by sharing this, you guys aren't scared of me and my freaky dreams. All I could think it thank GOD that stayed in my head as a dream!! | |||
