#169: It seems strange that so many people in my extended family knew my grandmother, but I did not. Still, I have a couple stories about her which make me feel that, somehow, I did know her.
Interesting article, Earl! I've had some near-lucid dreams and false awakenings -- and then woke up feeling silly. I like the dust writing . . . but I would probably sneeze, which may or may not wake me up!
I heard Nanay comes from the Chinese Nai nai for mother.
I’m glad to put a name to my experience in dreams! Sometimes when I wake up, I go back to sleep to continue my dream. The best example of lucid dreaming is when I solved a Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle.
The YouTube video of the monk was eye-opening—to think that one-third of our lives is spent dreaming. Filipinos put a big emphasis on the meaning of their dreams. My daughter and I keep dream journals.
Thanks for sharing the videos this article. I particularly like Mari Katayama’s art.
Not surprised about the "nai nai" connection, since the Philippines has been trading (including words) with China for centuries. Great example of puzzle-solving lucid dreaming.
