Ocean Dreamer

Things have been busy for the past few days, sorry for the lack of posts and comments on your blogs.  Briefly, here’s what I’ve been up to: A *ton* of teaching jobs were recently posted for next year and I have been applying like crazy.  It is a long process and I have to apply [...]

In my dreams, that is.  As an adult, I have always been someone who couldn’t remember her dreams.  At least, until I started taking the lovely birth control pills.  Now, I have very vivid dreams.  Apparently, BCPs are known (at least anecdotally) to cause vivid dreams and nightmares (I did find a link specifically about [...]
