Halloween Or Samhain is in 53 days. What costume do you think will be the most popular in 2024? Why?


With Halloween only 53 days in the future, I can imagine that the upcoming election will invade almost every aspect of our lives...Halloween will be no exception. I fully anticipate getting a few Donald Trumps at my door. For the extra achievers, I can see them pulling together a Tim Waltz costume complete with a wild, white wig, and a pair of sneakers. I do believe that the most popular costumes will take their cue from the Beetlejuice sequel, out just in time to inspire and delight. Truth be told there are a lot of options. Trick or treaters can try to pull off the green wig and moldy skin of the big guy himself, and strut about in his signature black and white striped suit. Lydia's gothic, bright red wedding gown makes another Samhain-worthy choice. We might even get a sand worm or two!

Prompt: Dreams
What do you think about dreams in general? And if you wish to elaborate, what recurring themes or symbols appear in your dreams? Are there any patterns you can identify?


Dreams are tricky. On the one hand, I tend to believe that they are the clearing house for the mind. I have often dreamed about random things, snatches from the waking world that I believe my mind has processed and then decided not to retain. The dream is like a mental roomba, roaming around in one's pink matter, collecting all the pointless gibberish we've acquired by moving about the world, and then purging it to make room for other, more important thoughts.

Once in a while I'll wake from a vivid dream that leaves me feeling like I've just experienced something prophetic. I don't know whether that's divine intervention, or just my mind pulling together important messages and constructing them in the way that I can best interpret. If that is true of some dreams, then what are nightmares? Are they thinly veiled warnings?
I used to dream that my teeth were falling out in alarmingly frequently when I was a teenager. I was so disturbed by it that I looked in up in a bunch of books. There were a wide variety of interpretations...from loss of a loved one, to loss of personal security and stability to it being a symbol of great change, to a reflection of inaction when facing a challenge. I'm to sure if any of those explanations fit but eventually the dreams stopped.
