Fragment: Function

I had not remembered dreams for almost a month and that made me very worried. But I am dreaming again.

Fragment: I am dreaming. In my dream my mind is functioning well.

Synchronicity: Sunnyside, Jim And Jeanne

(Memorial Day, 2026)

Yesterday, my first full day home from Chicago, I decided to go to Sunnyside Gardens to buy my tomato and cucumber plants. As I pulled out of the driveway and drove down my street, two big trucks from Sunnyside were parked next to a neighbor’s house.

As I was getting ready to leave Sunnyside, I saw my neighbor Jim (whose wife Vicky recently died). We chatted for a bit and he mentioned he had just seen my friend Jeanne at the coffee shop they both hang out at. He not seen her for a very long time.

Synchronicity: Emerald City And City Of Lakes

(Memorial Day, 2026)

A kind, funny woman named Michelle, who has a PhD from Northwestern, was the guide for my PPA study. She went to the U of M for a while and loved Minneapolis so much she intended to stay for the rest of her life. But she met her partner, whose family home is Chicago, and she moved back to The Windy City. They bought a house in a neighborhood that felt like Minneapolis. She also attended Rush University, where The Mind Diet began. She has been focused on PPA for more than a decade. I hope to stay in contact with Michelle for many years.

I was overjoyed to be back in Chicago. Downtown is beautiful and full of friendly people from all over the world. Hearing English is a bit rare. This was the first time I had noticed Chris call Chicago “The Emerald City.” When I drove along Lake Michigan to meet with my friend Anne, the lake absolutely was emerald green.
