Dream 2: A mistaken keyboard shortcut turned the Notes application on my laptop to look like kitchen towel. This could not be cancelled.

Itse asiassa muistan todella paljon unia (ja paljon jännittävämpiä kuin nämä). Myös selkounia, joissa saan osittain ohjailla tapahtumien kulkua. IT-miljardööri Kim Dotcom on kuvaillut selkounia erääksi parhaista ajanvietteistään. Täysin ilmaista viihdettä!

Dream 3: I realised I’d had last year’s comics festival illustration (by Katja Tukiainen) tattooed at the side of my foot. But the image was torn due to ill-treatment and the wearing of shoes. Actually I often recall my dreams, and much more exciting ones than these, too. I also often have lucid dreaming where I can be partly in charge of what happens. The IT billionaire Kim Dotcom has mentioned lucid dreaming as one of his favourite pastimes. A completely free form of entertainment!

I was listening to a talk by the inspirational Namibian feminist activist Mimi Mwiya. She talked about the organisation Sister Namibia and other groups doing work such as sexual rights workshops and awareness raising. Here’s my live notes, and see also Hanna-Pirita’s comics report in her blog!
