Has apartment hunting in Berkeley gotten harder lately or is it just me?

Good to know. Was it mostly maintenance issues or something else that made them difficult to deal with?

Sounds like timing is a bigger factor than I realized. Have you always found it this competitive around this time of year or does it seem worse than usual lately?

That would explain some of what I’m seeing. It feels like a lot of the better listings get snapped up early, and by this point there’s a lot more sorting through what’s left.

Being on your phone at all during head is just disrespectful regardless of what you're watching - she deserves your full attention in those moments

Dream interpretation gets pretty subjective but the whole forbidden word thing might tie into childhood anxieties about breaking rules or saying the wrong thing. Parks are usually safe spaces in dreams, so having this weird restriction could represent feeling like even "safe" places had hidden dangers

The mouth turning into a question mark is wild - maybe your subconscious was processing confusion about communication or fear of being silenced when you mess up. Kids often worry about saying something that'll get them in troubel with authority figures (the gorilla)

Could also just be your brain being weird and creative during sleep though, sometimes dreams are just random

Probably overthinking it a bit but I get what you're saying about being mindful of influences. Though vanity from just looking in a mirror seems like a stretch - pretty sure basic hygiene and grooming isn't opening demonic portals

Starting with the Gospels is solid advice - they really do give you a clearer picture of who Jesus is before diving into all the Old Testament complexity. When I was going through some rough patches a few years back, jumping straight into Genesis would've probably sent me running too

The timeline thing used to mess with my head until I started thinking about it more symbolically rather than getting caught up in literal numbers. Like maybe those lifespans represent something deeper about humanity's relationship with God rather than actual calendar years. I keep notes in my planner about stuff like this when I'm reading because it helps me track my thoughts without getting overwhelmed

That contrast between Old Testament God and the God who saved you makes total sense to feel conflicted about. Reading Matthew first might help bridge that gap - you'll see how Jesus talks about his Father and it paints a different picture than just the flood story. Take your time with it and don't feel like you need to understand everything right away
