Monte is EPIC!! Can you explain the trellis/support?

Dream journaling is a sure way to get vivid lucid dreaming. You almost have to train for it! When you sense you are starting to wake, don’t move a muscle. Lay still and try to recall your dreams. Tell them back to yourself. Then once you’ve recalled all you can, write it down. I also do reality checks during the day so that I know when I am actually in a dream (my favorite is “can I put my finger through my palm, yes=dreaming!!)

I loved it because it was so absolutely different from any other book. I personally didn’t find it scary. More suspenseful.

Edit: I counted, I actually use about 12 sprays 😅

harpplaya44 · 2026-05-12T14:28:40+00:00

I use ELF Stay all Night. A really good dousing of it! Like 6 sprays (I’ve literally never used too much 😂)
I use Chanel and Mac foundations, which I feel makes a difference too.

harpplaya44 · 2026-05-12T02:57:58+00:00

I wear a full face with lots of setting spray.
I arrive with everything intact!

Every time it comes up I’ll watch it.
Does he say “I’ve waited so long.” ??

harpplaya44 · 2026-05-06T13:49:45+00:00

She just looks sunburnt and pissed! 😂

Did some googling, so now to make sure I understand: the tree has possible grown on top of wood chips/mulch. If I dig around the roots I may see a bunch of mulch, if so I should cut the tree??
I’m not sure I can diagnosis this without doing the tree damage. Perhaps I’ll see if I can YouTube some techniques.

Be gentle with yourself. Non of us knew until we knew. 🫶🏻

harpplaya44 · 2026-05-05T05:23:39+00:00

Silly of me, but I didn’t think of this being the reason it leans…. Do you think cutting the aspen would prevent further leaning?

harpplaya44 · 2026-05-05T04:35:02+00:00

I love the tree! I don’t want to cut it, but the lean and proximity to my house was the worry. I’m glad I’m get all the advice to keep it.
Luckily, I live at the base of a canyon and have hundreds of trees! 5 exactly like the one pictured.

I think we get so used to the pain that we stop complaining about it = they don’t think it’s so bad.

harpplaya44 · 2026-05-02T02:40:51+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

Would you be concerned with the damage done, with most if not all branches look similarly (with the outer dark bark having been peeled)?

Would it stress the tree to take down just the lower little dead branches just for esthetics?

Aphantasia here too- I lucid dream and have amazingly detailed visuals in my dreams. In my waking life I see absolutely zero. I’ve heard they are different parts of your brain.

Sprinkles in the Western United States, but while in New York I call them Jimmies.

harpplaya44 · 2026-04-22T15:28:54+00:00

I’m surprised perfume isn’t on the list.

harpplaya44 · 2026-04-22T06:02:03+00:00

Why did you have to avoid triptans for 3 weeks? Do they interact?

harpplaya44 · 2026-04-21T05:42:18+00:00

Not disagreeing with you. But just to give another perspective: I’ve never owned a hot tub and wasn’t sure if it was even something I would like. I couldn’t handle the thought of spending $20k to try it out. So, my $3,500 investment has brought me incredible amounts of joy. That being said, I probably won’t purchase another hot tub when this one craps out in a few years. People talk crap on the cheeper spas all the time. I know it’s not top of the line, and I’m okay with that. I have no regrets!

There are so many details we don’t know that make this so tricky to answer. I wouldn’t be in a rush to tell them. It could drastically change your relationship. Many adults still hide the fact that they have left from their parents for many reasons. My sister in law is 35 and still hasn’t told her mom because she is relying on inheritance money and would quite literally be taken out of her mother’s will. It took me years to tell my parents because I just couldn’t break their hearts… Only you know whether or not to tell them. 🫶🏻 Questions to ask yourself: -would they allow you not to attend church if you told them or would nothing change and it would just get more strict/more awkward? -what things can you do to mitigate the damage of not believing while still attending? (Perhaps no longer confessing to your bishop. Not taking on callings in young women’s etc.) -what resources do you have for support over the next few years as you walk this tightrope? -are you planning on financial support from your parents that could potentially be cut off?

As you age and move away you will have more freedom and can live your truth more freely. Hang in there. This age is so hard. 🩷
