Bad Dream, Good Dream


It’s a Thursday.  I am home from work watching mindless Super Dave Osborne videos on YouTube.  I’ve got zero energy and my brain doesn’t want to work.  Nasty cold.

Super Dave Osborne is summarized quite well by Wikipedia as “a naive but optimistic stuntman who frequently appears injured when his stunts go spectacularly wrong.”  Sort of a blend of Evel Knievel and Tim ‘the Tool Man’ Taylor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Super Dave stunts run around five to seven minutes.  Unfortunately, at the beginning of every stunt I am forced to watch five seconds of a NADEX Binary Options ad before I can skip to the video.  It’s painful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dozens of Super Dave/NADEX moments later I’m feeling better and drive to my annual eye checkup.  I’m running late and I can’t find parking.  Finally a beautiful oasis of wide open parking, a block long, opens up.  Sorry Kerry, no parking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The tragic trilogy is complete, a cold, repetitive NADEX ad torture, and no parking.

A shot of Nyquil and off to bed early.  And then it happens.

I’m having this wonderful dream in which I am driving down a beautiful tree-lined street.  The sun is shining, all is well.  Suddenly the street begins to look exactly like the street where I came across all the No Parking signs on my way to the eye doctor.  And then it turned ugly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same street as before, but the No Parking signs of reality were turned into NADEX Binary Option signs in dreamland.  To make things worse, there were more signs now.  The evil advertising machine had succeeded.

Despite my foggy head.  Despite my conscious decision to skip the NADEX Ads on YouTube.  My unconscious mind registered the NADEX image and brought it to the attention of my conscious mind.  Yeah, thanks.

Repetition and visualization will cause your brain to remember, and reflect on the subject matter.  Science knows this.  Advertisers know this.

God knows this as well.

Repetition and visualization works with Scripture.  This is the basis of the Christian Mandala Bible Study approach.  You draw (stick figures if you’d like) in a special way as you study a passage of Scripture in three different ways.

What you draw, no matter how primitive it might look, together with the repetition causes the passage of Scripture to stay fresh in your mind all day.  You might even find yourself dreaming Scripture.  I do, and the dreams are good.
