#dream book

[elvishdemigod]

So I just had this dream, I ended up at a library booksale.

And there was a somewhat older looking kids book series called "Zombiefied John Hancock." And the first book was "Zombiefied John Hancock: Rocker Extraordinaire." I forget what the 2nd book was called. But they were supposed to be stories retelling historical events in a fun way for kids.

Looked exactly like the Fallout Hancock, mostly his concept art with the hair, but wasn't him as the books were older than the game.

Kind of sad it was just a dream. Would've been an awesome find, honestly. Even Fallout 4 aside, older historical books meant to be fun for kids making figures into zombies? Sounds pretty cool, actually.

After yesterday's post, we fell into a chapbook rabbit hole! Here's one of the gems we uncovered (and yes, we realize we're mixing metaphors).

This dream book from 1859 includes interpretations such as, "To dream you see a ghost, is very unfortunate: if it is of a comely aspect, and dressed in white, it shews deceit and temptation to sin; if you are in love, it is a sign of your not being beloved in turn, and that you are in the habits of friendship with one who is your most inveterate enemy."

Needless to say this isn't one of JSTOR's peer-reviewed publications. It comes from McGill Library’s Chapbook Collection on JSTOR, which features nearly 1,000 chapbooks published in England, Scotland, Ireland, and the US in the 18th and 19th centuries. And yes, they're all free to read and download!

"Can I copy your homework?"

"OK, but change it a little so it doesn't look like you copied me."

"Ummm... no."

When you are multi-talented badass across many mediums and/or galaxies, but you spent your last public appearance standing around biding your time.

how to brain dump like a pro

what you need

a messy notebook (I like the Leuchturm bullet ones)

a pen

a beverage for emotional support (or several <3)

how to get started

grab your notebook, and sit down in a quiet moment with enough time so you won't stress even more. The point of a brain dump is to unload all your thoughts, everything that is stressing you is put to paper. not aesthetically, no cutesy Pinterest vibes; we need it plain, unromanticised, and personal.

some prompts to get you going

do I have any deadlines coming up?

have I been making time for myself and my hobbies?

what projects, tasks, appointments, and/ or plans are currently stressing me out?

am I procrastinating anything?

am I properly looking after myself? (mental/physical health, skincare, hobbies, school/work, etc etc)

am I currently working through any challenges, and if yes how is that going so far?

how are my friends/relationships doing?

is there an area in my life that I should prioritise right now?

do I feel confident and comfortable at the moment?

Review and reflect

take some time and go over your writing; you can underline or highlight the points that you find most important. make this whole "brain dump" thing a routine; sometimes it takes a bit of writing until you actually get comfortable with putting your emotions onto paper (it sounds easier than it is..), but the more often you do this, the more comfortable you will get!! <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments! <3

love ya ･:*₊‧✩
