Arcadia laughs at beatings!

Last night we might just have witnessed Arcadia’s first laugh.  She observed me beating some eggs with a fork and giggled.  We haven’t gotten her to repeat it, but it was very exciting!

The Effect of Cinema on Movement in Dreams

Before there were movies how did dream play out?  A lot of my dreams are first person*, but not always.  Some dreams use** cinematic style pans and angles, many of which would only be possible in real life with a camera on a crane. Did the ancient Greeks or the nomadic herds people of pre-history have such motion in their dreams?  I suppose one way to find this out would be to interview some of the few remaining primitive remote cultures who have never seen a movie before, but how am I to do this?

* – I am not always the person which I am viewing first person.

** – I have to say that the dream uses a style or technique because it’s not my consciousness running the show.
