8. Today walking home there was a nice breeze...and I thought, "This feels and smells just like the ocean...wouldn't it be nice to live on the coast by the ocean..." Until I realized that I do live by the ocean, in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city! I chuckled. I've always wanted to live by the ocean, and now I do!
   
9. I (also) dreamt I found a stray dog who liked me and I took him in.
