Nhe other day I listened to a podcast on the subject of dreams and was once again very surprised. The head of the sleep laboratory in Mannheim says that anyone can train themselves to remember dreams. At least I can, so that's true. But what really surprises me is the reduction of dreams to the subconscious. Dreams would only remember stronger images [...]
Packing
What should I take with me to India? I want to live a different life, in a different society, with different ideas and goals. It's warm there, life will be easy. Apart from the basics like a few items of clothing, I'll need my technical devices such as my laptop, cell phone and camera. And what else? A good flashlight, because the field paths there [...]

Carried by feelings
II live in a hyper-complex society. I notice this in political and social issues that no one can really grasp in their complexity anymore.

Leaving the familiar, breaking the status quo, doing what is important and right without compromising. But that also means suffering and inflicting injuries, breaking things and planting new ones. The only strange thing is that some friends [...]
Insight
Ahen I was a teenager, I had lost my heart to someone who lived in Rome. I traveled to the Eternal City with no money, no plan, it was supposed to be a surprise. That went somewhat wrong. We ate a pizza together, otherwise I had a lot of time to myself. I spent many hours on one of the hills [...]
