I had a few strange dreams last night. Dreams where there were situations completely out of my control. Situations that I was involved in and needed to be able to have control over them. I&#8217;m not sure if this is an analogy of my mind at the moment. I&#8217;m certainly working to master my mind now. I&#8217;m not anxious about these dreams, although they did disturb my sleep a good amount. Maybe I need to keep an eye on my moods.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dreaming as I did last night I&#8217;m wondering if there are many people who are truly happy in life. They say ignorance is bliss. They may well be right. The more I strive to be a better version of myself the harder it seems at times. I guess if you&#8217;re ignorant of the higher calling of self knowledge or other knowledge and wisdom then things may seem better. \u00a0I&#8217;m never sure when my thinking is rational or when the Cyclothymia is causing a change in my thinking. Quite often it&#8217;s too late before I know the difference. I certainly know that it&#8217;s good to search oneself for ones higher better person. It&#8217;s not always easy though to feel that the world isn&#8217;t conspiring against you or your efforts. I guess I&#8217;ll just keep going forwards. Actually it&#8217;s not a case I&#8217;ve guessing, it&#8217;s a case of I will keep pushing forwards because I want to and because it leads to self improvement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I have a reasonably busy day ahead today so I guess I&#8217;d better get on with it.
