Dream 1
-Yellow candy coated song.

Dream 2

Dream 3
-Classical/Symphonic
-Radial rainbow spokes (7 spoked and 13 spoked)
-black background
-Colors keyed in a darkish blue
-Also rainbow squiggly shapes stacked in a concentric ring, with other floating symbols (+-++- -)
Placed on vertical planes in a...space of raw wooden desks.
-Austere/Buoyant sound
Dream4
-Symphony
-Sounds that recycle into themselves_ accompanied with a nice steady tone.
-Like a light band that travels concentrically in and out of intervals, hitting the same set of notes/tightly bound.
-Spherical and pale
-Shimmering sounds- harder to form a specific shape. Exist maybe as a thin wall of shimmer or iridescent.
-Some shapes are long and diagonal/I didn't see the specific shape though.
-It is this big pattern that is repeating itself, overlapping and morphing.
Dream 5
-gray geodesic dome type of shape with white balls affixed to it.
-A large moving complex concentric structure ( hard to hold on to)

Hypothesis for First Days/Mondays
Sundays and Mondays are important to me. They are days when commitments to a spiritual and intellectual life are in the forefront; ritual and attention set the tone for the week. These days have distinctly structured my time this summer.
On Sundays I attend an unprogramed meeting for worship at the Orange Grove Meeting in Pasadena. This is a Quaker gathering, which is why I will refer to this time as First Day, in line with Quaker diction.
My only class at school on Mondays is from two to seven pm, taught by Tom LaDuke. It is a critique-based class called CREAM.
Both of these gathering retain similar function and priority and energy in my life. And it is important to me that I give them as complete attention as possible. Both meetings also ask for a commitment of reverence and respect.
In this experiment I was interested in teasing out how my attention differed in these spaces – as indicated through memory capture and retention. One week after each First Day/Monday experience set I would sit down and write something that demonstrated what I had been attending to at the time.
In the circumstances different atmospheres are facilitated – spaces of quiet reverence, spaces of lively discussion and learning. Sharing is paramount to each of these social spaces and my experience of both situations has been edifying.
As the experiment progressed and more data was collected the contrast between the kinds of attention began to show itself. The different sorts of reverence created memories of a different texture and certainty. Notes were taken during CREAM crits, and the analysis set forth during the class was input, learned in a way that made reflection come easier a week later. When remembering back to the mornings at the Quaker Meeting, energy was spent for plain recall: what happened, what was noticed? Meaning of emotional value set the memories in place, however in revisiting the ministry one week later it was not possible to achieve any more thorough inquiry into what was shared.
