Dreams and Realities

I am not sure what is better: to live in a dream, or to wake up in a better reality. I thought that I was really good in squash. I thought that (more or less) I was playing it right. I thought that I was sweating a lot playing. Well, this was just a dream. Today I played with Ross and I realized how deep I was sleeping. I woke up and I was not good at squash; I woke up and I was not playing it right; I woke up and I was sweating more than before. However, weaking up to this reality is far better than keep dreaming. Why? Because, in this way my dreams can become true: I will get really good at squash, I will play it right and I will sweat a lot...Eventually, I will beat Ross.

Coming back from squash and after managing to pull myself together, I watched the video recordings of the Wireless Cultures seminar at Tate Modern, back in 2003. Pete Gomes work is very interesting, quite close to subjects I am looking at as well: mobile devices and the urban space. I kept some notes listening to his presentation, but I need to find out more about his work (especially on his 'terraportals' and 'psychic interface').

Tonight was a dancing class night. Neither I nor Anna were focused this time. I stepped on her numerous times and my posture was miserable. Merenge was a disaster and Walsh had no rhythm. We did well though on Foxtrot, this was a survivor. But Rock & Roll was a shipwreck. I hope we do better next time, otherwise how can we go to the competition in Blackpool and win?

...Another dream to sleep on.
