I've had the strangest dreams

January 17th 2009 09:49
I'm not normally one to dwell on my dreams. I guess that might actually have to do with the fact that I don't usually remember them! But I've been having some quite odd dreams lately, well one in particular about parenting.

The dream basically starts with me minding my son in the dark who is now crawling and getting close to walking on his own. About 10 minutes later I lose "touch" with him and can't find him in the dark again. It's rather frightening and at this point in time I usually wake up in a frantic state wondering where he is and then remembering he's asleep in his cot, What's worse is that I usually feel like I've been dreaming awake (ie dreaming that I've actually been awake in the bedroom where our son sleeps).


Not quite sure what it means....
Any ideas?

Hope everyone had a wonderful XMas and New Year and is having a terrific '09 so far.

For those of you who like Joe Cocker, here's the lyrics to Feeling Alright. (which is where the title of the blog comes from if you didn't know already...)

When someone says that their having communication trouble it often means something like arguments, disagreements, people not listening or others just not communicating at all.

Deafblindness and parenthood poses another completely dilemna in terms of communication and that's the intensity of the physical communication mode. There are two problems that intertwine when it comes to tactile communication combined with parenting. One is the physical limitations of both partners (though my shoulders, arms and other body parts suffer less but are still quite painful

Ok so I've been slack in posting on Orble....

No, not really. Trying to juggle responsibilities between an 11 month old who's decided he wants to be very independant (I wonder where he gets that from? ), studying Psychology at University and setting up a new house I haven't had much time for anything. That of course doesn't even begin to look at the daily chores of life like the washing.... ack. Oh and making the 1st Birthday cards, which being creative, have been doing myself

I'm back....

Errrr no.
Not the Terminator but after a bit of a biatus I have returned. Unfortunately there's been a bad case of flu going around our house for the past 3 months or so (doggone it, I think I've finally kicked it at last).

Facing the challenge of fatherhood

January 26th 2008 10:21
Join me in the trials and tribulations of fatherhood. But there's a twist... I'm Deaf with a severe Vision Impairment (Deafblind) which leaves many questions, fears and large hurdles but provides me with tremendous joy.

Are you game to face the challenge?
