How Sez Sees It

...in October. There will be no ding-dong of bells chiming though because it is a register office service. Weirdly I do not feel as stressed about this as I did about buying the house. I guess I feel I have more control over this. When we were buying the house we had certain things that we had to wait for and these were things out of our control. With this wedding it is an event and I have organised those before. I feel like if something doesn't get done I only have myself to blame and so I don't get stressed. For some reason I have always wanted an October wedding. I think it is because the weather should still be good without it being too hot for me and also because lots of people go for summer weddings and I am far from conventional in that thinking. Also it is way more expensive to get married in the popular summer months than it is in the autumn. My parents got married on the first weekend of October 36 years ago this year.

I must be weak or stupid for not being able to do something or if I have a random ache or pain I must just be weak in that muscle or something. In reality I could do with losing some weight. Don't get me wrong, I have already started losing weight since I moved into the house. I walk to and from

I am not usually one for these sorts of new agey ideas, but I do believe that there is something in our dreams. To understand what our dreams are trying to tell us we must first understand why we dream. There are different theories behind why we dream and the truth is that no one really knows. One is that we dream so we can act out our desires and fantasies in a safe environment. There is no consequence in a dream which isn't real. Other theories say that we dream because we are trying to make sense of information we pick up during the course of the day. Our brains take in more than we realise and this needs to be processed at some point. Dreams can also be an insight into our unconscious minds. You may not realise you were worried about something but it surfaces in our dreams. Dreaming is only one part of sleep and sleeping is actually when our brains are most active. Sleep is beneficial in that it rests our bodies and repairs any damage done during the day but the brain uses
