Part of this dream involved a shopping center, and maybe me shopping there.

Another part of this dream involved me talking to some Ukrainians who fought in the 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine.

Language Learning And A Monster Rat (Queerat) / Ewok?

The end of this dream took place inside a room that was almost like a nice small school library / classroom / study room, and me and my mom were in this room doing some language learning with some children.

We were trying to promote and encourage learning in general and lifetime learning, learning to learning, to promote and encourage language learning and foreign language learning and applying and using those languages in everyday life, promoting and encouraging education, promoting and encouraging them to mentor others, promoting and encouraging working together, trying to be a positive influence to them and hoping to encourage them to be a positive influence to others, et cetera.

The Daily Post had a Daily Prompt today called Pace Oddity, and this is what it said:

If you could slow down an action that usually zooms by, or speed up an event that normally drags on, which would you choose, and why?

And this is my response:

I would slow down dreaming so that I have more time to dream, and I would slow down aging to have more time to live.

I would speed up work to reduce time wasted working, and I would speed up learning to learn things much faster.

Learning Style

The Daily Post had a Daily Prompt today called Learning Style, and this is what it said:

What’s your learning style?

Do you prefer learning in a group and in an interactive setting?

Or one-on-one?

Do you retain information best through lectures, or visuals, or simply by reading books?

And this is my response:

I am not sure, but I think that using a balanced approach that targets all the learning styles would be the best all-round option for me and for the average person.

It depends, I usually avoid groups because of social anxiety disorder and shyness and maybe generalized anxiety disorder, but depending on the circumstances learning in a group can be helpful for me.

Probably lectures or a combination of all of those where I can see, hear, smell, touch, ask questions, see examples, share my opinions, think, take part in group activities, et cetera.

Attending A College With A Good Spanish Language Program

I went to bed too late and I got awakened early by my alarm clock because I have to go do something early this morning so I got less than four hours of sleep, and so I did not get much time to dream and getting awakened suddenly from my dream caused me to forget most of the only dream that I can barely remember part of.

I know that the dream involved two different colleges, maybe they were in two different cities but I am not sure, and there were things that I liked about both colleges; but I had to decide which one that I would attend or which one that I would try first, and for some reason(s) that I can not remember I probably ended up attending the college who had a somewhat well-known Spanish language program even though my interest is in learning French.

I probably successfully finished the first semester because I remember being outside during the day talking to someone, I can not remember who I was talking to or what we were doing, but we both knew about both colleges and we talked about them and Spanish and French and language learning.

We talked about some of the problems and difficulties et cetera with both colleges, language learning, both languages, the professors, et cetera; but we also talked about some of the good things, advantages, differences, et cetera.

I talked about why I chose to attend the most recent semester at the college I did but I am not sure if I was going to try the other college or not, which possibly had a French language class, and I tried to guess some of the reasons that I was able to pass my first semester and pass my first Spanish language class easier/better than I had expected.

We were having a good conversation, we both knew about the topics that we were talking about and we both had interest in the topics, but I can not remember more unfortunately except maybe something about a dog (maybe cleaning a dog, maybe that is what we were doing outside as we talked, but I can not remember); and I got awakened suddenly by my alarm clock.
