Bobbing and artful lanterns were on display in trout lake park (which is my local awesome park). Plus music, dancing, wild things, and fireworks.

I took a few photos and there are lots more from this year and past years on flickr.


It turns out it's pretty easy to make a simple box lantern. As long as you have some wood, glues, tissue paper, wire, and instructions. Thank you to the Public Dreams Society for providing all of those things when we stumbled on their lantern making workshop.

Lessons learned for my next lantern making session:
- use a light color paper tissue as background all around, and fill up each panel with decoration.
- 'ears' on the top of the box are cool, and could be made into a point easily.
- bring extra tea candles for a never-ending lantern night.]]> http://vorg.ca/2063-Vancouver-illuminares-lantern-festival dustin vancouver lantern festival public dreams 2006-07-31T03:50:06-04:00 http://vorg.ca/2063-Vancouver-illuminares-lantern-festival#replies Huzzah http://vorg.ca/113-Huzzah http://vorg.ca/113-Huzzah dustin dreams 2003-04-10T12:40:11-04:00 http://vorg.ca/113-Huzzah#replies the dream world http://vorg.ca/112-the-dream-world techniques for achieving it.

This is now officially on my goal list. Step one is to increase my dream retention rate. Usually I don't remember my dreams very often, but i know at least one way to alter this. I have put a dream-log beside my bed to record any dreams that i do remember. Recording and discussing dreams is also supposed to increase retention.


On that site i linked to they have a description of what an out of body experience (OBE) is usually like. It brought back some memories from when i was a kid. I don't know if it was an OBE, but it sounds like it could have been. I remember feeling as if my limbs were big and heavy, like i was in a giant's body that was sorta encompassing mine and more. It happened repeatedly, and I remember enjoying it.

OK, tonight I am definitely going to have some sort of brush with the dream world.]]> http://vorg.ca/112-the-dream-world dustin dreams 2003-04-10T01:29:15-04:00 http://vorg.ca/112-the-dream-world#replies
