Good dreams. Lots of agreeable people, palatial settings. Enjoyed a nice long walk around an estate which sported a couple of percolation ponds... I’m dimly recollecting something about driving a car. I much more clearly remember lounging about a really cracking estate with lots of smart, interesting people. We were all there for some purpose...
This (waking) continuum’s morning is overcast. Cool outside. Really messy in here, in my room, I’m going to have to spend some time getting this room into shape before the maid comes by.

Did wake in a panic this morning. I calmed myself by reciting my plan: work full time at this telefundraising gig until something more congenial turns up- it occurred to me that this is just the sort of situation that works for freelancing.

....

Sooner done, sooner out. Finally I get morning pages!

Greg Egan stated an interesting and possibly pertinent hypothesis yesterday, [within one of his novels] that if there’s a center in the human brain for coordinating social information , that one of the habitual skills of your typical human is in forming a model of other people. Implication as to why is obvious.

This would be an intricate process using all available evidence. When it works it calls special attention to the information it produces, “flagging” it.
