11 April 2026 Saturday -- helping

an older man who lives in a transitory way between places. 
i'm trying to help him. i'm taking notes, he gives me his
first name, but hesitates to give his last. at one point i 
think he gives me only the first initial, S, but then i think
he tells me "Soma," or something similar. i can't remember his 
first name...

there was something to do with outside courtyards or quads. 
and maybe indoor museum areas.

waking life note: 

in 2021, i was on unemployment, and was working heavily with
lucid dream practice, after having been consistent with 
meditation practice for some time. i was having lucid dreams
pretty frequently, several a month. i haven't had one in a
long while, but i believe i can get there again. i did notice
back then that waking up with an alarm, not getting enough 
sleep, or getting poor sleep makes dream practice more 
challenging. as does being stressed and letting myself lose
my grasp on mindfulness.
