I wish I could remember my dreams. I never can, though; they're gone the second I wake up, unless something in the dream startles me awake. I can remember a couple of dreams I had as a child (One involved the hill behind the house turning into a volcano and erupting, while we sat on the porch outside and watched it, and the sky turned bright orange and spitfires flew around overhead having dogfights. I just sat there and watched it all, as though I was just watching the wind in the branches and birds flying around... I think I was only four when I had that dream (I'm 20, nearly 21 now), and I'm surprised I still remember it...)
In all, my brain is pretty useless in stuff that doesn't have a rigidly defined reason to it... *sigh* I can reason out the biology of a non-existant alien species, but I can't do anything even vaguely spiritual.
Oh, and Rach - surely meditation is not letting the mind go completely blank, it is ordering and controlling one's thoughts? Otherwise there wouldn't be much point to doing it...
