I'm with you on dreams. I used to say that I didn't have them, but a friend who is REALLY into her dreams said it was only because I wasn't paying attention. Sure enough, as soon as I tried to pay more attention I miraculously seemed to have more dreams. (As you note!) I'm still a crappy sleeper and still don't right them down!

If you were like the character in The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms whose dreams come true, then I suppose they would be worth paying attention to. Although maybe not.

I'm looking forward to reading about and seeing what you're learning in your comics class!

I recommend you go the the (Japanese) Friendship Gardens in New Westminster, just beside the City Hall. It's a hidden gem, a very zen place. It's much prettier and more Japanese botanical garden like than the pictures you see on the web. It's a shady place with walks around a pond, bridge etc.

New Westminster's sister city in Japan is Moriguchi, Osaka Prefecture. Japanese dignitaries showed up for the opening ceremonies. There's a plaque in the park that will tell you more about relationship with Japan.

Are you in New West? I'd never heard of this garden. I'll have to check it out one day.

I will walk to New Westminster from Cariboo Heights in Burnaby. I bumped into this park on one of my walks, and it was a pleasant surprise, as you don't expect such a park beside City Hall and busy Royal Avenue. As the former Royal City, New West has a few streets with grassed centre boulevards, reminding me of West King Edward Avenue in Vancouver.
