WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

A wise woman once said: excellent people discuss ideas, mediocore people discuss events, inferior people discuss other people. This blog will be devoted mostly to ideas that I teach and write about. Ocassionally I will throw in some travel, recipes, movie reviews or other quirky indulgences. Since the state of our world and efforts to mend it are never far from my consciousness, you will also find some "current events" features under "tikkun olam." Please feel free to add your comments. Definitions: Midlife--Too late to do anything really new; too late not to. Mussar- A traditional Jewish practice to cultivate ethical insomnia(thanks to Rabbi Stone) If you want to know more about the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College where I teach, check out www.rrc.edu

Dreams

I was reading an article on neuroscience that said that it is possible to not only figure out THAT someone is thinking, but even--in a crude form--WHAT they are thinking. Neuroscientists predict that ability will become more refined as time goes on. On the other hand, while it is possible to ascertain THAT someone is dreaming, it appears to be completely impossible to figure out WHAT they are dreaming and that does not appear to be something that will change.
I find that really interesting!!!
