In re: "<i>...did you pick up the French from the kids you played with and your teacher...</i>" I had no previous training, just that total immersion thing with playmates, school, and a maid/nanny who spoke no English. It was either sink or swim, and I swam. I think young children... any child... can pick up a language quickly and easily. At least that's what happened to me.<br /><br />And thanks for that recommendation. I'm not so sure I wanna be more creative, though. <b>;-)</b>Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-48756803289945982682013-03-06T08:38:48.784-07:002013-03-06T08:38:48.784-07:00A fascinating post.

My copy was given to me in the early '90s by a former student and successful artist. The book recommends keeping a dream journal as a means of boosting creativity. As soon as you awaken in the morning, you write down your dreams from the night before. If you do this regularly, your ability to recall dreams is much improved. <br /><br />In the 2010 post, I'm not sure I agree with TSMP that the person being dreamed about is responsible for his dream behavior (I tend to think it's the dreamer's responsibility), but I did enjoy the way you turned the tables at the end. <br /><br />I really enjoyed the link to the older post under the Chateau de Sceaux and the story about your childhood in England and France. You did a great job in writing from the point of view of a child, which is not an easy thing to do. The tone, etc. of the piece was quite different from your normal voice. I'm curious, did you pick up the French from the kids you played with and your teacher or did you have some earlier training?
