Balancing Dream Insights, Technical Refinements, and Personal Growth

Writing from Newton NJ, Brian Schnabel explores personal growth through dream journaling, mood-shifting incantations, and technical refinements, including SEO and database optimization. Introspection, creative process, and practical achievements with gratitude for steady progress is all part of the package found here.

Wednesday, June 18, 2025: 11:29 PM: Over the past few days, I’ve plunged into refining a few of my incantations, stripping them down to their core essence so they serve me in a way that is at the very least, productive. Incantation equals mood shifting these days and that to me makes the effort well worth the time. I had fun working through different word configurations and intonations, testing each variation until I achieved a balance that feels both direct and totally kick ass. In a way, “The process is kind of like writing a song.”

Dream journaling has taken on new depth lately. As mentioned already in other places, I’m using a more structured template to track recurring symbols and themes with Copilot’s assistance. Documenting my dreams over the past two days has already allowed me to draw actionable insights, turning fleeting imagery into meaningful guidelines for daily alignment.

It’s hard to do it all in your head. I don’t know how the ancients managed it before writing came along. Especially when it came to finding commonality between dreams. Maybe they just didn’t bother? “Somehow I doubt that!”

On the technical front, over this past week I’ve made headway on refining The BriaSphere’s WordPress setup. I dug into SQL query commands for using phpMyAdmin. Microsoft Copilot Pro was a big help here and I successfully optimized the database manually. Initially, I had planned to build a custom plugin for automated cleanup, but I recognized that the complexity wasn’t matching the immediate benefits. Scrapping the plugin has refocused my effort on direct, hands-on improvements—streamlining SEO tweaks in blog categories and descriptions without extra layers of distraction or complication. “The site is working well thus far!”

It hasn’t been all work though. I’ve been reading The Great Courses book on The Celtic World and think I’m most of the way through it. I’ve taken time to get outside and walk around, too, rather enjoying sitting in the sun for a while late this afternoon.

Even though the laundry, dishes, and other household tasks have been on the back burner, I remain grateful for the progress in aligning both my inner vision and technical processes. Each step, whether spiritual or practical, contributes to a gradual but steady evolution of my work and daily routine.

Wow! Did I just write that? What the hell does it even mean. Oh well… “It’s all good!”
