Writer's Block: Daydream believer

Hey, lucid dreamer here. Already do that. (Though not quite as good as my younger self, who was REALLY REALLY good at twirling her dreams around her finger.)
So er, I can, and I generally do if I know it's going to turn into a honest nightmare or something else seems more interesting. If it's just going down the path of weirdness, I generally leave it though, as I kind of liked having a dream with escape puzzle logic (ie, little to none) where two siblings are suspected of murder and the Doctor is the investigating detective.
I'm not sure if I would want to entirely construct my dreams, as it is a lot of work and sometimes letting your subconcious do all of that is nice. Especially when it actually makes sense.
(I really need to do more dreamlogs, seriously.)
On another subject, I find it very odd that there are people calling Abby Sunderland's parents 'neglectful' and all sorts of other things. It kind of illustrates the difference between Australian and New Zealand cultures and American culture, at least in terms of risk taking and adventuring.
I suppose it's the kind of "she'll be right" attitude that permeates the culture, but if Abby were from New Zealand or Australia, EVERYONE would be cheering her on, confident that she knew what she was doing and would be able to tackle the storms. They would also be commiserating over the destruction of the yacht and cheering her on in trying to do it again.
So it just feels kind of odd that her family is being condemned for supporting an independent, confident young woman who wanted to have and adventure on her own.
