Fantasy Mainland

I'm sitting here thinking about the difference between dreams and fantasy. Dreams feel like goals...something attainable, while fantasy seems totally detached from reality. But, then, even as I type that out I wonder...what about old fiction that was (and still is) considered fantasy about crazy things like going into outer space, having ships that go underwater, and machines that can think for themselves. 60 years ago that stuff was impossible...now it seems pretty normal. Just thinking out loud (or actually, just thinking silently and typing it out), but is there a process where fantasy becomes a dream and then a reality? Or am I just overthinking it?

I look forward to seeing all the things I think are fantasy becoming reality...like when I can buy a car that turns into a robot that battles evil.

Texas is a breeding ground for genius




...or insanity...I still can't tell the difference.

First, thank you for finally blessing me with another blog.

Second, Texas is definitely a breeding ground... for all sorts of things that I don't care to think about.

Third, it seems like a logical process: this fantasy -> dream -> reality -> being the master of an awesome robot/vehicle hybrid. Although, not hybrid like a hippie cars.

Interesting Halleen, interesting.

Glad to see you're still living, or at least living enough to update your blog finally.
