HERBAL HEALING

12-18-05 - DREAM - I was living at my 16th St. house. It was early morning and I was getting ready for school.

I was talking on the phone to a long distance friend when a girl from school came over to walk with me to school.

I made sure I had my wallet and keys in my big purse and chose to take the brown purse rather than the larger black purse. . As we left the house, we left a night light on for my Mother for when she came home from the hospital. (She died June 21, 2005)

We started walking to school, making comments on how nice the neighborhood was getting over time as we walked up Wright St. towards 20th St. where the elementary school was.

When we got to 20th St., we had to go left and we got into a black car and drove the rest of the way to school. (About 1 more block)

When we went into the school on 20th St., the classrooms weren't set up like normal, they were more like labs with small tables.

On one table was a narrow file drawer with envelopes lined up inside. Inside the envelopes were series of photographs someone took. I decided to look at the photographs.

The first envelope had a series of photographs of a tropical hurricane as it got stronger and stronger and created more and more damage to a small palm tree.

The second envelope had photos of a man being dressed in a Halloween type costume that was very realistic, including fur and they made him look like a cat. The man lay on the floor then, and someone set him on fire.

I didn't want to believe they would actually set this man on fire to take his photo.

The third envelope was of another storm. I don't know if it was a hurricane. The landscape looked more like the mid-west somewhere and the series of photos showed one spot with more and more damage as the storm photos continued.

There was a whole line of these envelopes and I decided I didn't need to see more of this negative horror photo stuff today.

We went into another lab class where people had been gambling all night and had left their mess for us to clean up.

There were red and green flowered quilts mounded on top of these tables and we were told to pick up any loose nickels and dimes ad quarters left behind on top of the quilts.

I dropped the coins from the table I was cleaning into a blue pouch bag that was in my purse.

Then I noticed that the man who had been using the table I was cleaning had left behind his notebooks that he had been writing in.

Two of the notebooks had lists of names of his personal contacts. The next one was some kind of writing and I saw a word highlighted 'ETHOS'.

Definitions of ethos on the Web:

The internal social context of a work of literature, comprising the characterization and setting of fictional literature and the relation of the author to his reader or audience in thematic literature.
www.sil.org/~radneyr/humanities/litcrit/gloss.htm

www.oup.com/uk/booksites/content/0199274894/student/glossary/glossary.htm

The name used by Aristotle for what modern students of communication refer to as credibility.
highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/007256296x/student_view0/glossary.html

the esprit d’corps or spirit of the group. In a CPM ethos, there is an attitude and climate of opinion that passionately aspires toward a Church Planting Movement.

is a persuasive, or rhetorical, appeal depending on the trustworthiness or reliability of the communicator as well as his or her credibility. All corporations have an ethos.

In ancient Greek music, the "ethical" character attr ibuted to the various modes. The Dorian was considered strong and manlv; the Phrvgian, ecstatic and passionate; the Lydian, feminine, decadent, and lascivious; the Mixolydian, mournful and gloomy. (See p. 86.)
