[Book Review] Astrology in the Middle Ages, by Theodore Otto Wedel (Dover Press) (14 Apr 2010). In Astrology in the Middle Ages, Wedel attempts to shed some light about the transitions surrounding astrology, particularly at a time categorized by the power of the church and a lull in science. He mentions numerous scholars, writers, priests, scientists, historians, and philosophers; and describes the development of astrology from a lost art near the beginning of the middle ages to something closer to a high science by the end. His tone seems to take the subject as a little more sacred than your average modern reader might like to see, but the examination of past attitudes is enlightening as to what really mattered and when.
How is this for a weird "dream" experience (19 May 2009). I came awake right at the edge of a dream and had a weird experience because of it.
Up, slighty before 6am, hotel room (22 Aug 2009). A dream about being forced into a menial job by the in-laws, or at least, the wife forced into a menial job by the in-laws. Not really groundbreaking as a dream, but chronicled here because of the impact it had on me then.
My most symbolic dream in awhile: the missing child and double stair-case (24 Nov 2009).
One element of my dreams I often forget to mention (24 Dec 2009). A lot of my dreams involve a hill or a cliffside. Something I've never really thought about before.
This morning's sleep disturbed by a series of events (28 Jun 2010). Brief bit about floods in my dream, and their significance.
Another sleepless night, dreams of hell, heaven, and the labyrinth... (22 Jul 2010).
