Secret Rooms
I keep dreaming about secret rooms in many different structures.?
Some are scary, but most are not. Some involve my dead grandmother. The other night I dreamt I worked in a hospital and found an old forgotten hall with many closed doors, but at the end of the hall was the O.B. room. There were 2 woman in there giving birth, but it was all being kept quiet from the rest of the hospital staff. Many, many dreams like this and I can't figure out why. Any ideas?
I've even dreamed that my grandmother had an identical house, that she lived in built underground. It was a secret, but she told me, then we went to see it. It was a wonderful place. I've had these dreams for years. I even dreamed once that an old house my grandmother lived in had a secret room, full of valuable antiques, but also was an evil place. Nobody knew about this secret room except my granny and I. She said I could have what I wanted out of the room, but I was too afraid to enter, so was she. What do you think?
To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain remains active. The brain thinks about what has recently been most active during waking hours—experiences, thoughts and feelings accessed recently whether consciously or not. The brain is still active, so it works on this content, but not in a familiar, rational way. During sleep, this material is not related using input from the external real world, but rather by the brain connections already established in the cortex. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange, circuitous flow from one image to the next. So dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but dream imagery is taken from everyday experiences, thoughts and feelings that matter most to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply standard symbol definitions, such as Freudian meanings or standard “dreammoods” symbols. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.
Your dream imagery is all about the idea that in life, there are areas known to some, but not revealed to others. These "secrets" other people have may be political, or personal, but it's disconcerting to know that these areas exist. Or it may simply be that at work, there's a lot to learn about what's going on, and you keep discovering important things that people weren't talking about. But you've picked up on this theme in your life, and you sometimes dwell on it - consciously or unconsciously - causing you to associate "secret room" imagery in your dreams.
I hope this is helpful.

While Patrick Miller doesn`t land the client he`s looking for, his experience at Alcoholics Anonymous convinces him to keep coming back, and IN THE ROOMS turns into a pertinent satire of dependency culture and the old-fashioned style of social networking.

| | Twelve Rooms With a View (Paperback) $21.06 How would it feel to go overnight from living in a trailer park to a twelve-room apartment overlooking Central Park in a landmark Victorian building?  This is what happens to housecleaner Tina Finn, who, with her sisters, Alison and Lucy, suddenly comes into possession of the Livingston Mansion Apartment at the Edgewood. The Finn sisters inherit the $11 million property from their estranged alcoholic mother, but they aren’t the only siblings vying for it. Their mother’s wealthy second husband, Bill—who died just three weeks before Tina’s mother—has two sons. And they are furious at the thought of losing the apartment that’s been in their family for generations. Tina moves into the nearly vacant, palatial space to solidify her claim to it, but she soon discovers that Bill’s sons aren’t the only ones who want her out. The building’s other residents are none too pleased by her presence either. In fact, the co-op board has designs on wresting control of the apartment from both sets of children. As Tina fends off all the people who want to evict her (or worse), she starts to get involved in her neighbors’ complex lives. There’s the mercurial, eccentric botanist who may be either a friend or an enemy; the self-absorbed, randy son of the co-op board president, whose friendship without benefits Tina tries to curry; the large, chaotic family whose depressed teenage daughter becomes Tina’s ally and spy; the ghost Tina hears crying at night in her apartment’s secret room . . . In this entertaining yarn by acclaimed playwright, screenwriter, and author Theresa Rebeck, we follow Tina Finn—a woman both comical and compelling, well intentioned and a bit of a thief—as she begins to love her new home, discovers traits to admire in people she’s only just met, and realizes, finally, her place in her family and the world. |

4 Secrets To Building An Engaging Brand Experience
When you think of creating a new brand, it's easy to think about advertising managers sitting around a conference room tossing around ideas with caffeine fueled creativity. However, often times, the most powerful branding comes from adding a little "fun" to your brand experience.
Driven by the Burger King mentality, today's customers want to do business their way on their time. They want to make their own choices. As business people, it's our job to make sure then when customers are ready to make their choice, our product or service is their top choice.
Below are five secrets to put some spark and imagination into your brand and create an unforgettable brand experience.
Secret #1: Tell Your Company's Unique Brand Story
Television shows have long been a part of our culture. When viewers watch television shows, they see stories about characters that we relate to. Remember the Brady Bunch theme song? It tells the story of a lovely lady... well, you know how it goes.
Now imagine harnessing the power of storytelling for your business! By sharing your brand story, you create a powerful connection to your customers. They feel as though they know you. This brand story paints a colorful vignette of who you are, what vision you hold, and what experiences made you the company you are today. While your brand story might not be as catchy as the Brady Bunch tune, raving fans love to share stories of their favorite brands with others.
PartyLite is a direct sales company that has done a phenomenal job of weaving their brand story into their marketing message. Listen to the story of how this company got started.
"Mabel K. Baker, a young housewife, provided holiday candles for her friends. She hand-dipped candles from the wax of bayberry plants, which were plentiful on Cape Cod. From these humble beginnings, Colonial Candle of Cape Cod was established. In 1973, PartyLite was established to satisfy the desire people have for home beautification, along with the ever-increasing need for additional family income."
Now can't you just imagine Mabel sitting outside and turning her gaze over to the bayberry plants in her backyard! Surely a light bulb went off in her head as she picked berries off the bush and harvested the wax to make gift candles for her dearest friends. A story like this makes you feel like when you get a PartyLite candle, that you are getting more than a factory made product. Rather, you are getting a lovely crafted handmade candle. Great story and great marketing!
What's your brand story? Do you have a wonderful story to tell about how your business was started? Was there a turning point in your company that shaped you into the organization you are today?
Secret #2: Make Your Brand a Household Name by Coining the Term
Why define your brand experience in terms we already use? Kleenex, Xerox, and Fed X are companies whose brand names have set the standards for their industry by becoming the coined terms to describe a tissue, making a copy, and overnight deliveries.
So how do you go about making your brand a household name?
Marla Cilley, aka "The FLY Lady" is an organizing super hero for moms across the county. She has turned her passion for tidiness into a nationally known brand.
How did she do it? By adding an ounce of fun with her own unique terms and philosophies. For example, The FLY Lady stands for Finally Loving Yourself.
Fans of the FLY Lady know that she lives by three rules.
1) Don't sweat the small stuff
2) Laugh everyday. Even if it is at yourself.
3) Love like there is no tomorrow.
If you visit her website at FlyLady.net, you'll notice that her brand is even reflected in some of the names of the navigation links: Why FLY, FLYing Lessons, FLY Zone, Time FLYs when, FLY FAQ, FLY Library, Join FlyLady Now, Ask FlyLady, and The FlyShop.
Secret #3: Add Your Unique Brand of Humor
Humor has the power to transform an ordinary product into a fun experience for the whole audience. Recently I saw a commercial for Red Stripe "The Great Jamaican Beer" that delivers an unforgettable quirky message.
The Jamaican spokesperson is dressed in a black tuxedo and says, "Red Stripe - the beer in the short stubby ugly bottle. If ugly people stand next to a Red Stripe they look beautiful."
He speaks to a man who is sitting next to him, "You sir, would you say that you are ugly?
(Pause) You are VERY ugly!"
The man who is sitting down replies a little confused, "Well I don't know..."
The spokesperson hands him a beer and says, "Here hold this Red Stripe."
The man says, "Okay."
The spokesperson says, "Look, you are beautiful!" (Obviously implying that just by holding this beer this formerly "ugly" man is transformed into being beautiful.)
Spokesperson says enthusiastically, "Red Stripe, it's beer. Hooraaaayy Beer!"
The man cheers, "Hooray Beer."
The spokesperson adds at the end, "...says the beautiful man."
The point is, that although you may have never heard of Red Stripe beer before, this funny commercial really sticks in your mind. Even though we are not beer drinkers, this commercial is surely creating living room conversations in homes across the country.
That's how a funny campaign can instantly turn a new or unknown product into a national phenomenon.

Secret #4: Create your own Catch Phrases and Own Quotes
If you type the words "inspirational quotes" into Google, you will see that there are 1,130,000 listings. Quotes are hot! So why not tap into the power of quotes and catch phrases for your business?
Go back in your mind to the "Where's the Beef" commercials from Wendy's. That was a fun series of engaging commercials that had the whole country asking themselves, "Where's the Beef?".
And think about Donald Trump's "Your Fired!" I'm sure that he had no idea that his show, "The Apprentice" would take off the way it did and become the "in thing."
When you create a hot catch phrase or quote, you'll find your words popping up on websites, in blogs, talked about in elevators, written on bathroom walls, and in the most unexpected placed.
Take a moment to step back and really look at your company's brand. With a little imagination, you can transform buying your product or service into a fun, one-of-a-kind brand experience that your customers will never forget.
