02/19/2014 Russiaka - A Beautiful but Dangerous New Animal

I watched a TV show before I went to sleep on 2/19/2014 showing graphic pictures of the horrors of the Syrian war. I internalized these images and my subconscious projected an interesting image I didn't really understand until I woke up in the morning and my logical conscience took over. It was an image of a beautiful new species. The fur of the animal was like a white Persian cat and the body, nose, and teeth were like a rat. A beautiful white, Persian-haired rat. The animal acted like a cat and wanted to cozy up beside me in my dream.

I was curious. Didn't know where it came from and I was a little nervous about the animal's affection.

I said out loud, "I wonder what it is?" My mind answered back that it was a "Russiaka [Rooshakah]". I remember hearing the Soviet public chant something like this in response to the "USA" chants during the US/Russian 2014 Winter Olympic hockey team playoff game..

In the background, my sister's voice said, "I don't know. It looks dangerous."

It is amazing how the subconscious relays subtle ideas in bizarre ways. The subconscious has absolutely no rules. It can be extremely vicious and shocking with what it comes up with to relay a message to the logical mind to ponder.

So my subconscious melded the two images I had just recently experienced in real life and came up with its own bizarre "image" of the state of Syria and the immoral support factions in Russia still give to an oppressive Syrian government.

My subconscious mind was trying to say "Crossing a beautiful yet cunning and sometimes vicious Persian cat (Persian is really Iran not Syria) with the lack of morals and viciousness of a rat produces a dangerous new animal called a Russiaka!"

When I woke up I knew my subconscious mind was trying to say too much Russian and "Persian" cooperation can become a dangerous, new animal.

I am not even that political and would never make such a harsh judgment of any two countries during my waking hours. When the subconscious gets hold of ideas anything goes!

That is scarier to me than the dream I had!

This latest dream also ties in with a previous dream I had on 6/24/2013 ( Dream 6-24-2013 I am stuck on the northern shore of a very large lake in Russia) where we were at war and I got stuck on the north side of a Russian lake and didn't know where to run...east or west because I didn't know who the enemy was and which way they were coming from. Maybe there is going to be some serious East/West conflict that forces some dangerous partnerships of countries that normally avoid each other. This is the second dream I have had concerning tensions building between Eastern European and Western countries.

Update 2/28/2014: I updated my 6/24/2013 blog entry because the Ukraine protests in Kyiv exactly match keywords and phrases in my 6/24/2013 dream! Always amazes me when actual, future events match dreams I have had.

02/18/2014 Next Gadget Rage?

I had a dream before I woke up this morning (02/18/2014). The dream was about a wrist band made of what appeared to be plastic or glass fused, semi-transparent beads. It changed color when it sensed someone was invading your personal space. There were variations of the design of the color changing beads. The ones I saw worn in my dream changed to purple, green or a varied pattern of purple and green. Memorable and nothing I ever think about so I believe it is a prediction of some item or event I will see in the future. I might do an internet search on green or purple color changing beads to see if I get a hit.

Update 4/30/2015:

Even though I missed out on the profits from $30 million plus dollars in sales of these mittens sometimes it really isn't the money that is important.

What I really want people to remember with my contribution to the Canadian Olympic Red Mittens is my last statement in my first email to the Olympic Committee proposing creating these memorable mittens...

"Please share my dream of attending the 2010 Winter Olympics by letting me make this fun idea a reality. I am originally from Kimberley, BC and know that all Canadians would be proud of displaying a part of Canada’s heritage with an enthusiastic wave to the world!"

... and they did! 

I'm proud to be a part of making the Canadian Winter Olympic Red Mittens experience a reality!

I still have the email thread with the Vancouver BC Olympic Committee regarding my Maple Leaf mitt idea. There is no doubt my prototype was the first design of the Canadian Red Mittens.

Hello,

Attached is a photo example of a "mapleleaf" mitt.

I am excited about this opportunity and look forward to your prompt response.

Thank you,

Marcel

Hello,

I have a small business that sells “Tickles the Bear” children’s books on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Walmart.com, etc. (Just type in “Tickles the Bear” in a search engine or Amazon.com!)

I would very much like to be a part of the Olympics in 2010 and watch some of the Olympic events. To achieve this goal I make the following proposition.

Provide, for free, at least 5000 pairs of cotton blend/one size fits all mitts or gloves with a red, iron-on maple leaf on the inside palm of the glove/mitt and a sponsor’s name on the outside wrist of the glove/mitt. That way event attendees can wave at the camera and proudly display Canada’s red maple leaf to the whole world! ...

Watched the beautiful opening ceremonies.

I saw the Canadians were wearing a rendition of my original mitten design again.

Cool!

Wish the 2010 Olympic Committee (VANOC) would recognize me as the true designer of those mittens though.

Pretty lame of them not to.

The maple leaf I used for the prototype came from my back yard. I just bought some "iron on" paper and made a copy of the maple leaf, filled it red in Microsoft Paint Brush and printed out the now red maple leaf image using the "iron on" paper. Then I cut out the "iron on" maple leaf and ironed it on the prototype mittens. I sent to the 2010 Olympic Committee in 2008 when they were asking for ideas for the 2010 Winter Games.

I still have a copy of the email I sent them.

In my opinion, the mittens were totally my idea!

One person gave me credit...Bob Mackin. Thank you Bob!

Update 10/26/2013- Bob Mackin interviewed me and documented my claim to designing the 2010 Winter Olympics' Red Mittens in his book Red Mittens & Red Ink
