I'm at a rehearsal, the play is about to begin, behind the stage, the set, talking to the other actors. I'm entertaining them, they were worried about practicing their lines, I'm confident that I'll remember mine (I only have a bit role), so I take the opportunity to make wisecracks and jokes.
Where we are, behind the set, it's behind a pretend big stone mansion, if we go through the doors we'll be onstage, the audience in front of us, live. Everyone's busy getting ready. This dream is odd, the foreground too brightly lit, the edges are blurred, dark as if in the audience. I'm only looking at the back of the set. The other actors find me very entertaining. And it's odd as well because I've always done this, been an actor (I've never been an actor) , and I know the theater even, we're at the Citadel in Edmonton (we're not, I know when I wake up).
Finally it's my turn, I enter the stage through the set doors to deliver my Peter Pan/Shakespeare lines, there's a pause for a double beat and I realize the I've forgotten my lines, I improvise, the audience is fine with it and applauds loudly, the show must go on....
Riding the Bus

Sometimes I ride the bus a lot because I don't like to drive my landspeeder around. It gets too many looks. And a great Jedi Mind Trick you can do on the bus is to take an old tranfer that has the same time on it that your getting on the bus, and cover the date with your finger and show it to the bus driver. You wave it back and forth like your showing it to him, but really you're doing a Jedi Mind Trick.
Now sometimes the bus driver will stop you and say "Can I see that please", which is why I wear a Jedi mood ring on the finger that's covering the date. Because when the bus driver asks to see the transfer I pretend to think that he's really interested in my ring and I put the transfer in my other hand so I can use it again and show him my ring and start to tell him where I got it and what sorta mood I'm in and how he could be a Jedi too and just not know it.
Usually this works. If it doesn't I just pretend I forgot something and get off the bus and wait for another one.
Invisibility

Most people don't know that Jedi's can become invisible. This is because it wasn't shown in any of the Star Wars movies. Well, it was but probably you couldn't see it because they were invisible. Anyways, as you can imagine it's one of the most useful mind-tricks out there.
Now I can't tell you how it's done, except that it takes a real Jedi Master like myself to be able to do it properly, but I can tell you that there's a lot of practice involved. Mostly in the dark with your eyes closed.

An interesting take on the current economic meltdown in the US and other places. Overall I'm inclined to agree. Read it here. Amazing how such "Folk Wisom" is common among the masses, and yet entirely absent amongst government.
