The Bible of Recurrent Dreams, or just Dreams or Whatever.

After a fairly long sabbatical from the process of floating words in cyber space I have found again a purpose, a reason to come back to it. Inspired by the book I'm reading, there comes about a new project of sorts, call it an act of divination or moral obligation or simply the usual madness one has to do for oneself.
I'm compiling a book of dreams. You send your dreams- day dreams dreamt at night, sights seen with eyes shut, felt with hands alseep, sleep walking into the world behind the eyelid- with your name and the date and I put it down with your name and the date into the Bible of Dreams. Well, the Bible of Recurrent dreams, or just dreams, or whatever.
Many many centuries later some creature capable of reading the ancient script of english will find it only to realise the dreams are the same over and over again.

the end.



PS: to see with eyes shut and tapping the infinite power of dreams into our lives are themes Chamko Rani is delving on for her dance pedagogy sessions with her students at schools and pre-montessori.
PPS: The book I'm reading is full of little things that inspire you into doing things- Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

  3. day before I had a dream my father was getting married to my cousin who grew up with him. It was bloody wierd being my age in the dream but not the obvious reasons of he is my father and already married, somethings unsaid etc.

    Today I had to dreams, in one I was being given papers about my accomodation in Seoul. I woke up and found the email.
    The other dream was strange as hell. Umm, the guy I'm seeing was being taught how to get intimate with me by a friend who is a dance facilitator too.. in full class style..Absolutely baseless.I don't think he needs any training.
