dream: writing, and writing

Besides this place, I keep writing a “regular” journal by hand, currently in Moleskine notebooks like Bruce Chatwin (who would be one of my literary idols right now if I ever got around to having them any more — not sure why I don’t) did.

Last night’s dream: I am, in waking life, coming to the end of one of the volumes. In dream life, I pick up the book to write some more, and — pen in hand — I turn to where the ribbon marker is, where I left off. But there are more scribblings there. I turn the page to find empty space, but more writing, notes, scribbles, doodles fill the pages. I don’t remember writing them or finishing the volume, but there they are. As I leaf to the end of the journal and find stuff on all of the pages, I remember with relief that I have a brand new, untouched Moleskine waiting to be written in.

So ends the dream.

One thought on “dream: writing, and writing

  1. I was Googling the Glass Cuts album for info on its new release and discovered your blog entry from 09/04 where you’re playing my remix! Just a quick note to say hi from the remixer, and thanks for playing it – I hope you enjoy. It’s very exciting for me to be invloved with the Glass Cuts project, my first international release! Anyway thanks again.

    ps your dream sounds pretty nice actually, it seems clear from it that you have a mission in life to tell stories, and the storyteller’s journey is far from over. Keep writing!

    Cheers, Robert Bell
