Sleeping, I compose very obsessive dreams.
They have coherent plots, themes and variations, self-reference, misdirection and occasionally denouement.
Almost every morning, and on sleep-in days two or three times I record what I've dreamed into a little bedside word processor. I've modified the keyboard for this; removed seldom used keys around the backspace and placed raised bumps on the "F" and "J" keys to make blind typing easier.
This morning I dreamed my right nipple was leaking transparent purple gel quadralaterals. I pushed near it, and out came about two fingers worth with letters on it in some alien block script. It soon gathered flies...graduated syringes with needle mouths and transparent wings.
Recently I deleted an entire month's worth of dream.
