I don't write about my dreams much anymore. Frankly, after I began..well...the new drugs, back in 2010, things got better. Dreamsickness became almost a phenomenon of the past. But Lamictal can cause vivid dreams, and when I have to increase my dose - as I have to do every now and then - I get vivid dreams. Crazy vivid, like the old days. Dreams

the work only exists once it has been perceived

Is this some kind of "If a tree falls in the forest..." sort of thing?

The work gets perceived before the reader sees it: the artist has to handle it first, in the act of creating it. It doesn't just pop out of nowhere or get created in a vacuum. Good grief, these people are as bad as the idiot customers at the grocery store where I work, who seem to think that milk grows in bottles.

Sorry for the fury: I just get tired of this self-centered attitude from people who seem to think the universe revolves around them.

Pretty much. And, of course, that proverbial tree does produce sound waves, even if they are not perceived.

Bingo!

Gonna laugh about this all day...

Entitlement. It's pretty much like we've gone pre-Galileo.

Carolina Chocolate Drops played here a few weeks ago and due to not feeling well, I missed the show. Wah. Still love the music.

That's a shame.

I know. Stupid frigging fatigue. I missed Roseanne Cash too.

a fantastic palace of blood-colored marble

We all know what happens when we go into those subterranian places that arent quite human...

I think I would be skipping down the center, going "honey, I'm HOOOOMMMMEEEE" ..

But, thing is, the palace was very much a human construction.

And here my last dream (that I can recall) was being assaulted by a movie monster with serrated jigsaw blades for fingers. There was more to it than that, but that was the memorable part.

Can we trade?

[stsisyphus]

I suppose; but you'll have to start running dogs.

[greygirlbeast]

Um. Hm.

[greygirlbeast]

You're welcome.
