Originally written 04.16.2002.
So I’ve decided to start writing my dreams down because I noticed that Patrick keeps track of his dreams on his web journal and I realized that if I find my waking life relevent enough to document, I might as well document my dream life as well, since the two are no doubt more closely intertwined than may seem apparent. My dream accounts are by no means as cool as the dream journals described by one of the characters in Michael Chabon’s excellent The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay, but I hope they’re worthwhile nonetheless.
I’ve found myself dreaming a great deal more since my excursion to London. Perhaps it’s just because I’ve been exhausted ever since and have just been crashing harder. I don’t remember my dream from last night, so I’ll just recount some recent dreams.
A few nights ago, I dreamt that I went home and that I ran into Kerry Tingle, a girl who I went to elementary school and jr. high with. I haven’t seen her in ages, and probably won’t, and I don’t even know if I’ve spelled her name correctly. But in my dream, we just hung out. Really random.
Two nights ago, I had another back home in PA dream. I dreamt that I was driving around Mt. Holly Springs, PA with my mother and brother. I think there was some argument or other point of convention, but I don’t really remember all that part. All that I remember is that Mt. Holly Springs, PA was, as is only possible in dreams, distinctly Mt. Holly, and at the same time, completely not. The dream town was laid out on the reverse axis of it’s real-life counterpart, and the architecture of the town was distincltly similar to Edinburgh. Not only that, but the dream town had somehow gained an archway that was formed by a toppled over, minature, version of the Eifel Tower. I’m sure Freud would have something to say about that imagery. Again, random.
