    Last night I dreamed I was in a bathroom, not my bathroom, but a dingy bathroom that I seemed familiar with. The tiles were a decay color, tan or brown or gray, I’m not really sure. Something moved under the bathmat, so I moved it with my toe and found a crawdad fighting another crawdad…

    Saturated skies and rain. Now, I’m waiting for my coffee to brew – the sweet grumbling sound like a hungry stomach. I should eat something. The lilacs are fragrant and naked in the yard. I’d cut some to bring in the house, but things die so much more quickly that way and I wouldn’t mind…

    I was in a deep green forest last night. A lush moss-covered island with a house on the tip. Surrounded by a dark creek. A small wooden house or cottage adorned the edge, the island was just big enough to fit it. Pat and I met up with an old friend and her new life…

    Work dreams are uncommon for me and unpleasant and when I have them i feel as if I’ve been working all night. Something was wrong with the press. I had 20 pages to do and it was deadline already. People were breathing down my neck and the cover, that I had already proofed and sent,…

    I woke up scanning the beautiful, haunted images of a friendship lost in a dream. Gray mist and youth. Two girls holding together because they had nothing else to hold on to. I stumbled upon these photographs, set up on a page memorializing the lost time, the lost relationship the regret of letting someone you…

    We got up at 5:45 this morning. The alarm was set, but my internal clock was off. 4 to 4:30 to 5. I didn’t dare check the time, but I could sense through the half sleep, the rotations to my side, to my back that the light wouldn’t break for a while. I kept seeing…

    I had a dream in DC that I was on an island. The sky was moonless, black. It was a sparse island dotted with only a few trees. There was no way of telling how large the land was because I could only see a few feet in front of me, but I got a…

    The other night I had a dream I was back in school. It was a huge, all-encompassing school not broken at all by grades. The building was a warm caramel color, dipped in gold light. I passed the first building which I knew I didn’t belong in. And then I walked into a class I…

    I had a beautiful dream last night. A soft blue-green field. Hills and hills and waves and waves of seaweed grasses of light and breezes strumming through. Miles and miles, there was nothing else but this blue grass water. The light sliced in and out of the clouds. There was a house, habitable, but weary.…

    My eggs hatched. Last night in the middle of a dream. They were cold and I cradled them, blew on them until they were warm. There were 4 white orbs and everything behind my hands was dark. One by one, I brought them back, but still you never know if the things you care for…
