It's interesting to see how writers incorporate dreams into their work or are inspired by them. Even more interesting, I think, is seeing the dreams themselves. Kerouac's "Book of Dreams" is a wild, enchanting ride through his nightscapes, some of his best writing. Do you know of any other writers (or any other ANYTHINGS) who have kept really good published dream journals. I'm busy creating a theater of dreams up in Boston, and am always looking for good dream fodder. And by the way, dream journals (your own or other folks') show how dreams link up in a non-narrative fashion. Everyone has images that repeat and morph in their dreams over time. The morphing often is in some form of relationship to what's going on in so-called "real" life. By following the dream series, a collage like shape emerges that shows the development of your image life, the language of your image-ination. If you, or any of your blogger folk, know of any good dream series, I'd love to know about them. Jon<br /> </p> Thanks for dream thoughts.
