Three Different Ways:
Dreams, Madness, and Myths

Prose: Full Moon in Pisces, a fading photo
I followed the footsteps of the camels. Trod carefully in the midst of nowhere. She walked beside. I held her harp stringed with arrows. Her language was without vain intellect. Her words watered within. She led me away from the midnight river. Twixt the towers, the mountains, and the dogs. The jackal watched with approval.…

Dream: "Clean your House"
I walk softly down the stone corridor. My sandals making delicate swishes with each step. I am walking forward in confidence, as I should. I am Queen here. You would not know from my dress however. I wore a shift of light and delicate linen. The cloth is pleated and moves with me. A simple…

Dream: Some Vacation!
My best friend has decided I need a vacation. He has, by some way, removed me from the dull urban sprawl I call home and taken me to the midlands of America. We are hanging out with some several times removed cousins of his, at a farm. It’s harvest day. I am being taught how…

Vision: Supplication
A recurring vision: I see myself before me. She (for my point of view is not at my vision-self) is facing away from me (my point of view). I’m behind her, a few feet, off to the right. She is usually dressed in whatever clothing I was dressed in before the vision overtakes me. She…

Dream: In Passing
He blocked the narrow bridge at the height of the arc. The bridge is as wide as his shoulders. The crevasse below as deep as his eyes. I had no other means of reaching my destination. I had to get past him. I had allowed the horse to choose his own path. Not familiar with…

Dream: Following Orders (explicit)
If you were wondering why I labeled this blog as “adult” in nature… keep reading. About the “explicit” tag. I dream fucked up things. In one dream I killed my parents with a silver sword. (They had become vampires!) I don’t censor my dream writeups. This particular dream deals with murder and small children. It…

Dream: Brew & Stones
It’s a lovely summer day. That lazy moment between morning and high day. The river burbles at me, gossiping of all the fish I’m supposed to be catching. The hook was set, the line was cast, and the pole is wedged between rocks along the bank. The bait was nibbled off long ago. I’m too…

Dream: Beer & Bikers
Movement. Strange colors approach and quickly pass to fade behind me. Vibration. Loudly felt and loudly heard. Am I asleep? A sharp discordant sound wakes me fully and I swerve quickly into the empty neighboring lane. Bah! I was falling asleep on my motorbike! Above me the stars twinkled in gossip. On my right, the…

A Memorial Day Telling
Once upon a time, I was an Army servicewoman. I had enlisted shortly before Persian Gulf Conflict #1, but as a female, it was a certainty that I would never see “action”. During the midst of the troubles, I had managed to score some leave time and flew home to see my parents. I packed…

Dream: The Wheel
Think of the Fortune card from the Thoth tarot. See the wheel? See the triangle behind it? See the vivid blue of the card’s background? My first awareness is movement. I am moving consistently forward and consistently moving to the right. I open my eyes, and see I am sitting on the hub of a…
