In a New York panorama, I find myself in an ensemble of colleagues, traveling with luggage, navigating various intricate transit maneuvers from place to place in an extended sequence of locations and events. We are thoroughly and energetically taken up with the whole scene. In an interlude, we find ourselves in a jazz club where […]

I’m traveling with an ensemble. It seems we are in Paris, our bookings are nearly complete, and it is time to pack for our next destination, unknown. But we have one more performance. We have been staying in a very old and timeworn multi-story pied–à–terre where we routinely stay and feel at home. There is much […]

I’m in a sturdy old classroom building. All the rooms have been repainted in a refreshing impressionist sort of style. I have gone through the motions of joining a class on cinema theory. Right away it is clear to me that the professor is rather lethargic in his thinking and overall attitude—not very committed. I […]

I’m in flight to Britain, transoceanic, and am settled in for the duration. But then it occurs to me that I do not know where my passport is. I am aware, in the dream, that this has been a recurring nightmare, and it is stunning, in the dream, that I am living out this dream […]

A highly charged, dramatic sequence. Somehow, I have participated very directly in bringing a shadowy man out in the open. He is an insidiously vicious man. Despite all resistance, he has been identified, apprehended. Now I am absolutely certain that I will face retribution for this. The man himself and/or those around him will have […]

This was a lucid, pulse racing dream. It involved people I know, including a close friend whom I haven’t seen in decades, and some family tension. The action picks up in a very sophisticated hotel. I have finished an engagement, a performance of some sort, and am on my way back to my room, and, […]

I am at home in a big city. It feels like New York, with a texturing of Chicago. Riding a bus, I turn to the window and see that a text has been etched, as if by a laser but more primitively, more archaically, into the glass itself. I attempt to read the black text, […]

A visit with Grampaw, at his house—but the whole situation is different from my waking experience with him. In the dream, I am encountering him as never before. He is younger than I remember, but age is not so important. The great difference is that I am seeing him as an actual person, and he […]

A conference in San Francisco has concluded and I am directly thanking and saying goodbye to the folks of the Jean Gebser Society. I next find myself on the street in running clothes—running, running, running through intensely urban areas. At times I am in serious danger from the traffic and the routes I am taking. […]

I have forgotten my lines in a drama that is about to be staged. Sometimes I am confident (but not really) that the lines will come to me naturally once the performance begins. Other times, the details of the drama are so remote that there is zero prospect of my filling my role. There are […]
