2003.06.27: Dreams

Alex thinks that it would be fantastic if we could swap dreams as a way of getting to know each other better. I'm not so convinced. I know that my dreams are so surreal as to be incomprehensible even to me, and I'm the one doing the dreaming. When I try to describe them to someone else I just sound like I'm babbling randomly.

Plus, as soon as I wake up, I start forgetting huge chunks of my dreams. Dream journals don't help because I simply cannot write fast enough. It would take two or three pages just to describe a single scene in one of my dreams because everything is so incongruous and random. By the time I've described anything, I've forgotten everything else.

What I really want is some way to record my dreams. Someday that will be possible, right?
