Psychoanalysis time ??? Your dream does have optimism in it and congratulations for keeping the word count down for those of us with a short attention span.
Toooo late to START psychoanalysis. I MAY not be here another 4-7 years. Besides, the nightmares, which I think Dad had & u have, seem to come with the Family & the Tribe.
The dream with M…. and Obama felt cinematic and easy to watch: sorry you’ve been having nightmares!! The reality is that the two wars (in Gaza and in Ukraine) and others (are people still fighting in both Yemen and in the Sudan?) are disturbing everyone’s psyche in the whole world. Not to mention blowing up living beings,of all kinds, and think we human beings need to practice kindness, everywhere, in order to stop the killing and restore everyone’s peace of mind. Thanks for taking the time to write! and agree that shorter is better, at least for now til the collective finds its way to making peace.
No , not because they were too long but was finishing up teaching( small class high school playwrights) so no bandwidth for extra reading. Like your sense of humor moving through your days and Surya’s practical side guiding you!! Love Santa Fe so please keep filling us in. (Your P.O.V. on how things fit together in this world important!)
U get “The First Typo-Caught Award”, which will be given out on August 25th at Paradiso. Anxiety will not be not necessary; you just have to sit there and listen to my Stories, which I promise will sound different than your having read them before here on the stack. Plus There will be an award-winning memoirist guest from LA, and… maybe even some music. Jazzzz. , baby!
I rarely remember my dreams, but once about 10 years ago I woke giggling and could remember the dialog word for word. So I wrote it down in an hour and published it as a children’s book. Nobody cares, but I figured there must be a reason. Thanks for sharing yours.
A very strange thing just happened. I read your post and as I was reading it these strange words popped into my head:
“And right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane, I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread
"I think I love you!"…..
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for…..”
And now I am so mixed up. How can this guy in San Bernadino, Pallo Alto, wherever take me back to The Partridge Family? I have never done anything other than weed, I swear!
Trules Rules!
You take me back, back to a time of innocense… and pepperments and….

Dear Eric,
The dream with M…. and Obama felt cinematic and easy to watch: sorry you’ve been having nightmares!! The reality is that the two wars (in Gaza and in Ukraine) and others (are people still fighting in both Yemen and in the Sudan?) are disturbing everyone’s psyche in the whole world. Not to mention blowing up living beings,of all kinds, and think we human beings need to practice kindness, everywhere, in order to stop the killing and restore everyone’s peace of mind.

Thanks for “watching” my dream, Virginia. Missed you. I guess my 3000 word posts were toooo much. Oy.

Flattery, praise, appreciation, and just your reading my damn stuff, will get you everywhere, Virginia. Thanks.
“ stop what has now has become”
You asked for typos. Do I get a prize?
I’ll likely be in town on the 25 of Aug, but I get anxiety at parties. May you have many more years of dreams and substack posts.

How can I refuse such an honor?

But I digress.
Thanks again for a simply outstanding trip.
I am so glad I found your substack.
