ouroboros


Last night, I dreamt I was dreaming about having accepted a commission to write a book about dreaming.

I then dreamt that I woke up, realized I'd been dreaming, and told about my dream to an editor (no one I know in real life), who looked skeptical when I suggested that perhaps, after all, I should write a book about dreaming.

Then I woke up and realized I'd been dreaming about dreaming about having to write a book about dreaming, and then dreaming about telling someone about this dream I'd had.

So now I'm telling you.

I feel it's my duty.

How recursive of you!

You're definitely the Zhuang Zi de nos jours.

Guess that explains my butterfly mind.

More of a Klein bottle, in this case, surely?

Well, there was certainly some nacht musing going on.

What the world needs, instantly, is a novel about a classical Chinese philosopher from Aberdeen. Not to mention his girl-child Lo-Chi.

And do feel free to write it!

I wish I had that talent.

There I go again, recursing like a trooper.

I would suggest that you write out your dream in recursive script.
