The Unwritten Book

On Sunday I couldn't fall asleep for a long, long time. My dreams were troubled and disturbed, but in a nicely creative sort of way. Simple and efficient designs upon the Universe, schemes of all things were illuminated and soon faded away. I dreamed about a book I fell deeply in love with that I understood didn't exist outside the dream - that I would have to write it if I want to read it again. Is it really important to memorise those things, to practice writing them down after awakening to keep them in conscious memory - or is it another attempt of ever-grasping ego to put its nasty tentacles deeper into the soul, to pull wonderful things and creatures to the surface where they will wither and suffocate?

Alexander - I've had dreams of wonderful stories, fleshed out characters - a few actual musicals!(with songs that were original when I woke and thought)

I think it is important, very important...if you wnat this lovely part of your mind in your waking life. And yet, how rarely I write them down! I don't think it's the ego that dreams this type of dream (that you and I refer to). It's the ego that loses them for me though.
I wake so amazed, and think - somehow this came from my head. And so it begins to crumble. And maybe it didn't. Come from, but thru my head. Gawd I know how farty that sounds, but maybe...
