Lately, I’ve been falling into deep dream-sleeps more immediately. I lie myself down, close my eyes, and voila, I’m in a vivid dream… It seems strange and amazing. No warm up, no slow dozing into it… it just… starts… like I’m sitting down in the middle of a movie, and clicking the “UN-pause” button to re-start….

In the backseat of the car, in the cafe, in the hotel lobby… anywhere, and around anyone…

Near the end of our late-night dinner in the desert, we were laying around the table on pillows, great adventures and stories were being told (in French), I barely closed my eyes, and, boom, I started right in on a dream… a few minutes later (or longer maybe?) I could faintly hear, “Michael… Michael… have some dessert…” and I was yanked back out into the real world again….

I wish I could harness this and control it… and do it with my eyes completely open… dream in front of people while appearing to be wide awake… that would really be something…
