A Breath of Fresh Air: What Dreams May Come?

From a Fresh Air Interview today:

Terry Gross: {Avatar is so dreamlike} do you have an "active dream life?"
James Cameron: Yeah, a lot of Avatar came from dreams I've had.

His tone of voice was what got me - I used to dream vividly, and often, sometimes lucidly.

I have, up until recently (and I mean like, the last few weeks), lost almost all of my ability to dream coherently, almost to a point of not dreaming at all  - since I've been coming out of my Long Funk and started practicing, and dreaming again, I notice how much I've been missing in my dream life which surely is a bridge to creative living.

JC sounded emotionally grateful, mortified at the possibility that he would not have a dream life, and gracefully suprised at the question - I hope he gave Terry a hug and a kiss after that one :)

I'm glad I hard this today because, it increases the amount of hope I feel as I move along...

today ...

I had the day off so, I got coffee & fish and chips, packed a box to ship to All My Aweome Children, watched women walk down the street while I sat and smoked on the front porch, watched a lecture section on some famouse historical geometric proofs, baked a little, worked on my meme, wrote a song about being lonely and free and sad and hopeful - and the day is only half over

I think about love
and I shrug about sex
and I sometimes wonder if the world has any use
for me anymore
and I feel like a closing door

I used to dream about
the way life could be
and worried over details
about what should be
going on
I just wanted to go home

Today, I found a little trulth
in myself concerning
my attitude towards
the inner yearnings
that I feel
all I want is something real

Reality is feeling
cool and fuzzy
and I like to think the universe
really does love me
and somewhere I'll find
someone of like mind

Just a cloudy winter day
maybe sun, tomorrow
or maybe, suddenly
change will follow
maybe Zen
I choose to choose again
