first post. first attempt at recording my dreams from the previous night. i’m not sure when during my sleep-cycle my dreams take place but i’ll assume they happen just before i wake up. not sure what the format will be for this ‘diary’ but i’m certain if i try to create one i’ll end up obsessing about it and then i’ll forget the dream. so i’ll free-flow. i imagine i’ll write in the first person and in the present. i’ll probably come back and edit if i remember more.

the dream: i’m on a solo trip traveling in south america. something about being on a train. something else about camping along the way. somewhere in the mix is my ex-girlfriend, i imagine she’s traveling as well. somewhere else in the mix i walk into a public-ish restroom to find a man in a wheelchair trying to do his business. i excuse myself when i realize his daughter (assumption) is helping him. my first thought is something inappropriate is happening but the daughter and the wheelchair make me think it’s innocent enough. something about an office-mate and his ability to breastfeed.
my thoughts: i’m guessing the wheelchair and the breastfeeding relate to conversations from book club the night before. there was talk of cats and their nipples as well as a couple of male fraternal twins who are homosexual lovers. the book we were discussing was ‘weekends at bellevue’.
