Christmas Dream, 2022

In the dream, a female voice announces:

The door is ajar.

I wake and note what the dream voice had said. Looking, I see I have written:

The door is a jar.

This sort of parapraxis on the edge of wakefulness is not unusual for me. Most often, I experience this as a kind of “mind play,” nothing conscious, of course, but something valuable has been “presented” to me.

So, the dream and the written text form a couple, and I must attend both.

I won’t go into what I did, because the main point of this note is to daw your attention to such possible couplings of dream and presentational experience, and to aver there is something vital in this.
