1. What don‘t I daydream about?! 😂 travel, conversations, jobs, fictional worlds, places I‘d rather be at that moment, places to live, dream house, romance, forests, oceans, adventures, story ideas, memories, song lyrics — my brain is strange & mysterious and usually always somewhere else.
2. All of them.
so-soI love Roz Chast and her off-the-wall humorous New Yorker cartoons. This collection was just okay for me, mostly because I‘m not particularly fond of listening to descriptions of dreams. But some funny ones for sure.
pickFinally, after a failed start on this tome back in 2012, I started over eleven years later and finished it. Jensen, if you don‘t know him, is a prolific writer whose work typically concentrates on the rampant destruction which industrial civilization inflicts on us and the planet. This particular book is a little off beat in that he explores dreams and those who may be working and informing us “from other sides.” Not his best, but decent.
pickI love Roz Chast‘s cartoons and this collection, on the theme of dreams, gave me some chuckles, but it‘s rather slight as far as content goes. It did make me want to revisit my own dream journals. I‘m glad I borrowed this from the library rather than buying it. #Comics
Dreams come out of my brain. As I sleep, I am creating them. So why, as they unfold, am I always so surprised?!??
