Saturday Memory
October 11, 2025

My recent acupuncture vision has become something of am earworm. I keep hearing Orogine say that surface dreams can be assembled quickly, but deep dreams can take much longer to assemble. This idea of “assembling” a dream is not something I have ever thought. When I ask who was doing the assembling, she told me that it was not something for me to know. She had told me also that the “new” form of writing I was sensing, but not yet experiencing, would become known in dreams. Saturday, I had a dream that was the first to have any relation to writing since the vision on Wednesday. This dream contained two lines, which I both heard and saw on paper in the dream. On Sunday, I wrote out the two lines and then completed what seemed to be a nonsensical poem. Here is the poem:

Winston

May I call you Winston
That’s not my name
I did ask politely
No matter
That’s it then
Call me Clyde
That your name
No
Why Clyde
Sounds better
Not to me
I’ve better ears
Quite a claim
Easy
Your point
None
Done
Yes

One thing that I often experience is that when something “punctures” my consciousness (like assembling a dream), I will experience this idea occurring in various ways. It feels something like a synchronicity. For example, shortly after wiring about dream assembly, in a news story about Laszlo Krasznhorkai winning the Nobel Price in Literature, I find  a quote from him: he says: “wait, wait for the truth to assemble itself, as it might at any moment.”

As always, comments and questions are always appreciated.
