Imagination

“People often relate their dreams to me, as if amazed that they are capable, even in that sub-lucid realm, of conceiving of such nonsensical, even non sequitur, images. The wonder, or empowerment, I hear in their voices is of the creator„cut loose from inhibitions: stimulating themselves. They marvel at their sleeping mindÍs ability to not make sense, and then proceed as if it did. They seem surprised that they can open up reality and tinker with it, maybe even that they are permitted to.”
