RE: Dreaming and Stream of Consciousness Writing
You can get the idea that what you write is what makes the writer. What happens outside of thought, how people move in the world alive, is difficult to grasp here. The many small steps and activities, the laughter and the ease to take for granted, even if the words sound melancholic and the dreams bizarre, are reasonable.
The mood your texts create carries your own handwriting and sometimes I don't even understand the context or the sequence of thoughts. But there is still a kind of understanding and resonance.
I will try to see if I can dream again.
Feel just like you when it comes to starting school. The rhythm is not yet oiled again. It takes a bit to say goodbye to the summer.
I do think there is much to dreaming and there are times mine seem very clear and other times in which I am baffled. But, I do find if I write them down and return to them many of the meanings become very clear--that's one benefit of keeping a journal.
I've heard that about my poetry (specifically)--that the listener isn't so sure what I am saying, but that they go someplace with it emotionally. I consider myself a word artist in a sense--like a surrealist painter and many times layer several strands through one piece. So, I am happy to hear when someone feels some emotional response even if they can't quite put their finger on it.
Guess swirl shows up here too in my attempt at explanation of the process ;)
Yes, it does take awhile to get into that rhythm and as soon as there is no school I easily slip back into the later hours.
Thank you so much for reading and responding!
Much better than to be angry about myself having not understood and then taking up my anger towards you and demand a clear explanation. LOL.
It doesn't matter in which realm this happens. To live up an uncertainty and get along with it is what makes life tasty, if you ask me. We don't know and experience things for sure and in absoluteness. There is always a little uncertainty involved.
Art is full of it and poetry and composing words is an art.
Thank you :) Your response makes me smile :)
Funny how upset others can get when they don't understand--maybe, I kind of paranoia (we all have it, wanting to know and be in control)?
Life ought to include play, and childlike magic like the street performers you attended and shared here on steemit.
