Dreams and Heroes
The Photo

My dreams have become transparent. I can interpret them even as they're happening, and I speak in them with the same certainty that I have in the dream that is my waking life.

I had a dream night before last in which I was riding a bicycle down several flights of stairs. In the dream, I thought: Well, this is about being depressed and my energy level.
David's Christmas gift to me this year was a beautiful GPS navigation system for the car. The Japanese had one which just made me want to sing.

I had a dream last night in which I was going to a high school prom. My date was a young man (I was also high-school age) with curly hair. His mother was driving us and his sister was in the car. His sister said that I acted white, and, in the dream, I began to explain to her the socioeconomic reality of being a minority in an upper middle class community.
It was a balmy seventeen degrees this morning as we--Kelly, Judi, and I--left Kelly's house. On our walk, we saw Canada geese and cranes. We heard ice breaking up in the ditch, and we threw rocks at the ice like kids.
