Yesterday~ I posted a picture of myself from the
late 80's, working on the under-coating of a large
canvas painting. Sadly, that painting does not exist
anymore; it was just too big and not-so-great enough
to lug around Planet Earth during a decade's worth
of being a traveling Tramp. For the longest time, I
thought the only remnant left of that bygone dream,
was the Drawing-Over-An-Enlarged-Photocopy-Of-A-
3X5-Photo of the original piece.... This Dream Image
was important to me at the time, for it represented
several years worth of 'training', or, focusing energy
on the dream-scape to the point where I finally had
a LUCID dream. Not only was it lucid, but it may
actually have been an Out-Of-Body experience !
You see, there was an actual blizzard occurring at
the time of my nap, and in the dream I observed
a conversation between my friend Erik & Tory,
who had only met once or twice before and who
attended different Art Schools. They met on the
corner of a large construction sight in Philly,
where now stands the Philadelphia Convention
Center. Later, Erik (my roommate) described
meeting Tory at that location right around the
time that I was sleeping~! Sometimes, this
bizarre universe we live in lines up all kinds
of ducks in a row. Even if it wasn't an OOBE,
it is a mathematical anomaly that certainly
gives one pause, and makes one HUMBLE,
more aware of the unfathomable wonder
of things beyond our ability to comprehend.
Recently, I found a SLIDE PHOTO of that
ol' painting (4ft X 4ft), and used an HQ scanner
to jack it up to the level of my soaring confidence
from around that time period . Ive included other
DREAM IMAGES below, that represent a more
unconscious, fear-based form of feeling. Twisters
that whip us around~ totally out of control~ like~
Mother Nature planted a seed inside us~ then
pushed a button~ fueling all our anxieties with
a wake-up call~ or WWF style smack-down.
