IN CONTROL, OUTTA CONTROL~ FLYING DREAMS & TWISTERS

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.
