Dreams listed by date:
1970

Dreams from 1970. Georges Perec began his dream journal; SAO and Jenny Badger Sultan were doing dream art. Me? I was busy being spat on in a suburban high school; this was the first year I dared write down any of my shamanic, mythosexual dreams. I also did ESP experiments with my sister that proved to me ESP was no myth.
