While dreaming
his creature dreams he tries to tell me of their landscapes. He dreams
of unity, of a solid One: indivisible and sure. His attempt at describing
what he saw becomes more and more strained until he cannot be sure that this
was in fact what he dreamed…when do his desires begin to dictate the
details of the dream? These dreams become his history: unfathomable,
and therefore, impossible to refute. What came before the
sleep that birthed the dream he never spoke to me of. This time seems
a mystery. This time is what I am most curious about. The dream
has become a confusion, no longer offering insight into a single person, only
a labyrinth of desire and self-referential fantasy. More of the dream
has been forgotten than recalled. A voice inside him dictates details
and greater, more intricate details, further obscuring the time before he
slept.
