Danish Runes in the Pantry

(Wednesday, July 8, 2015)

Not much left of this dream, but it felt very lucid, sensual, real.

I’m in my house, in the kitchen. It has the feeling that I have begun to ascribe to memory. Not dream.

The pantry is a large room with thick blue-green stucco walls to the right of the kitchen. On one of the countertops I find a thin book that is made of parchment-like sheets of wood.

Impressions are left on the wooden surface from a wooden stylus. Layers and layers of scribing. Runes. I know that the language is an early version of Danish.

Day notes:

I checked out four books on runes from the library last week. One was a first edition from 1968 signed by the author. It felt like a treasure. I am interested in runes because I have wondered if the book in my dream “Yoga Couple” might have contained runes, since the writing was illegible. I am hoping to create a small book based on that dream to submit to the Rolduc art show in 2016.
