I had a recent dream about creativity (Argy Bargy). Both Victoria’s dream circle and Cullan have (separately) discussed my benefit to focus on the creative at this moment in my life. And Bonnie has posted a new dream about abstract art and playing marbles with me. “Denise puts on her glasses.” Visualization? Reading/writing? The word “marbles” has a list of interesting definitions. In Argy Bargy I am attending plays and in Bonnie’s dream we are playing.
I have been thinking a lot about what creative direction I wish to pursue. Today a detailed email newsletter from Sharon Blackie confirmed my main idea, which is to research my years of dream posts and create inspired short stories. Sharon says fairy tales offer hope and redemption but they don’t shy away from the dark. The wolf is always at the door. I love my black wolf dreams from 2017.
Dreams are like fairy tales, folk tales. I don’t know if I should just write, or if I should include imagery. I can decide that later. I have to start with the stories. Stories is a word that crops up in so many of my house dreams. I watched MN Original last night and was amazed by two of the gifted women artists. They were both far outside of our cultural norms.
I read a nice article in the local paper about Alan Page’s new children’s book. He and his daughter have written five books together.
