If only I could remember my dreams. I wonder what they would show me.

Delightful. Read the whole dream sequence. And I’d go away wondering what happens next to the protagonist and Jack. Why did he cry? Why did the protagonist keep dreaming about him? What does it all mean?

Very realistic dream – arbitrary, jarring, disjointed.

Thank you so much Jena. This is a part of my NaNo experience and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Now I have to re- read and see if there is something else worthy of sharing.

wow , Anne, I so like this…is this your novel at NaNo. I’m a sucker for first person narratives. This is how I would like to write…yeah , I did write in the first person with most of my stories. But for the Nano, I had to write in the third.

Next chapter please…

I don’t want to give you my dream interpretation here because it’s likely to be personal, and I don’t want to embarrass you. (See? I do use good judgment sometimes.) Not bad, just personal.

Thank you, Heather.

I’m trying to explore some of my more repressed thoughts here. And now I’m wondering what my subconscious is trying to tell me. I was thinking one thing, but after reading your comment and thinking about what I wrote I get a completely different take. Wow! Maybe there is something to that stream of consciousness thing after all.

That is so nice, Anne. Completely drew me in. I could also feel myself inside that cabin, snuggling up in that afghan, feeling the homeyness. I could interpret this “dream”, but I don’t think I’m supposed to do that here so I won’t. I just enjoyed the read.

This writing also reminds me of the writing exercises I would do. I miss them and want to get back to doing them. You never know where they will lead, or what secrets the imagery will reveal.
