Sleep & Dreams

infinite jest

This is the premise of Finnegans Wake; the 'night' to Ulysses' 'day', as it were.

I won't understand a lick of it though, whereas my dreams last night had clear narratives.

Any other suggestions?

The Castle by Kafka.

recently i dreamed that some 80s looking cyberpunks called up my house and demanded a ransom for some man. i told them they had the wrong number and that i would call the police. they kept calling me back, telling me they were going to cut him up into a million pieces if i didn't give them money. then all the screens in my apartment switched to some static image of a pink pentagon and two blue triangles.

i went to the police station scared shitless and told them what happened and they laughed it off like movie cops do. only one person paid me any attention but he just told me there was nothing they could do without substantive evidence.

so i left the station and got on the train to go home. as i was walking to find my seat i saw a woman with earrings that looked exactly like the symbols i had seen at home. the train took off and i was panicking, trying to dial the officer i had just left but i couldn't remember the number. then the train derailed.

i was lying down in the wreck, the only survivor, when the two cyberpunk people came up to me and told me i could have prevented all those deaths if i had just given them what they wanted.

i got up and started walking back the station when i ran into the officer about halfway. he grabbed my collar and started shaking me, asking me where they had gone, the people who derailed the train. i told him i didn't know but that they gave me a box, and handed it to him. he opened it and inside were two eyes, each one a different color.

then i woke up.

Finnegans Wake is an obvious answer, but I recommend Phantastes by George MacDonald.

Nice dream.

You guys have trisomy 21, I fucking swear.

Nice.

Now imagine going to bed when you're 11 years old and your dream is that you undress and a big dude in underwear makes you take his underwear off and suck him off. Then you ride on his dick and wake up.

Years before I realized my orientation too. Dreams are cool as fuck.

it's been awhile, though i recall andrei bely's petersburg touching upon the subject with great perception. if i'm not mistaken, it was regarding the priest's "second self". worth a read all the same.

invisible cities - calvino

I recommend any Calvino for this. Surreal and playful. A little meta at times (like all good dreams are).
