Loved the void poem particularly! And the heron pictures are so beautiful! I’m hoping to get a visit from the lady of the lake too when I’m at sea again later next week 🤞🏼

As for the dreaming: I had a dream of Jen’s zine being brought to my door and then things went icky with the mail man 🤣 no idea what happened there in dreamspace lol.

The not remembering places/moments part, yes, I had those too! Both ways even, hmmm… I’ve never been here but why do I recognise things, or have some sort of déjà-vu moments?

I like Jen’s explanation, that’s interesting to know.

Thanks Eva. I'm appreciating the missing memories solidarity 🙏🏼

That heron was utterly magnificent, such a delight to watch. Hope your lady gives you an equally great display!

Hoping also that all post arrives promptly and ick-free! 😳🤞🏼

Its a good test to see if they arrive without the red tape fuckery if you send them like regular mail 🤞🏼😆

I mean the last one I sent to you! 🫤

Went to the post office, sent it regular mail. (I blame Brexit)

I shall try again with this one, and ask if they have anything more regular than regular mail 😂

Wait. To me? Did we have a convo about this? Is this the part I don’t remember stuff? 🤣 when was that? Nothing came in the mail so far 😕

You didn't ask for a rating but 10/10 dream there Jez and kudos for being lucid enough for thinking about currency then carrying on with the dream.

Thank you for the footnotes because you should know by now I would ask 😆 and what a great practice in its-not-poetry-its-a-poem animism exploration.

As for not remembering being somewhere before not experienced it myself but have heard of it from people with fatigue/immune illness. (Lack of remembering due to the signals being sent out from the immune system, long winded but relates to how some/most narcolepsy is immune driven.)

Congratulations on the latest zine can't wait to see it.

Thanks Jen. Appreciating the biology underlying the missing memories of place!

So glad you like the dream, I hoped you might! The previous night was populated by very chaotic dreams, and this one was much more welcome 😁

I'm looking forward to seeing YOUR zine, hopefully in a day or two ✨✨✨

Ooo babes if seeing Nigel Farage is a less chaotic dream I hate to think what you went through the night before 😂

Jez, I love that you have a dream bar that moves around in time! 👍😁

I can’t recall any particular dream place that repeats itself in my dream life, though themes certainly recur. My dreams have been a rich source of discovery and remembering. Some of them have been very healing.

Hi Michelle. Yes, dreams are such a rich source of insight and guidance. I have always dreamed, but for most of my life forgot the majority of them on waking. I've been making practices to remember more, and I'm grateful for that!

I have at least a pub, a meadow and a many-roomed old house that I revisit. I've never been conscious of a time travel element before though! ✨

Loved reading this one Jez. I'm preparing to speak about Psalm 126 and the sower of tears who reaps a harvest of sheaves, a Psalm that begins in a dreamlike state. Interestingly, Rabbi David Fohrman, on the podcast, A Book Like No Other, talks about this Psalm as a description of processing trauma. Thanks again for your craft.

Thank you David 🙏🏼 An interesting insight into that psalm!
