I HAVE DREAMS
I know they are dreams, yet I see nothing outside of them.
I live in a black hole with no contact with the world. This must be like what it would be to wake
up blind: to open your eyes and expect to see something. You see nothing; everything is inside
your head. You have forgotten what to do to see and try to remember what it is you are not
doing.
There is a light above me that changes. I can see it with my eyes closed. Is this part of the
dream? It’s like looking out from a spaceship to the surface of a planet whose gaseous clouds
swirl slowly, continuously; marbling the surface below.
I see a woman, a beautiful woman. She bears a resemblance to my daughter, but she is not my
daughter.
She is beckoning. I want to follow her. I know that it will be a one-way journey.
I am afraid.
Ever since I can remember, I have been blessed (or cursed) with the ability to imagine objects
and places that I have never seen or visited. When conditions are ideal (I shall explain this later)
a comprehensive image will lodge itself at the centre of my brain’s consciousness: threedimensional, in colour and alive.
Thank you, Owen W Knight and Love Books Group
