"And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be? ... You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream! If that there King was to wake you'd go out -- bang! -- just like a candle!"

"Hush! You'll be waking him, I'm afraid, if you make so much noise."

"Well it's no use your talking about waking him when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real."

week nine

And after a bath I put on a movie to quiet my noisy head and spread out on the floor with many pillows and a blanket and fell asleep and woke once when my neighbor rang my doorbell around 7 p.m. to ask about getting wireless in the house and again around 1 a.m. when I remembered to get off the floor and to crawl into bed, and though usually so much sleep would have me up and making tea by 3 in the morning, when the alarm went off at 4, I was in a dream I can't remember now--something anxious but also beautiful--and I hit the snooze and slept through it for another hour. Now there is sweet milky tea and a bit of last morning darkness and a tub of warm water and The Cenci to look at before getting to the office to do many things I ought've taken care of this weekend. Week nine. Now it gets crazy.
