"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 eight

which began Monday, obviously, but I've begun loosing track of time, all weekend preoccupied, today preoccupied, with waiting, with having my head screwed back on straight for me. A friend said: at times you build, but then there are the times you are built. Days of forging. It seems the real boredom of intense busyness is that so little shifts into significant form. So little progresses in the force of days. So that a sudden pause seems important, even if it is all this involuntary dreaming, just that. "You think you understand. You don't understand." Leaves in wind and light. I still don't understand light.
