Splendid dream indeed, and a wonderful dream-telling too -- I love how you grapple with the gaps and the distances between your waking and dreaming (un)certainties. I'm with Nine and Rachel and would love to read (and see!) more -- I imagined a children's book with elaborate illustrations spilling across page spread after page spread, interwoven with your words. If you were to tackle it, trusting that plot shortcomings would transform themselves into longgoings, I suspect it would work itself out. I am slowly writing a series of dream images into a tale, or vice versa, and have many of the same uncertainties about my ability to make it work -- but I'm pushing on anyway. Long may you dream, and tell of it, which I think is how dream tricks the waking world into continuing its unfolding!
