Haibun



DREAMS

Often the same dream, unfolding contradictions.  In college, missing classes, wanting a car; out of college, no job, driving to class; graduating, quitting before the last year, late for class; riding the bus, walking fast, reading the want ads; feeling guilty , making plans for tomorrow, giving in to inertia and confusion.

not understanding
their anger or mine

This really resonates with me, Adelaide. Beautifully expressed, that mercurial human essence. Solid one day, in bardo the next. And knowing we are dreaming it.

Dreams are always a mystery. Some I recognize as a distortion of what really happened, others as fears of what I worried about, some I I have no clue at all, and I doubt that even Freud could have understood them.

Thanks for commenting.

Double exposures create interesting images, I think. Thanks for commenting and for your haiku.
