with maturity comes responsibility

Last night, I had one of the most elaborate and telling and involved dreams that I've ever had, at least in a very long time. I think it's been years since I've had a dream that was so layered and textured. The imagery was beautiful, quite memorable, extremely fantastic. . .and I"m trying to burn it onto my memory, because the storyline was absurd, but also very interesting. I'm pretty sure I can use many elements from the dream from a future storyline.

The events of a dream also acted as a mirror in which to see myself and my current desires. I got something I'd been longing for a long time, but after I received it, I realized the price is too high. I would lose a friend and gain nothing of permanence.

All I have are the memories now. They could be all I need to get over what I've been feeling for so long. It would be great if that turns out to be so. Only I can make it so.

I'm thinking of submitting this image to a photography show at Satori Sound and Coffeehouse:



The theme is "Illuminations", and I think this image fits the bill. I'll have to have it printed and framed by next Tuesday, though. The entry fee is $10 and you can submit up to two pieces. I can probably only afford to get one thing framed, though. I had no idea frames were so expensive until I started thinking about submitting things to art shows.
