This time of year is heavy on the surreal dreaming...

[msfledermaus]

I always like this time of year for dreaming...it's dark, it's cold, you want to sleep more so you do. I conked out pretty fast last night, and dreamed and dreamed and dreamed...

I dreamed about a big outdoor party at the Island. I kept on having to make cocktails and find extra glasses.

I dreamed I had a baby. A little baby girl with red hair. This one made me kind of sad when I woke up...

I dreamed there was an elderly couple at my kitchen table, eating cereal while I was eating some kind of huge Reeses peanut butter cup. They were babbling away about commercials I'd never heard of, and I was trying to figure out what they were doing there...



At least the party dream was kind of fun, even with me trying to make all those cocktails:)

I love eating cereal, but a huge Reeses peanut butter cup sounds like what's for breakfast, to me.

I think even in the dream I was getting sugared out...

...and the little baby girl turned out to be Leonora Carrington, circa 1922 (I'm not sure if I did the math right). That is sad, but it's still a gift to remember dreams that can only be step-children of reality... I miss you, Maus Lady...

I just checked Wikipedia...she was born in 1917, and still lives in Mexico. She's 91. Holy crap,I'm always so impressed to find out that someone I adore artistically is still hanging in there, still alive and presumably making art...

I have her book The Mexican Years: 194?-1985 on my wish list on Amazon. The price keeps going up since it's out of print (last check: $133!!!).

Glad she's still hanging in there.
