THE     SUBTLE     REBELLION      
                                        
                    
                                        
 AS  A  MONKEY  BASED  MAMMAL THERE IS AN 
 INHERITED  VEIL,  NESTED  INTO  OUR VERY 
 BODIES, INTO THE  PHYSICAL STRUCTURE  OF 
 OUR    MIND:   THE   URGE   TO   FORGET. 
                                        
                                        
 THE  JUNGLE  WE  VISIT  EACH  NIGHT   IS 
 CLEARED FROM  OUR  MINDS  EYE  AT  EVERY 
 WAKING  HOUR, NO DOUBT TO  "PROTECT US". 
                                        
                                        
 WE    DON'T    WANT   THIS   PROTECTION! 
                                        
 WE WANT  TO  LISTEN  TO THE SIGNAL,  NOT 
 THE     CARRIER    OF    WAKING    LIFE! 
                                        
                                        
 IT'S   TIME   TO   REBEL  AGAINST   THIS 
 PREDESTINATION  OF OURS.  IT'S  TIME  TO 
 SOAK  IN THE DREAMY  WATER,  AND  WHAT'S 
 MORE,        TO        RETAIN        IT! 
                                        
  
                                          
                                          
                                          
        CHIPPING AWAY THE DARKNESS        
                
                                          
     WE CAN BREAK THROUGH THE VEIL. AS    
   ALWAYS, IT BEGINS WITH A JOURNAL. WE   
 MUST WRITE DOWN OUR NIGHTLY PROJECTIONS. 
                                          
 THIS WILL BE AWKWARD AT FIRST, SINCE IT  
    ENTAILS BREAKING SLEEP - TURNING ON   
  LIGHTS IN THE DARK, TAKING THE TIME TO  
          REMEMBER AND TO WRITE.          
                                          
  IN ORDER TO REMEMBER, LIE STILL. DON'T  
    MOVE. DISREGARD ALL THOUGHTS OF THE   
    DREAM BEING MUNDANE OR MEANINGLESS.   
                                          
  KEEP CHIPPING AWAY THE DARKNESS: WHAT   
   HAPPENED? HOW? HOW DID I GET THERE?    
   WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE? AND BEFORE? AND  
                 BEFORE?                  
                                          
   SOMETIMES ALL WE GET IS A FEELING, OR  
  SOME LINGERING SPACIAL AWARNESS OF AN   
    ALIEN PLACE, OR THE NOTION THAT IT    
             RAINED JUST NOW.             
                                          
   WRITE IT DOWN. WHATEVER TINY THING.    
                                          
                                          
                                          
          NOTE ON TAPE RECORDERS          
                    
                                          
  OF COURSE I TRIED TAPE RECORDERS. THEY  
  ARE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AS I NEED NOT 
   OPEN ANY EYES, OR MOVE VERY MUCH. BUT  
  THEY MAKE STUDYING HARD - THE DREAM IS  
     INSIDE THERE, HIDDEN AWAY AGAIN.     
                                          
 WE JUST CHANGE ONE KIND OF INVISIBILITY  
  FOR ANOTHER. THE PURPOSE OF THE BOOK IS 
              TO LAY BARE.
