             ALWAYS, IT BEGINS WITH A JOURNAL. WE

            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

             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.

            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
