              WE CAN BREAK THROUGH THE VEIL. AS               
             ALWAYS, IT BEGINS WITH A JOURNAL. WE             
           MUST WRITE DOWN OUR NIGHTLY PROJECTIONS.

            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

            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
