Convenience for the Less Conventional

by

This convenience speaks to the lived experience of not being able to conform to someone else’s expectations.

The writer recognizes that some outsiders hold the knowledge that remaining open, watching for possibilities, and having courage and trust are beneficial.

She asserts that these worldviews will lead to an awareness that the self is valuable and that all is well.

Dreams and Personality 2

Sometimes the less conventional cannot conform

and some of those maintain this authority:

seek to allow possibility and be open.

Have courage and trust that

“all manner of things shall be well.” (Julian of Norwich)

A Dream Background of Dun and Grey

by

This convenience writer cautions against the belief that all dreams must be larger-than-life or must meet some particular standard of excitement.

The variety of dreams is as wide and deep as the human spirit. Some seek only serenity.

Some dreams do not look for vivid colouring.

The neutral tints beckon to many imaginations and hearts.

A background of dun and grey may be preferred.

A Theory of Dreaming

by

Here is another academic convenience.

Scholars identify it as such because of its aesthetic style and the choice of colors.

The primary indicator, however, is its emphasis on dream continuity and on the permeability of time.

A Theory of Dreaming

We may conceive of individual dreams which we designate by special names,

but there are echoes heard along the dream spectrum or in a dream collection.

On account of the echoes, it seems impossible to say with certainty

where my great-grandmother’s dreams end and mine commence.

Or where great-grandfather’s nightmares stop and mine begin.

Where shall we find the starting-point for such a standard?

 

Inconvenience: A Dream Does Not Always Come to Bless

by

This particular Inconvenience writer’s work is always based on the 1886 edition of Confessions of an Imp.

Please note the aesthetic of the work. The layout and layering look similar to that in some of the conveniences of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This Inconvenience writer nearly always uses the color blue for background and for lettering, and nearly always treats the source text with some kind of corrosive liquid, giving the paper a flawed appearance.

Some Convenience historians believe the writer to have been a chemist or an artist experienced in manipulating surface appearances.

It has been suggested that the writer’s fondness for blue indicates a childhood spent under wide-open blue skies, or spent near a large blue body of water.

The message of the Inconvenience, encouragement for creating dream agony, appears on a flawed surface: an intentional extra emphasis on the damaging content.

Convenience psychologists believe this emphasis on damage reflects an underlying psychosis in the writer.

I’m unconvinced.

In my scholarly opinion, the choice of a source text with the word Imp in its title reveals a more deliberately playful and harmful intention.

 

A Path o’ Dreams of an Imp #3

A dream does not always come to bless.

I learned to tremble &

I learned wrath in my day dreams and

it has been my fate to serve a wild fury and

to encourage the agony endured during nightmares.
