Inconvenience – Poisoning Dreamers #2
Poisoning Dreamers 2
Administer doubts
and increase the familiar to lull suspicion.
The principal effect is a wrong feeling
so the mind’s familiarity may soothe.
Disease-production is apparent soon after infection
and exceptional opportunities
for every variety of greater mischief
become possible after that.

Funnel-Shaped Dreams
Here is another warning about becoming obsessed with a dream.
This writer uses the metaphor of a tornado to tell her readers that an intensely moving dream can easily pull a dreamer into its orbit.
Funnel-Shaped Dreams
During the afternoon of 12 July, 1848
there appeared dreams
resembling whirlpools*
They were not ordinary visions.
The centres of the columns changed
owing to violent writhing.
Only a little song fell from any of them, and still
they pulled in listeners.
*These were nearer than I ever before saw
