Within

"Não sou nada.
Nunca serei nada.
Não posso querer ser nada.
À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo."
— Fernando Pessoa

I am nothing
I shall never be anything
I cannot wish to be anything.
Aside from that, I hold within me
all the dreams of the world.

Dream #29: I'm sitting on a wooden ledge high up in the mountains. The view is striking. I feel exhilarated and yet paralyzed.

Dream #28: There's a raucous party in my building. Untrustworthy strangers are wandering about. I'm upset. I've just been in an argument. I prod at a loose tooth with my tongue.

I realize that several teeth are loose and beginning to fall out. I can feel (and hear) molars crumbling in the back of my mouth! I retreat to the bathroom, broken teeth in palm, to look up the phone number of a good dentist.

I walk barefoot through soft, uncut grass. I lie down and close my eyes. The sun feels warm on my back.

Wish-fulfillment.

Dream #26: Somehow my eyeshadow palette got smashed and the pigments inside were all loose and broken. I decided to put them to new use as watercolor paints.

Right now I feel neither beautiful nor artistic, but I think it will pass.

Infinite Bliss

Dream #25: Somewhere in Italy. I take a bus to the coast. Great orange rocks tower above.

I wade out into the sea. Sunlight glistens off of the waves. The water is so cool. I am weightless. My spirit is free.

This is my favorite type of dream to have. When I was young I often dreamed about flying. For some reason dreams about swimming have since taken their place.

Sunburn

Dream #24: I had a terrible sunburn. My face and neck were scarlet!

It was a relief to wake up and realize that this wasn't so. Here is an interesting interpretation.
