Dreamland
I had a wild set of dreams last night. I think I was in super charged creative mode. Yesterday was spent at The Art Store and American Science and Surplus buying components for my ink project and to make the tileset for Vampire Glyphs. I was stoked because at the Art Store I picked up a book that describes exactly how to do what I want done. I worked on it last night but I still need a few tools to work with the polymer clay. My first attempts at making the templates weren't very good. I read the book and saw my process was flawed. I have to create the templates on the surface the clay will be baked, the process of moving the clay distorts the small grooves too much.

It is exciting, though because I am so close to having one completed copy of the book and tile set. I have to write three appendices, make the illustration and do the lay out and the book will be done. Therese is going to bind two or three for me but I think I'm just going to have Kinko's or Alphagraphics print and staple bind them for me.

For the ink project, I already got one order. When I tell people about it, they think it is really interesting and it will be a fascinating curiousity to own. Starting off, I'm only going to sell sets: 3 inks, 5 pieces of special paper, and 1 quill. I got the bottles which will hold 1 fl. oz. I'm not quite sure what I will do for the paper, I may just end up buying large parchment and chopping it up.

The dreams stemmed from all this energy. The most memorable of the dreams was one in which I was lucid. It is rare that that happens, but it is really cool. Unfortunately, as with most lucid dreams I have, I am never sure if it is really a dream. Everyone I knew was in my apartment, but my apartment was spread out over three floors. This was my first clue something was not right, and I spent a good amount of time trying to get my mind to get the apartment to match reality. My friend Pete wouldn't believe me that this was a dream even though I had him read four phone numbers from the phone book and tell me what the first number he read was. People from work were in the dream. I tested out the 'control' I had on one of the women. Nothing sexual, but an attempt to see how far my control extended. I was stymied by my doubt that this was a dream so I didn't want to do anything that would have a negative repurcussion on my life. I struggled through this dreamworld, but was energized by it.

I had many other dreams but that was the most rich in detail. I haven't been remembering my dreams lately, so this was very exciting to me.
