I liked this one. The title suggested dreams and I was not disappointed. “When our conscious sinks and our subconscious emerges, we can only witness what the mind truly has to offer in the night.” I am interested in dream interpretation so what was on offer was appealing.
The design is simple and straightforward – a blog*spot template. The look is okay and easy to read. There is a left hand side panel with links to other blogs and blog related sites. There are links to dream related sites and the perfunctory previous posts and archives. There is a link to site statistics. Some of the links open in a new window; some don’t.
The site has been in operation since May 12th 2004. It is operated by two women. Jen and Karen who contribute postings. Jen more frequently at a 2:1 ratio. Jen is 28 and a student. Karen’s profile is not public.
There is a comments facility in which Karen and Jen occasionally comment on each other’s posts. There is a small amount of other use.
Now to the content – dreams. What I like here is that neither Jen nor Karen tries to analyse their dreams. What we get is pure dream narrative. Both write well and provide descriptive dream sequences. The pair only post when they dream. I like this discipline and for the first time appreciated the space between posts. This lent an air of authenticity. I intuit that both dreamers “lie and dream things (and relate things) true” to paraphrase the quilled one.
I read through all the posts and managed to maintain my interest. There a couple of posts which deal with the mechanics of dreaming and blogging. For instance how to remember – “Whenever I awaken from a dream, I try to write down the key elements, things, feelings, sensations, etc. before the dream slips away from my conscious memory.”
I can’t remember any dreams but will be trying to when I wake tomorrow. Perhaps I’ll be haunted by Zaque? He, he.
I liked this web log which has a nice unpretentious feel to it. It made me laugh on one occasion too. Meow Hitler! I will be popping back and hopefully may contribute a dream or two. A well deserved three and a half out of five.Nocturnal Elucidations
