A
theatrical presentation based upon a recurrent dream
For me it is a type
of alternate reality. I remember events happening in the dream world just as they do
here.
I
get hungry in the dream. I must walk
or take a car to dine out or go to the store for groceries. Also the people
in the dream age. Trees and plants grow. The only tie to this reality in the dream is a little girl that moved in a few doors down maybe five years ago. She showed up at my door and told me she had a tape of my show and asked if I would I like to see it. I sat in my living room in a dream and I watched the tape with her. It had no sound. |
I saw myself on stage with people and I was evidently performing some
sort of prediction experiment. But when it arrived to the point in the tape
where my I asked her "well, did I correctly predict the targets?" And she said, "if you remember." And then I woke up. This
happened several times over the following months. She shared different shows on the
tapes with me and it was usually the same end to the dream. When I
chose to not ask
about the outcome of the performance, I would
not immediately wake up. She would collect her tape from the VCR and say she had to
leave. I would be left alone to consider what I had seen. These were
performances that I did not recall having performed. It was after starting to work on this puzzle
that I would awaken. I started recognizing people at performances that I saw on the tapes. When I would recognize someone I would attempt to duplicate the situation as I had seen before. In some cases things happened just as I had seen unfold in the dream. I now have started to hear from people who say they have the feeling they remember the experiment though they know they have never seen it. It usually happens after participating in the presentation. The archive footage is from the first public performance of this experiment (meant originally for my personal analysis). I decided to turn it into a theatrical documentation. I make the guarantee on the DVD to the audience and extend it to those reading this now. Because of it's length I will not post it online but signed and numbered copies are available. More on that and performance details can be found by following the link below. |
