the night of the new year i dreamt of an image i made with two friends in point lobos. in waking.life, we were sitting by the edge of a cliff, watching the sun set and the full moon rise. after making three drawings, we decided to let go of each one in a different way. we put one in a tree for the lucky eye that turned up at the right moment. we gave one to the wind. and the last one we were to write something that we wanted to release/leave in 2017 and then we'd burn it. we never actually wrote our notes and burned it, we just talked about it. later in dream.life, i was back by the water. i had the image. i opened it up and wrote "anger" but first it landed on the page as "ngr" so i added a few letters and it became "angr." i don't know if i then added a "y" to suggest present tense or if i just didn't feel like adding an "e." i don't know if we later burned it in the dream. but this cross between deciding in waking.life and acting in dream.life feels like another type of release. dreams are ephemeral enough to consider it gone.
