dreaming our dreaming selves.

[subjective]

i just finished reading for monday seminar, creepy stuff about brains split in two to "cure" epilepsy & whether that means these people have two selves, two minds, etc. trying to figure out what my final project for this class will look like-- i am thinking of something about names & trans identities & "deaths" of identities/selves in terms of transition. not sure yet how i'd tie it all together.

today i fell asleep reading raymond williams & napped for an hour, during which i dreamt constantly but knew i was dreaming. i kept opening my eyes, aware of doing it, but still seeing the dream rather than my room or anything. SO FUCKING COOL.

i did not clean house today so must do that & finish williams tomorrow. tonight i will finish three articles on body image & wash the dishes.

Do they connect it at all to multiple personality stuff (where people's brains aren't even in pieces)?
have they asked the people whose brains were split into whether they had two selves or not? :)

i am so sorry i just saw these comments. i used to live in the boston area but yes now live in northern california. still getting used to the relative absence of seasons.

my zine is theoretically for sale but i'm currently out of copies. i might have time to make more over this holiday weekend, but it depends on how quickly i can finish grading papers. you could check moonrocket (http://www.moonrocket.co.nz) or operation kitty kitty (http://www.operationkittykitty.com) if you want to order it from a distro in the meantime.
