yes, I started doing it because I never truly forget my old dreams. they always come up randomly, or get mixed with real world facts. but they can go "stale" or get really vague over time. writing them down is really effective against that.
though I don't do it as well as I should. already last week I had 3 dreams, clear enough to write down. but I'm lazy. unfortunately, they've already started to get hazy around the edges.

Looking for comfortable summer reads. Particularly about man in an exotic location (like Fowles' the Magus) or, even better, books about man reconnecting with nature and tending to the earth (Like Hamsun's Growth of the Soil). Are there charts for these?

'' It looks a lot like her actually poems that I've seen, so I assumed it was.''

That's the point lad. It has to be similar enough to her poetry to fool people into thinking it actually is, and then you reveal that it's actually the mocking poems of a bunch of cis white males on a industrial glass cleaning forum.

I thought you were like 20-21. Thanks I don't want to ended like you. No offense though, I just at my age I'm feeling a little bit too miserable and already a failure but I'm 9 years younger than you but reading this makes me want to get out of there. Once again no offense, you seem pretty cool with it and as long as you feel happy do what you enjoy to do.

2 hours daily on public transport and I just read when there's no intimidating people because I'm too anxious and autistic?
And when I do I just read around 30 pages since its quite hard to focus with all the outside noises.

>"Whenever somebody dies, a new star appears in the sky just for them"

Has this been done before in any major western work? I want it to play a significance in my novel, but I don't know if it would be recognized as ripping someone else off.

So I was in this tinychat called 4chanlit

I was meming a bit, they only focused on poetry (I referred it to as pottery). I was asking silly questions like what's the point of poetry if it doesn't give you any definite truths.

I was just analyzing the psychology of that chat room by asking a few inane questions, but then I got banned, even though they don't have any serious discussions in that chatroom anyway. Why are people so lame /lit?

Are they any books that speak about the lameness of human beings? people who take themselves too seriously and try to act like "mature" adults.
