This entry and all others from 1996-97 are part of my dream project which extended from August 1996-97. I kept track of my dreams for an entire year by recording them to audiocassette and illustrating what parts I could in composition books. I ended up with over 70 ninety-minute cassettes and four composition books detailing my dreams.
The written transcription is from a much later date than 1996-97 but is almost word-for-word, with some slight corrections and omissions. This typed transcription is not 100% faithful to the original verbal account, as it allows for slight modifications, additions, omissions, and corrections. There are new separations between paragraphs and dreams are separated into different entries at approximately the right places. In addition, segments of dreams MAY be transposed/moved/added to other sections as I see fit. Aside from these modifications, these dreams are detailed exactly as I had them over six years ago.
If they were not the same dream, this may have then shifted out of "The Hand Of Glory."
I think sometime I looked at the TV and the Olympics were on. I was thinking of my character Ozzy Lewis, and I was wondering what kind of sports he could play. I knew that he could play hockey and soccer and that he could run and swim well; now I wondered specifically if he could pole-vault, and I then imagined him doing so. In this dream I was making a dream list, like I really made in real life for the first time, and it was long, covering two sides of the paper. I was looking for another piece of paper to continue it on.
