I dream a lot. I've always been a dynamic dreamer during sleep. In my younger years through my late 20's dreams were a great source of inspiration. Whether they were fantastic adventures, sexual, surreal, funny or confusing (plus the occasional nightmare); I always woke up restfully interested in decoding them. Also in my late 20's many symbols in dreams became source material for my art work. Hey, free ideas, can't beat that! However, the stress of adult life has infultrated my abilty to relax and enjoy dreaming the good stuff. I get caught in cycles, circumstantial and visual problems that cannot be solved without me waking up frustrated and exhausted. To put is simply, I wake up exausted from dreaming. An interesting side note to my sleep patterns is that I've never had a girlfriend who dreams much during sleep. I wake up like I've just watched six movies in a row and she wakes up like magic valuum has just instantly worn off. Such a strange contrast, we are from differenet worlds. During sleep she becomes blank, I become mentally animated. I want to be blank!
Any suggestions?

my suggestion is to stop painting and thinking artistically. get a 9-5 job where you simply file stuff and look busy, then get fired from that job so that you can collect unemployment until you find your next boring office job.
Somehow I think my life is already like that living in New York.... without the unemployment check.
I've never been "let go" at a job. I should use that card before it's too late and all our social security/tax money goes towards war and people who have 8 kids.
o.k. I'll start now: Aaron... productivity is down and loafing is way, way up... we're gonna have to let you go, you're fired!
Now I'm off to collect my employment check and get those low cost, life saving doctors visits I've always wanted.
Or just watch a lot of Fellini with the heaviest dose of chamomile after some Thai food.
I dream a lot and it energizes me.
You need to be more positive.
COME ON AARON!
oh, photo of you up somewhere on my dot com.
