why only in dreams? that was the question which blocked all progress. every solution which could reduce time to something wholly present ruled that the pre-images should be just as observable when one was awake as they were when one slept. ~So why only in dreams?
A little consideration suggested the simplest way to set about a waking experiment would be to take a book which one intended to read within the next few minutes, think determindly of the title - so as to begin with an idea which should have associational links with whatever one might come upon in that future reading - and then wait for odds and ends of images to come into the mind by simple assocation.
The first experiment was a gorgeous success - until i discovered i had read the book before.

Holy FUCK! I've finally figured it out! I must have clicked this page a million times. Something looked familiar, but what????

In 2003 I visited the Douglas Hyde Gallery in Dublin, Ireland and saw the showing "Spiritus." Here's a back issue review of the show.

http://www.recirca.com/backissues/c105/spiritus.shtml. 3rd paragraph down talks about the photos you posted. Weird! Are you sure you can't read my mind? Feels like someone is picking my brain.
