dream - 11o526: rough terrain

Thrasher night.  Kept waking, tossing, turning.  No real specifics or standouts.  There was, however, one bit where I wasn't sleeping & wasn't awake.  Had to adjust my right arm; was afraid I was going to knock Sig with my elbow.  Turn left and close my eyes again.  It's a pretty dark bedroom so even without having light exposure my visual cortex is firing away and I perceive patterns projected over everything-- so close it's like examining cross-stitch, but also akin to an elevation map, as cartographers use.

Ever seen the front covers of Brian Eno's 'Ambient' series, 1-4?  Extremely similar, only instead of close-up ben-day dot moires the imagery is expressed in >~X+|_\=x<s everywhere: ochre, violet, viridian & reds...  The patterns are amorphous, shifting, of no particular consistency.  The vision lasts mere moments, maybe minutes, the dial of my mind turned between stations, then I'm asleep again.
