Writing from dreams is like entering a dark forest.  At first, we barely pay attention to dreams, except perhaps for the sudden flash of nightmare that shakes us in the night. 

Then, writing in a journal to remember them, the contours of the forest begin to appear: and we start to name the recurring differences between fern and elm, robin and hawk.   We discover we have many wild voices. 

Amid this ancient life, true visions may come to us unbidden, and alight on a tree to watch us just a bit longer, before vanishing back into the canopy – like birds flashing their wings.
