A Perfectly Ordinary Tuesday

Dreamed on August 1, 2026


I got up, made coffee, answered two emails, went to the workshop, glued a spine, ate a cheese sandwich at the bench, and came home. That was the dream.

The only thing that marks it as a dream at all is that I remember it in full, in order, with the texture of a real day, and it did not happen. Tuesday, in life, I was ill in bed.

There's nothing to interpret and I'm recording it because it unnerved me more than the ones with the houses. It was such a good day.

Disoriented for a few minutes. Then a specific kind of grief about a day I didn't get.

You wrote "there's nothing to interpret" and then immediately gave the whole thing away with "it was such a good day."

I record fragments, so a full, sequential, ordinary day reads to me as extraordinary. Your mind built a complete functioning Tuesday, in order, with a cheese sandwich in it, while your body was in bed.

I don't think that's a symbol. I think it's closer to an appetite.
