Dream Sketches part 3

Here's another installment of dream sketches. I'm open to drawing other's dreams. So please send me your dream if you want to see my take on it.

Special cars from a bygone era have sport convertible

coup look with pop-top camper compartment by the passenger seat.

Yoshiko and I are looking for more of the classic cars.

We are driving by a series of wooden homes in San Francisco.

The last home in this series has a sloping front green with a beautiful tall wooden shed and a

covered bench perched behind a huge redwood log section.

We continued to the end of this home’s property.

We stopped because there is a gift shop.

We are hoping to gain insight about this interesting home by investigating the gift shop.














During my dream I have a lucid dream.

I’m aware, flying, letting go and soaring into space.

I return to the dream.

Sitting across from me on the floor is the Thompson twins.

It the same pop music band, the Thompson twins, from the 1980’s

However now they are actual twins.

Two girls who are Gothic style

Their music is very experimental now.

Canadian Farmer demands I replace cheap plastic cup

I had used the cup but it belonged to the farmer

It had been damaged before I used it.

It was unfair to ask for a replacement.

Path on a ridge that surrounds a valley

The ridge path will take me where I wish to go

However I take a path down into the valley that connects to other paths that may work as an alternative route

Beautiful Canada

To Hokkaido in Summer















We went to Hokkaido to get away from the heat.
It's the northern island of Japan that has vast wilderness areas and stays relatively cool in the Summer. We choose the area of Kushiro to retreat from the crushing humidity stew of Tokyo.
Kushiro has a huge wetland area where we saw lots of wildlife including Northern Fox and the large Japanese crane called a Toncho. The culture up there is primarily farming and fishing as well as making sea weed to eat. The train rides were lovely through vast stretches of forest. We traveled north to an area that looked like the Marin headlands with a cool fog blowing through. We treated ourselves to outdoor bar b q with all sorts of goodies from the sea. After five days of cooling down we got back on the plane and flew back to Tokyo where I promptly got heat rash.

Photos of Chichibu




From August 12th
Hiking with Yoshiko on our fourteenth wedding anniversary.
We started under warm humid cloudy skies.
The stairway descending from the train station looked like an optical illusion.
We walked up through a small beautiful neighborhood. I clicked some photos.
Then we entered a dense green forest with a stream.
We went up a steep difficult hill, then it started to rain.
We were walking under a thick woods so the rain did not penetrate.
But then we were detoured and the course became very difficult.
We reached 840 meters. It was raining too hard to take photographs.
We continued down the mountain but we didn't see another course re-routing.
The downhill was so hard and took a very long time. We miserably ate our rice balls and tea under a tree with flies buzzing about. Nice anniversary bonding experience.
We finally made it back to a highway.
We used the highway to return to a useable part of the trail.
We returned to the station wet but relieved.

Dream Sketches part 2

Letting go

Roller coaster

Great feeling























We travel in dad’s car.

It’s snowing, but yesterday so hot.

Slush on the road.

We come to old Japanese wooden home.

We used to live in this home, not anymore.

However, furniture is still there.

View of outside is orange sky with old smokestacks/ factories.

I photograph it.

Uncle Elliot is sleeping in there.

His two friends who are gay lovers are having sex and sleeping on a couch in another room.

They wake up and apologetically leave.

Elliot asks about, “Ichigaya”(a neighborhood in Tokyo).

He just says, “Ichigaya, Ichigaya, Ichigaya.”

He is wearing a futuristic super hero like uniform.

We don’t live in Ichigaya anymore either, we moved.
