 		If it's a dialogue between them, the question of how/why BA got her hands on one of DC's paintings to cut up and send to us might be important.

I wondered something similar when I saw the title of the New York Craigslist from May 09:

Two curious people. One dreamer. - w4w

The problem with the theory that the perspective of the "Me" shifts from post to post is that, especially recently, there has been a lot of continuity between posts -- they've been a more coherent, ordered narrative and don't give the feeling of jumping around between perspectives (unlike the earlier ones).

And the interesting thing about the ordered narratives is that she is continuing to piece together the dreams that we give her that we've had... That "amusing" post in the Cotedezur CL takes the strange dream that HP had and then continues the narrative rather accurately with one of my dreams that I posted almost to the letter... Fun part is that every night I go to sleep I've got this thing on my mind so much that I come up with a dream that fits well for our current issues... Moral of the story is that I'm going to keep driving BA nuts with these dreams as long as she keeps using them to tell more of her story... hopefully one of my dreams will have the information we need to continue onward!

Perhaps the dreamer is a woman and the conversation is between a man and a woman. The w4w posts would be the dreamer speaking as the woman and the w4m posts would be the dreamer speaking as the man. Does this hold up? * Off to dig into CL posts as work allows. *

An interesting one, so thought I'd post the text.
Quote:

Mornin' - w4m

You: Curious

Me: Awake


Rage surges through my body waking me up and destroying any chance I have of sleep. I turn on the coffee maker and head outside. The humid air hits my face, waking me up and reminding me that this is all a dream.

But it's not just a dream. It's a curiosity.
That's why you want to game this.
That's why you're reading this ad.

And that's fine. You can look at this as a game.
You can call me with your anger at my "cryptic psychobabble."
You can tell me that I'm a fraud that doesn't know how to tell the truth.


It doesn't bother me.


I don't do this for you.
I do this for me.

The truth is:
The truth is I tell who I see.
The truth is I tell what I see.

The truth is I am looking for the truth.
The truth is I don't know what that truth is.


The truth is there.

The truth is I think you can help.

Can you?


Here's what I know:
I know I see the same people.
I know I see the same places.

I know I see new people.
I know I see new places.

I know some of the people are real.
I know some of the places are real.
I know that I have only seen one real place.

I know that some of the places change
I know that I can change some of the places


Here's what I think:
I think some of it is mine.
I think some of it is real.
I think some of it is fake.

I think they're all different.
I think they're all important.


Here's what I wonder:
I wonder if I'm remembering more details because there are more details to remember.

How very zen.

I'll bseeingu
BA

I wish I could understand the reference(s) she keeps throwing out with this phrase. This is at least the third time we've seen it in it's various incarnations of CL dreamspeak.

 		Yes, particularly the phrases "destroying any chance I have of sleep" and "turn on the coffee maker."

 		I'll have to re-read the CL, but I remember thinking at some point that it seemed as though she were talking to herself - or rather an alternate version of herself - at times.

I did, but it was a couple weeks ago. I wanted to see if I could get a reaction.
