THE WORLD DREAM BANK: TIMELINE: 2001

Dreams listed by date:
2001

Me, I hardly dreamed, this year--I barely slept. I spent most of the year workaholic, feverish... building the World Dream Bank. Oddly, I didn't miss my dreams, for I spent all day, every day, immersed in dreams, dreams from every year of my life, reliving my entire life. Well, at least the documented part: ten thousand days, thirty thousand dreams.

I was so busy, I didn't even keep a journal for much of the year, so I can't be sure of most dates. I did far more art than this, but most of it ended up as dream-illustrations, so it's scattered over past years. What's here is just a tiny subset: the few non-dream non-illustrations done this year...

Except for one. After the Bang is about dreams--about the strange place I'm in now, as I wind down this vast project, this year-long dream, and wake to stare around me bewildered...

Dream well.
