Dream Source1
Transparent building entered.
Stairs climbed.
Hear sobbs and sorrow.
Own heart breaks and devastates.
Looks up and sees people like he.
Crying and moaning at every flight.

Vampires and victims
One side flows full of essence,
something the other craves.
Which is why we need a balance,
as without it neither lives.
Yin and yang, lack and flourish,
a cycle of vampires and victims.
On grounds with plenty to nourish,
the rain falls in periodical rythms.

Weekly Assignments 1 & 2
“The book that made the strongest impression on me”
The book that had impressed me most would be ‘MOMO’ written by Michael Ende. It was read during my middle school years when I had hardly any sense of reality. At that time I always found it difficult to read books that were realistic. So this dream-like book was one sweet treat for me. I dug my face in it and gobbled the whole fairy tale up. That was probably the point I developed a great appetite for fiction. There was always a novel beside my bed and I read each night till I fell asleep. I had more novels on my bookshelf than I had friends during these days.
Meanwhile, in my freshman year I had an opportunity to visit my cousin in NJ. She had majored in film and was working as a freelancer for an apartment in Brooklyn, NY. That was when one title caught my eye in between a fat stack of books. ‘Sputnik Sweetheart’ by Haruki Murakami was the first book I started reading as soon as I was back from my trip. Its poetic lines and tempting story had captured me completely. The book aroused my once lost emotion and a new taste for philosophy. Greatly influenced by the sophisticate simplicity, I came to think that if I were a writer I would write like Murakami.
“Daydreams and Nightmares”
The project I am willing to work through the semester goes by the title written above. Dreams have always been an interest to human kind. They have been psychologically and scientifically examined through the past years, by psychoanalysts such as Sigmund Freud, in order to better understand the human mind. However, I believe dreams are also worth synthesizing not just analyzing. Taking each dream as it is, leaving it alone without dissecting and putting them all together. I hope this project will end in giving the dreams a certain form of life.
The method will be by interlinking my dreams and those that are dreamed by the people around me, daydreams and nightmares alike. It would be wonderful if I could find some kind of unity and compose them into it. I will continue to collect dreams and try to find a connection among them. According to the Zen mind, ‘the whole life is a net.’ Life shown by reality and dreams are bound together. Therefore, I am looking forward to seek togetherness in life and our dreams through poetry.
