“i’ll let you be in my dreams if i can be in yours”

a mini story i wrote about how we, as humans, connect. i think so often everyone just kinda wanders around in their own world, thinking about themselves, and appears in their dreams alone. we’re all just kinda on our own little islands and it feels like we are getting more and more disconnected as technology allows it.

around the same time, i was listening to the bob dylan song “talkin WWIII blues” which came about around the time of the civil war. of course i then read the lyrics:

“i’ll let you be in my dreams
if i can be in yours”

i thought about how timely it all was with the global state of 2025 and then thought about how the story i wrote kinda touched on the same idea [everyone just wandering around by themselves but bob dylan sayin’ he didn’t want do that]. so i made this small wooden framed box out of an ink transfer of bob dylan and acrylic paint as a little reminder that i’m not here alone and connection is the entire purpose.
