Transport

I believe that dreams transport us through the underside of our days, and that if we wish to become acquainted with the dark side of what we are, the signposts are there, waiting for us to translate them.

I used to think that it would be great if you could drive on a street in one town and then be magically transported to that same street in another town.  For example, you could be driving on fourth street in Ames, IA and then - if you wanted - you could be driving instead on fourth street in Davis, CA or Pittsburgh, PA.  And it wouldn't just work in states that ended with an A.  You could also go to fourth street in South Portland, ME.  And it wouldn't just work for states that ended with vowels.  Or states in the continental U.S.  Or on "fourth street."  It would be any street.

It was all pretty simple when I used to think it.

Maybe life has just gotten more complex since then.

Or maybe it's you.  Maybe you are just teasing me or trying to be difficult.

Yes.  It's probably you.
