Dream
... I had a dream recently where I was, in some weird, half-dimension place, typing a message to somebody, but at the same time I was in a trench and hiding. Like a fox-hole, or something. I hadn't been asleep that long and I woke with a start. (I think the blanket had covered my face or something).
Whatever the proximate cause, as I lay in deep a bit shaken by the dream I quickly decided that it "meant", or represented, my fear to write fiction and reveal myself. Hence the hunched/hidden typing in the trench and the unhappiness with the result, the fear, etc. So, rather than live in a trench/dugout/fox-hole, I will write fearlessly.
