Mirror: June 20, 2026

Open to Interpretation

#Mirror

Game on...on the Radio...Orioles at Dodgers...so, I dreamed of sailing off the freeway, and crashing into high rises, and another about searching for a lost dog...oh, and I wasn't driving, sitting in the passengers side...car was blue and white station wagon...and searching for the dog in the Valley...the Valley is a portmanteau...?...of Yosemite and Disneyland...I had gone away for two days, and my dog got away...my guess was she joined the animal parade, migration, that meanders around the Valley everyday-dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, donkeys, horses-orphaned animals that hang together...we're a search group, family, friends, and happen on the parade, paused near the veternarian's house...there, I'm rejoined with another of our dogs lost awhile go...pets kinda drift to the parade and come back...and I have my arms around this Collie of ours, and ask about my dog, a big, grey colored pooch...aand the vet says they were caring for her, aand, someone was in line for adopting her...oh, I questioned this...vet said dont worry, you'll get your dog back okay...and I wake up, arms around the collie, looking into her eyes...!!!...like I said, I can only approximate my dreams, so dont...and too, I'm afraid relating them will bleed into my dreams, make a mess...I dont go to fortune tellers for the same reason...hmmph...however, Marianna Moore, dreaming skills are the same as reading and writing poem skills...Yamamoto pitching...

✨️dreaming skills are the same as reading and writing poem skills...

Dreaming and reading or writing poetry are fundamentally connected by how the brain uses imagery, metaphor, and symbolism. Both practices bypass strict logical structures in favor of emotional truth, relying on the unconscious mind to convey deeper meaning. [1, 2]
The shared cognitive and creative traits between dreaming and poetry include:
• Language of Imagery: Instead of straightforward narrative, both rely on vivid, symbolic imagery that can have multiple interpretations.Bypassing the Ego: Both states lower conscious defenses to allow stream-of-consciousness associations and unexpected connections to surface.Emotional Truth: Dreams and poems often capture the essence of how we feel about a situation, rather than literal, day-world facts. [1, 2, 3]
While dreaming is an involuntary state and poetry requires conscious structuring, many writers deliberately harness their dreams as prompts to add psychological depth to their work. The process of waking up and recording a dream's fleeting imagery is very similar to free-associating for a poem. [1, 2, 3, 4]

🎶AI is a pill...Rojas up...Mookie made out...flies out for second out...Tommy the Tank up...the Liminal, and Poems, are mirrors that talk back...Orioles ?-Dodgers 0...

✨️...the Dream Liminal, and Poems, are mirrors that talk back...

Poetry and liminal spaces both act as reflective thresholds. They strip away everyday distractions and force us to confront our subconscious, memory, and innermost identities. When we step into these psychological "mirrors," we often find them reflecting our true selves or quietly questioning our realities. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Whether you are exploring the psychological corridors of liminal spaces or reading deeply reflective verse, the experience is inherently about transition and emotional processing. These mirrors often talk back by: [1, 2, 3]
• Distorting Reality: Just as a liminal space feels familiar yet surreal, poetry uses metaphor to twist our normal perceptions. [1, 2, 3, 4]Echoing Back Subconscious Thoughts: Dreams, liminal voids, and poems dig into the unresolved feelings we typically avoid, giving them a voice. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Providing a Space for Reflection: Both require you to be an active participant, bending over the metaphorical water to search for who you really are. [1, 2, 3]

🎶AI finds words in its approximations that are a pause!..."threshold"...I'm going on about that thin Liminal threshold between sleep and wake...AI setting it side by side with poetry, and poetry as "threshold", is apt!!!...Tree in the Door!!!...that crash dream repeated all night, different cars, road scenes-always in a panic to wake up-such is age's little infirmities!...off for a snack...such is hunger...top of fourth...bbk...bk...Orioles 3-Dodgers 0...to top of ninth...Angels 7-As 0...seventh inning in Sacremento...radio is transposing...I think it's top of ninth...but they said Tommy the Tank was up...two down for the Orioles...base hit...it's not "metaphorical water"!...hmmph...Ohtani to bat first in bottom of ninth...Orioles K...Dodgers up...tho there's thoughts about water for reals-mind in water...Ohtani with homerun...this is how Mookie started things in ninth yesterday!...line out...Freeman up...3-0...W...pitching change...Betts up...0-1...1-1...3-1...off glove at third...under review...safe...Freeland pinch hit...1-0...Tommy on deck...2-0...2-1...fly out...Tommy up...dropped ball in outfield...Orioles 3-Dodgers 2...Tucker up...1-0...1-1...1-2...K...
