• There was a time I try to look into the void between dreams and verity. 

• In my recurring dream where time appears to be morphogenetic, multiplicities unfold along the walls of our lived reality, there dreams invade the realm of every now. 

• Sculpted stone head, sofa, landslide, dinosaur, broadcasting, bricks and gravels, masks, rain, restless dance that overflows…pitter-pattering…

• Dream, obfuscating in nature, much more so than any lived recollections, retains its power to anchor our unoccurring nows (les présents non-réalisées); Certain collective memories, sceneries and objects recur differently to us, despite our shared root in an interconnected system of rhizomes. With its schizophrenic fluidity, the nows flow out-of-joint. 

• Different entry and exit points dreams unfurl. 

• Amid all the tossing and turnings, we run a journey through the crevasse, discovering a practical way-out of the current turmoil. 

• Dream Sequence, after all, is nothing but a decrepit chamber formed of a rim of soil, moisture and plain air. 

___ 有一段時間我的生活被推進了夢境與真實的傾軋。
__未已的夢裡，時間是變動不居、嬗變莫測的，夢的每個「再現」，差之毫釐，反反覆覆的回來，侵越現實的慣相。
石膏像、沙發、山泥、恐龍、廣播、磚頭、口罩、雨水、不斷地舞蹈、滿溢…淅瀝淅瀝滴滴答答……

______夢難以判辨真假，卻又必有一段記憶、一些景域、一堆物體與某個「未發生的現前」雷同；而對於在同一片土地的人，我所執著敲鑿的，於你可以是毫不講理，無從感受的符碼。交涉你我的每一個細節，解讀迥異，總是以一種精神分裂的方式，自由流竄。

夢有著許多孔與隙。

寤寐之間，思想是一趟挖掘差異、裂隙或深淵的偏航，又是一條現實的逃逸路線。
___虛的交織與實的延拓之「域外」，這只是一個由泥土、雨水和空氣匯合而成的暗房，極純粹。
