THE CROSSING


I am The Dream Whisperer.
You know my name because you can see it in your dream.
You have called out to me to help you rid your mind of your derision.
But, are you ready for the horror you might face when I enter your dream?
Unknown things lurk deeper inside your mind than you realize.
And I make you face those dark things.
Are you ready for me?
Here is a less horrific example of what it is for you to invite me inside your dream.
What will you truly want from me after you read this example called...
The Crossing!

THE CROSSING

South Moon Manor Psychiatric Center

(Seattle, Washington)

Says The Dream Whisperer:


I am alone,

 My lights are low,

My bed is warm,

My mind is clear and the final session into Jasper's mind is about to begin.

His psychosis is was so severe that his mind was shutting down his body.

I needed to be at home in the comfortable confines of my own bed for this final trek.

Even though Jasper is on the hospital bed twenty miles away...

I needed the distance between us because I did not want to overwhelm him this time.

Valery is such a good friend of mine...

And an excellent and caring sister to Jasper!
I love her and wish both she, and her brother, no harm.

Even though there was the chance of destroying Jasper's Id,

As I dug my claws deep into his dream state,

I decided to whisper his dream to save him anyway...

As she continued to beg for my help in her own dreams.

I will enter Jasper's mind,

For the last time,

On the dream airplane of his fondest childhood memory.
Now Jasper gets to fix his own mind by telling me things only he and I will ever know!
He will tell me things I do not know!
Now focus, my friend.
Focus on a memory that reminds you of a fantastic moment.
Speak to me now, Jasper.

 *****

Says Jasper Johns:

Sarah Anne...
I have focused!
Can you see the most beautiful thing we have seen together?
Remember the day we took that picture that bright Spring morning?
Can you see our flower?
I see it now...
And it has brought you to me!

You were like my other lovely sister. 

We have all grown up together...

From the four year old dream kids of yesteryear...

 Until the 29 year old pieces of memory we are today. 

You and me and my sister... 

We've lived through it all... 

Together as best dream friends of youth surfing the dream waves together.

Unfortunately for our friendship, 

We've been apart for the last eleven years. 

My time consuming job took me away from you. 

I must confess that when I saw you last week in my dream, 

For the first time in all these years, 

I nearly fell over into the dream river and drowned in the emotions. 

How could I forget my need for you that fast?

You stepped out of the dream airplane onto the dream shore, 

On the other side of the dream river, 

And I watched you attempt to walk toward me. 

But the dream river was moving too fast and you could not cross. 

So I had to create the dream boat with enough power to push me to you. 

The closer I got to you the faster my heart began to beat in my chest. 

And, the closer I got to you the more I remembered your beauty.

It was my honor to lift you up from the surface of the dream river. 

Your ability to travel through the world of dreams

Traversing the insides of the human mind,

Makes you into the ultimate dream trekker here. 

So, it was my pleasure to feel you in my arms as you hugged me. 

It was my pleasure to see you smile again as you looked into my eyes. 

And touching you in my dream... 

It is a straightening out of the crazy state of my mind...

 That you have brought clarity to my deepest thoughts and dreams.

I now see my existence differently than the last time we interacted almost a dream millennium ago. 

How long is that in real time... I forget.

You know I love you. 

I love you more than a sister!

I know that now... 

And my depression is caused by confused derision.

Now you know how much I love you. 

Please forgive this bit of voyeurism into your life from inside this dream, 

But I have looked into your dream state, too... 

And I now know the peace you know.

The lessons you taught me about dreams as a kid...

I remember them now...

And clarity is inside my brain because you have touched my dreams again.

I thank you, 

Beautiful whisperer of my dreams. 

I can now let go of the sadness, 

And the madness, 

That quarks my waking state and my dream state. 

As you can now see, 

My dream river has slowed down to the point that...

You can now walk back to the other side without my assistance. 

I thank you for bringing me focus... forever.

And when I eventually awake in reality... 

I know I will be free to see the light clearly and without delusion.

Thank you, my goddess of my dreams...

My friend from our incredible youth...

My Dream Whisperer.

Says The Dream Whisperer:

And there you have it...

The beginning of the end of the madness inside my friends mind!

The final result of my actions are soon to be realized...

When Jasper decides to return to the waking world.

That dream airplane was a very sweet vehicle,

Transporting me throughout a landscape created by his slight madness.

With sanity returned,

Let us hope Jasper wants to return to the real world chaos.

We will know in two days.

And now...

I must cleanse my own dreamscape.

Sleep brings back my full sanity, too.

I will write the report for my personal journal in the morning.
And I will give that report to the hospitals doctors later in the day.

Good night,
This has been a rather long day.
