In the first year, this humble blogspot has garnered 10,000 pageviews from all over the world, including a whole lot from Russia!
Na zdorovye!
With a high of over 1500 views a month, that is more than many online literary journals!
In my first year of publishing creative writing, my imagination roamed freely into experimental literature as a visual experience. With a mainstay of dream journaling as a rooting practice in creative writing, and through imaginative reflections on dreaming and its awe-inspiring influence on the entirety of human culture throughout the ages, especially in art, literature and music, I have embarked on a path of creative development as a full-fledged dreamer.
My blog, regularly updated with creative dream fiction and original poetry, features my art alongside as a complementary art form drawn from the seamless worlds of consciousness and dreaming. Inspired by the tremendous creative insights, which fulfill my being after reflecting on the wealth of imagery in dreams, whose sensual experiences are pregnant with symbolic mythopoesis, I have endeavored to experience my greatest passion, the act of creative writing, as a visual art form.
What I originally referred to as spatial literature began its journey in the public mind with the asemic writing / post-literature community, where my work was first featured on The New Post-Literate: A Gallery of Asemic Writing. After only a few months, I have received ten exhibitions - in print, online and live at local galleries.
The dream lives on in my daily life through the creative work of making new art, and in the unconscious wellspring of raw intentionality, to truly be an example of my art, as a positive and vibrant force of individuality. This is the greatest dream that my art reveals to me.
May We Continue Into All Forms of Consciousness to Create the Public Dream of an Art-Full World!
After contemplating the recent series of interpretations based on the application of generic dream dictionary usage, I have experienced the truth that in fact, the interpretation is in the writing, that meaning that in creatively writing the dream with imaginative insight into the narrative structure and enlightening detail, the interpretation is made, not as a definition or forecast, but as an act of creative impression in the waking mind of the public collective, where art and dream interfuse in a subtle rendering of meaning in the act of envisioning the import of the imagery on waking, through conscious language, yet still poetically, in a language that minds the unconscious relativity of creation, as a holistic creative act in tune with the entire phenomenal experience of being human. That finally, the dream and its interpretation are one.

In a reprint of a philosophical musing on the experience of interpreting dreams through creative reflection on prominent imagery, or symbols, I have taken a step in another direction, a less conventional one, and one also corroborated by Freud (see my post: Free Association Beyond Symbols: The Interpretive Art of Freud) where the act of writing, is a willful and conscious movement towards free association, with an emphasis on free, which aligns with my creative aspiration, to see the entirety of my self through the lens of creative thought and its subsequent outpouring in language. Such is my raisons d'être for the SoJourn(al).After contemplating the recent series of interpretations based on the application of generic dream dictionary usage, I have experienced the truth that in fact, the interpretation is in the writing, that meaning that in creatively writing the dream with imaginative insight into the narrative structure and enlightening detail, the interpretation is made, not as a definition or forecast, but as an act of creative impression in the waking mind of the public collective, where art and dream interfuse in a subtle rendering of meaning in the act of envisioning the import of the imagery on waking, through conscious language, yet still poetically, in a language that minds the unconscious relativity of creation, as a holistic creative act in tune with the entire phenomenal experience of being human.

Interpretive Meaning
Interpret meaning in creative writing
Interpretation is the writing of creation
Meditating on dreams and the fleeting mind is to interpret
Creation is interpretation
The creative mind is interpretive
The world is open to interpretation
Create, and the mind is interpreted
Creation is the seamless measure of dream
When the unconscious is invoked in waking, a part becomes
whole
Interpretation is literal recollection, a voluntary
gathering of the involuntary
What is the outcome of a conscious recollection of the
unconscious?
Writing is a means to creative interpretation
Writing is one way to mind the unconscious
When writing is a creative act, the mind is open to
interpretation
When writing is a creative act, interpretation gives meaning
Thought, when creative, is meaningful
Silence, when thought, is interpreting
Be silent, think, and write a new interpretation
Interpretation is meaning
Interpretation is interpretation
Interpret meaning with meaning
Mean to interpret
Congratulations are in order here, Rusty. You've definitely kicked the Jungian and Surrealistic insights up a notch or three, moving the universe in your own way towards a more expansive and harmonious sense of what art is and can be.
