random Philip K. Dick-ism of the day... (from film WAKING LIFE)

after just watching this film i am deeply worried that the whole reason i am so discontent in my life is that i no longer dream. this effing mental illness and the poison i am told to take it to fix me prevents me from having dream-sleep. i am going to cut back on the ambien even more tonight. to sleep, perchance to dream, at least once again - please god.

Peace

I don't know why I'm not allowed to live in Santa Cruz. When Billy and I became able to live there from 1995 to 1998 it was like we had won a huge lottery, like I had worked my way out of an enormous prison sentence and I was given a liberty to experience freedom from the previous 35 years of junk-karma I had created for myself. Was it the benefits of hard work? Or luck? Or karmic justice? Now I cannot even afford the price of a tank of gas for a day trip to Santa Cruz and my body aches so much from the mental woes and worries my mental disease inflicts me with, I'm afraid that if I got into the 50 degree waters for 30 minutes of body surfing that my musc...
