In my handwritten journals, I let the boy artist in me out to play. I have started scanning some of the images. Here are a few from my journal for the spring of 2003.<\/p>\n

“Sea Gate to the Island of Women” \u00a0provided a portal for an excellent wide-awake lucid dream journey, aided by shamanic drumming.<\/p>\n

“Aerial Rescue on Highway One” was a dream in which I had to put on hawk wings to save someone falling from a great height. Fortunately, I had had plenty of flight training.
