[Waking recording-status preface omitted.]
I am visiting a completely unfamiliar place. I am inside and outside a painting that I am painting.
I dream a sort of analogy between painting and dreaming that opens a new dimension within the dream.
At night, in a public place, there is a car parked on the street under electricity wires. In my hands, I have all the necessary materials to artificially illuminate my painting. All I have to do is to paint the roof of the car and apply a layer of oil paint to spread it out to the limit. The oil that I have is semisolid. The brush melts it, as I move it across the canvas, and it stays on the
surface of the support, where the ceiling light goes. I control the motion to achieve this consistency and transform it into a delicate nocturnal glow.
Simultaneously, a studio meeting is going on inside the building; it is the end of a conference. [person A] is there, and I awkwardly confess a personal matter, I think I have Asperger’s syndrome. She looks well prepared. She takes out a questionnaire to conduct a test. I watch her as she draws circles where the dots of the “I”s go all along the page.
I find it hard to believe [person A] also has this syndrome. It is actually disconcerting.
