I keep a notebook in my desk for quasi-lucid thoughts. I sometimes write in it when I’m falling asleep and you have those really fluid ruminations - you start thinking about chewing gum and then end at Davis Burton, and before you know it, you’re asleep.
I just read this one, which I don’t remember writing:
“I wish I was a great and beautiful talent”
