i fell asleep at 3:30 am, but for some reason bolted upright exactly two hours later. i’d just had a vivid dream. my friend fia was in it. i had not spoken to her in a while . . . so there in the darkness of my apartment still prone upon my couch i fulfilled my obligation to text her about her appearance in that dream. she wrote back immediately from los angeles:

do i possess a prowess for the paranormal? is ESP a real phenomenon? i think it is harmless to at least give some credence to it. and anyway, i have experienced more evidence for it than not. if you are open to such things, you are often rewarded with some ghostly winking of its truthfulness, not unlike jolly punches in the side bestowed by the unseen and unaccountable old joker when the world comes to feel like a vast practical joke at your own expense. at any rate, i will continue to post my conclusions here on this fine website you’re reading. heaven help me, i am terminally curious of unknown things for which definitive proof can never truly be established!! you gotta admit it’s more fun that way!!!

yeah!!!!

well:
