Dreams became more interesting. It started tha habit of recording them. Often I'd awake and read notes about dreams already forgotten. In one it stated "My dust settles in unknown places where I have been." This was followed in later nights by stories about an Italian marble quarry worker, an Olmec Jasique, a British sailor, a Russian trader, a Spanish colonial missionary, an American colonial spy, a freak, a French painter, a San Francisco fisherman and a WW I American soldier.

Did interest in history trigger these dreams? Was I creative even while dreaming? Imagination could easily convert all these slumber adventures into a study on reincarnation. After this conclusion came a dream of recording it all on tile.

After sharing all this with Stonelight Tile they said, "Do it! Take whatever is needed and we'll fire it at no cost. From here on, you are our resident artist."
