dreamstream's Journal

This community is intended for a special kind of writing. What Kerouac called "spontaneous prose" is close, but it doesn't hit the mark. It's like you have this group of phrases in your head, and you just let go. You start with a random sentence, whatever you want to write, and then you put words together after that. Your phrases will certainly not make "sense" in the conventional sense, as in, for the purpose of communicating an idea. It's more of a meandering inside your head.

If you start to make sense, you're not doing it right. If you're doing it right, you won't constantly have the thought in your mind, "this needs to not make sense".

You're supposed to wander with dreamstream. That's the whole point.
