Sueños

​I am in a building, it appears I am playing a scavenger game with other people, strangers. 

Someone is giving us the instructions to follow We all dispersed to go look for things. I go up to a little room, there is someone already there looking through a window, I also wanted to look but the person took too long. 

Either the game ends or there is a break, I am going to my room to rest. 

The room is completely white, many beds, inside. Also many windows with beautiful views of an old city. It looks like I am in Italy. I am looking for the bed assigned to me. Hoping I am closer to the window. Someone from under the blankets pointed out to my bed. 

Suddenly music breaks. I realize then we are on top of the hotel restaurant, and is going to be very noisy.

Flujo...

Hoy, todos los planes que tenia para pintar, interrumpidos por el flujo menstrual. Llego con todos los symptoms: dolores de cuerpo, manos, pies, cabeza, estupor etc. 

La lluvia hizo que me diera aun mas pereza, me la he pasado tranquila en cama, escribiendo, escuchando musica, dibujando, mirando un  tv....explica porque soñe anoche con los toilets llenos de sangre menstrual.  


Haight Street

Me encanta San Francisco cuando llueve, especialmente alrededor de Haight Street. Los árboles, las calles, todo se ve tan bonito, casi europeo, como si fuera el comienzo de una novela y yo fuera la protagonista.

Entré a varias tiendas vintage, pero no compré nada pero el olor intenso a ropa antigua me dio un poco de alergia.

Siempre que camino por esta calle, no puedo evitar recordar los tiempos del BTC, cuando tocábamos música en la calle y hacíamos teatro. Eramos muy jovenes entonces.

Me llama la atención que, a pesar de que esta calle ha cambiado mucho, todavía se ve gente que mantiene un estilo único y creativo al vestir, pero ya no se ven el tipo de artistas callejeros de antes. 

Hay otras memorias que no tienen nada que ver con San Francisco. Por ejemplo, hay una esquina completamente decorada en estilo psicodélico, con colores fluorescentes y vibrantes. Siempre que paso por allí, me trae recuerdos de un póster que mi papá pintó en ese mismo estilo. También a las decoraciones que mi tío René hizo para el Circo. El olor a incienso, de las tiendas Budistas, traen recuerdos de mi papá, de los tiempos que viví con Juan,  recuerdos del instituto etc. 

Luego me hizo realizar, que siempre he sentido una conexión con esa época de los años sesenta, una época que experimente en los 70's, tal vez porque en El Salvador, todas las modas llegaban tarde, o porque mí Papá de alguna forma la extendió, con la decoración, con la música, con el estilo de vida. 

Otra nota: Siempre me he fijado en que, en el área del Richmond District, especialmente en las zonas residenciales, hay muy pocas o casi ninguna persona negra. Es cuando paso de Masonic Street que comienzan a verse más afroamericanos, particularmente en Haight Street, Fulton y obviamente en Fillmore y sus alrededores, pero en esta area no.  No sé si es solo una percepción mía, pero me da la impresión de que en las zonas donde hay más gente asiática, hay menos personas negras, y viceversa.  

Me dio curiosidad y encontre este articulo, que mas o menos explica la razon:

Beyond Reasonable Doubt

I have gathered enough evidence (from personal experience and from just observing society) to conclude that doubt is never entirely eliminated. Even when substantial evidence appears to support someone’s account, the possibility of error remains.

There are countless examples of cases that were considered proven “beyond reasonable doubt” that were later overturned. 

Courts, juries, investigators, and entire communities have collectively agreed on a version of events, only to discover years later that they were all wrong. 

There is always the possibility of mistakes, assumptions, pressure, misjudgment etc. 

Jurors are supposed to stay away from news and outside information, as to remain impartial with their decisions, however a lot of the dynamics of the trial itself can cloud the view of someone in the wrong direction. 

I think of the case where the mother was convinced the suspect was guilty; she never actually admitted it, but provided enough non verbal evidence. When she gave her testimony, she led the jury to conclude that the accused was guilty, when in fact, he was completely innocent. 

There are so many factors that can influence someone’s judgment. I feel “beyond reasonable doubt” is weak, fragile. 

There are always reasons to doubt beyond reason. 




Sueños

​I am in a classroom filled with students. I am about to take a test. I realized that there is a part of the test i didn’t study. Is about spirituality in general, somehow I feel I didn’t need to study for that. 

Still, I think that maybe I should read something before the test starts. 

I am looking inside my bag for the book and I don’t have it. I asked other students around if I can borrow theirs. 

One girl for whatever reason is reluctant.  I somehow get a hold a book. The writing is super small, I can’t read it. There are pages with illustrations. I decided to take photos of the book instead. 

Now, I am in line to talk to my teacher. He and I are friends, not sure how. Every one is on the line to ask about the test. Me and the teacher have a special relationship, again don’t know how; but the other students are aware of our friendship and are kind of jealous or are expecting some special treatment with me. ( Very similar to my philosophy teacher in high school, same thing. Perceiving that my classmates think we are romantically involved only because we share the same enthusiasm for the subject)  

I reached the teacher, he is a mix of my philosophy teacher and a mix of Curioso.  

One girl is super jealous (Jules) The moment she sees that I am about to talk to the teacher, she started making fun and turned around and showed us her behind. There was something written on it, but can’t remember what it was. 

The teacher super calmly started pointing out things on the book for me. 

My stepmother is also around, sort of talking badly of me with someone else. I feel everyone is against me, or they don’t want me to pass the test. 

I also asked another student a question about something I couldn’t read, she ignored me. 

I need to use the bathroom, and I go to a long hallway (i’ve seen this place before in my dreams) - I found the entrance. 

There is one room, with the toilets right next to each other; none of the toilets are flushed. Lots of the look nasty. Some of them with menstrual blood. I get angry and I said aloud: Is it hard to flush the toilets after you use them? 

I can’t remember what happened after that.

Sueños

Lo único que recuerdo es que estaba en la calle. Había una conmoción, como si un accidente acabara de ocurrir. Al parecer, un policía tropezó accidentalmente con una señora, y el bebé que ella llevaba cayó al suelo. El bebé lloraba, y otro policía regañaba al que había causado el accidente.

Luego me veo detrás de una van conducida por gente muy extraña. Para empezar, todos son extremadamente obesos y llevan un maquillaje exagerado, como de carnaval. Están persiguiendo a su mono, una de sus mascotas, que se ha escapado. Quieren atraparlo antes de que la policía lo haga.

En su intento por alcanzar al mono, manejan de forma bastante imprudente. Pienso que son los que están causando accidentes. 

Lo sentí!

​como un aroma que llegó de la nada a mis olfatos, 

por unos segundos, una imagen borrosa llegó a mi memoria. 

una invención mía, quizás, pero igual, si que pasó! 

lo interesante es que ha llegado, puntual a mi buzón. 

Digo puntual, porque no es la primera vez que siento algo y justo después llega. 

coincidencia? 

otra distorsión de la realidad? 

por ahora, solo dejamos notas...
