Above is my journal spread with my illustrated Wordles and in today’s dreams, some naughty teens and federal crimes. Below are close-ups of each page with the dream stories.
When I googled the Wordle, BELIE + animals I found the Slow Loris nycticebus coucang whose “cute appearance belies their viciousness and use of venom as a weapon.” It is one of the most adorable creatures but quite deadly.
My dreams that night were of a criminal nature:
- I had a houseful of incorrigible, disrespectful teenagers, making out in every corner. I kicked them out and didn’t care if I embarassed them.
- I went to the post office to get my mail. Nobody was there. I saw a big box of mail and decided to take it home with me. I spent the rest of the night unsuccessfully dreaming up ways to return the box without getting charged with a felony.
I took the easy way out for Wordle LEMON and just drew a lemon from my tree.
My only remembered dream: There was a tiger outside and the children let it in. It keeps getting closer to me so I hide in the bathroom.
The next day’s page bled through the thin Hobonichi journal paper but maybe it looks like a jungle background?
