The Dream Thread

[isis]

dreamt that I came across somebody who flagged me down. I didn't recognize him and thought he had the wrong person, but he said he remembered me and insisted that I was voltaire "from another time." I replied, "back then, I was called 'zhivu' "

first thought is that is russian for 'i live'; second thought is it could be french, je veux, 'I want'

russian first because I studied russian for 2 years so that's what my initial inkling was. but obviously the french could be more relevant.

anyway -- oooooook, that's odd

voltaire's bday is 2 days after mine so maybe we share some kinda similar astrological energy but I'm not big on claiming to be anybody's reincarnation. probably has more to do with the fact that I've started to be able to live off of my writing and voltaire's path would be a fine one to follow. should probably read the rest of his works now.

Did you know his bday is so close to yours before having that dream?
