Impeachment and Dream Witnesses

Here's another Convenience from the philosopher tradition.The writer's use of the word Impeachment does not suggest illegality; she is asking her readers to be thoughtful and precise in analysis and word usage.She asks us to consider our definitions of competency, relevancy, good, form, and nature.She would suggest that we may each hold quite different understandings of the words. She also suggests that meaning may change over time.

Impeachment of Dream Witnesses

Competency is a hopeful necessity.

Relevancy is good,

but what constitutes relevancy & what is good

when relative time and nature and form

are taken into consideration?

Truthful Analogy

This Convenience is from the Simplicity tradition.The writer believes that the work has been overly complicated, or has been presented as being too mystical or complex.She tells her readers that luck and coincidence have little to do with a good dream.A pleasant dream is whatever we (each of us or groups of us) consider to be a pleasing combination of images, meanings, etc.

In Truthful Analogy

Independent of coincidence, or fortuity of any kind,

the very ground work and basis of Dream Harmony

is simply a pleasing ensemble.

Inconvenience - Provisional Specification

Much Convenience and Inconvenience work involves subverting the more obvious meaning of a text or an image.In this Inconvenience, the writer uses a patent application (for a device meant to help people avoid poison) as her source.She subverts the patent's message by suggesting that poison can be inserted into the device itself, thus spreading contagion.Convenience scholars have located her source document: Improved Device for Distinguishing Bottles and the Like which Contain Poison by Eliza Cutler, published in 1902.

Provisional Specification

Improved Device for Proliferating Dreams which Contain Poison

This invention can readily and quickly form breakage, within reasonable limits.

The word "poison" moulded on the surface of the bottle

CONTAINS THE POISON.

Kitchen Dreams

This Convenience is an ode to the everyday, to the common, to the plain.I love this message for its support of the workaday world, and its assertion that not all dreams need to be fanciful and spectacular.The text uses the metaphor of a kitchen to deliver its meaning, for it is kitchens of all sorts that deliver nourishment.

The Cool Gaze

Kitchen Dreams

The kitchen dream is essential;

it is everyday, is elemental.

The practical side of dreaming is nourishing and needs no defense.

It is important because it affirms the plain statement

and describes the Book of the Workaday.

Re-Union

This Convenience writer welcomes all aspects of life into dreams. She invites the pleasant experiences and the [stereotypically] less pleasant experiences to reunite.She suggests that all emotions, thoughts, and states dance together to form better dreams.Her inference is that people are more whole[some] when they embrace both the light and dark parts of themselves.The date on the invitation places this convenience in 1868.

Basic Condition of Dream Life

This Convenience presents another argument for the relativity of dream work. The writer asserts that dreams are connected to other dreams, and that they, and experiences, are not linear manifestations.They are events that form, un-form, and re-form constantly.Convenience scholars have located the original text for this piece in The Psychology of Attention, published by Ribot in 1890. The image of the clock comes from Electrical Clocks and Clockwork by Henry Dent Gardner, 1879.

The Basic Condition of Dream Life

namely, change, is not a chain, a series.

It is a mobile aggregate which is being incessantly formed, unformed, and re-formed.

More than once it happens that a dream evokes another dream

because there is a common emotional fact which unites them,

given time.

Inconvenience - Smith's Effective Modern Formula for Poison Dreams

Here is more information from the shadowy and shady realm of practitioners.This Inconvenience advertises a poison dream formula, and its text includes a testimonial.The formula has been found to effectively poison dreams for any length of time from one day to forever, the ultimate goal.

Smith's Effective, Module Formula for Poison Dreams

A Testimonial

In the day, he complained of pain.

He said his dreams were bad all Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday,

and then, as far as could be ascertained,

Forever!

No. 2 Theory of Colour Dreaming

This is another convenience from a writer privileging the personal experience above external explanations and expectations.Note the use of the word qualitatively. This word asserts the importance of quality over quantity; quality can be a personal metric.

No. 2 Theory of Colour Dreaming

Investigators and dream workers have long felt

the power of colour and of sensation qualitatively described;

for colour is a set of conditions, a position,

an experience.

Dreaming and Plain Facts

This convenience comes from the Positionality tradition. I personally love this tradition for its insistence on valuing different viewpoints and different dreams.Positionality theory posits that no two people share an identical understanding for any given word or phrase.Though practitioners fully recognize that words are fundamental, many also recognize that the words are placeholders for meaning.

Dreaming and Plain Facts

Verily, plain meaning is an illusion.

Different life-contexts, different mental worlds repudiate the principle.

The critical domain is figurative and symbolic;

what each means is likely different in some way.

How could it be otherwise?

The Best Case

This convenience is from the philosophy tradition.Its writer asks her clients to consider what might be a welcoming influence, and to ponder how much access the clients are willing to cede for new dreams.

The Best Case

The most essential threshold:

effort is wanted when the border is open to genial influences

(obviously).

But, what is genial?

And how far open?

Audacity in Women

Convenience scholars believe this piece was created between 1905 and 1920.The convenience writer explicitly defends women's spirits and capabilities.Researchers have found that the image of the plowing woman comes from How to Make a Vegetable Garden by Edith Fullerton, 1905, and that the background has been cut from a1906 Sears and Roebuck Wallpaper Samples book.

Audacity in Women

Since words have power,

care should be taken to warn against

the old idea that women are delicate.

Women have great strength.

Women are venturesome.

Inconvenience - Pain and Dream Inflammation 1

The inconvenience writers always support the malicious, however it may appear.This writer tells her practitioners to seek out and encourage the coarser and grosser experiences of life, all the better to quash hope.She has chosen her image from The Geography of the Heavens written by Elijah Hinsdale Burritt, and published in 1860. The majority of the text comes from the 1838 article, "On the Theory of Inflammation," written by Martyn Paine.Inconvenience scholars have long studied and appreciated the juxtaposition of a heavenly image imposed with information about how to inflame a life and cause pain.The text mentions comparison, and the total piece reflects duality: fine/gross, hypothetical/control, and hope/pain.

Pain and the Theory of Dream Inflammation

Defer to malicious authority to warrant the formation of pain.

We illustrate this subject by comparison:

disregard the finest and seek the coarsest,

disdain the hypothetical illustration and

render the grosser action of control.

This must be especially  the case considering

The impossibility of detecting any

remarkable quality of good hope.

Beneath a Deposit of Time

This convenience writer believes that new dreams may be found in the remnants of earlier dreams.She recognizes the import of these dreams to a earlier imagination, and asks her clients to let those dreams fill the heart and mind once again.Many convenience scholars have theorized that this writer believes those first dreams to be among the most pure and authentic dreams.The writer has used an image from the 1879 edition of Electrical Clocks and Clockwork by Henry Dent Gardner to illustrate her emphasis on time.

On the Occurrence of Dream Artifacts Beneath a Deposit of Time

An examination of the present may reveal

the remnant of a dream of greater volume

which had, at one time, practically filled the heart.

Learn how to remember.

Seek to Make the Surface Solid

Here is a farm convenience giving practitioners a small set of basic admonitions.I, and other convenience scholars, particularly appreciate the emphasis on curiosity.In this convenience, curiosity is more than a suggestion; it is the central core value for both client and practitioner.

Farm Convenience 53

Seek to Make

the surface solid and firm.

In addition, there should be a central core of

Curiosity.

Inconvenience: Take a Malevolent Sentiment

This Inconvenience writer has created an article for Inconvenience Magazine using the 1895 edition of Our Edible Toadstools and Mushrooms and How to Distinguish Them (written by W. Hamilton Gibson) as her source text.There is not much subtlety in this piece.The writer clearly announces her desire for malevolence, and her admiration for poison.She finds comfort, and likely finds justification, when her own poisonous intentions are mirrored by poison in the natural world.

10 Inconvenience Magazine July

Take a Malevolent Sentiment to gain poisonous victory.

Nothing shows real intent and true commitment more

than a sympathy with nature's killers.

They are beautiful.

The Mystic Dream Bank

Convenience writers and practitioners have come from many different traditions.Here is a piece from a Convenience Mystic writing in the wisdom tradition.She describes what she sees as the infinite and varied dream possibilities that can be accessed through a mystical/wisdom approach.

The Mystic Dream Banks:

Miscellaneous collections of creative currency,

historic auspices of possibility.

Inconvenience: Genuine Distress

This Inconvenience writer has used the 1897 edition of Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes to create this missive.This source text and style appear throughout several late 19th- and early 20th-century inconveniences, and many early Convenience scholars proposed that this particular writer was male.These Victorian and Edwardian convenience scholars assumed that the forceful language in this source text, and emphasized by this writer, could only have been chosen by a man.Gendered assumptions have been shown to be clearly false in later convenience scholarship.As more of [his] Inconveniences are published online, readers may make their own assessments concerning the gender of the writer.

Genuine Distress:

Mischief has been the instrument.

Deep feeling tears through the psyche

using sorrow and iron determination.

Persons are Gifted

This writer has used the 1897 edition of Pastures and Pasture Plants by William Toogood to create her Convenience.Her hand coloring adds interest and emphasis to the piece.I love this convenience for its insistence that virtues are not rare, and that they can be found in many people, if the time is taken to get to know the individual(s).Convenience scholars have classified this convenience as one of the Egalitarian Conveniences. This subgenre of conveniences supports the idea that truth does not belong to any one individual or any one group.Virtue is not rare.

Farm Convenience 47

Persons are gifted with NOT-rare virtues.

Watch carefully.

The best plan that we have heard of, or have tried,

is seeing underneath.

The Cool Gaze: The Living Dream

Here's another convenience from the practitioner who uses the Boston Cooking School Magazine as her primary source.For this convenience, she's cut out letters from the magazine title and has pasted them into the page she wanted to use for content.She urges her readers to see the possibilities around them in the entire atmosphere, and to practice living in the present.

The Cool Gaze: The Living-Dream

The living-dream centers in the entire atmosphere.

Its chief characteristic is a present sense

of realizing knowledge and comfort.

Inconvenience - How to Begin With a Seeker

This Inconvenience writer has found that making a person doubt himself can be the most powerful magic in the world.The writer notes that it is not necessary that the client believe in magic; it is enough to plant the seeds of self doubt and to encourage the belief that the client deserves this doubt.Vulgar magic, indeed.

How to Begin with a Seeker

Practice the Great Magic of doubt.

Believe that he deserves his fate.

It is not essential he believes in the occult,

a supply of doubt is an absolute and vulgar magic.
