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?

Detail and Dream Finish

This convenience writer warns against becoming obsessed with details.My academic work on this piece makes the case that the text is addressing perfectionism.I argue that the writer encourages a childlike, natural curiosity, and that she believes that this state of mind will deliver the kind and benevolent dreams sought by clients.When she references the mother tongue, she is intimating that we each have a mother tongue, that is, a natural language that we immediately recognize and understand. This writer believes that the best dreams are delivered in that language.The text derives from The Theory of Effect by John Bengo and C. T. Hinckley, published in 1850, and the image is from How to Make a Vegetable Garden by Edith Fullerton, 1905.

Detail and Dream Finish

Detail is useless, it is mischievous,

it dissipates the attention, drawing it from the principal point.

Benevolent dreams express what is natural to the mind,

the curious and attentive mind,

in the tone of the mother tongue.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Inconvenience - Dream of Projecting

This inconvenience writer suggests that her clients assign all of their own unwanted habits, thoughts, and desires to another person.This means that the client need never deeply interact with or change this troublesome material.The writer knows that the projecting will negatively affect the one trying to rid herself of the need to take any personal responsibility. The inconvenience writer and the client sidestep the questions about how to become an introspective human being.This text is doubly-effective; the writer also knows the misery and confusion that will be visited upon the recipient of the projections.

Dream of Projecting

A magnified experience of a dream, or of any phenomenon,

when thrown upon another by means of imagination and language

& with arrogant natural assumptions,

is called a projection.

When bitterness is used for this purpose,

it is the proper application of effort

for Misery
