My April 2010 Tweet Dreams

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  dreams    Posted date:  May 2, 2010  |  No comment


Here are all of my April 2010 dream tweets, collected in one place because they seem so much more bizarre when piled one atop the other this way. (But also because it’s so much easier to determine—according to Patrick Nielsen Hayden’s theory—which of you are now eligible for SFWA membership.)

Welcome to another month my my surreal subconscious.
