My January 2010 Tweet Dreams

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  dreams    Posted date:  February 4, 2010  |  No comment


Those of you who’ve been following my musings know that I dream. I dream a lot. And I report the ones that seem relevant both on my LiveJournal blog (where I post the dreams which seem to have more details worth sharing) and on Twitter.

But tweets are such fragile, ephemeral things that I’ve decided to collect them each month. Here are my dream tweets from January 2010.

Who knows? Perhaps one of them was about you!

January 2010
