My March 2010 Tweet Dreams

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  dreams    Posted date:  April 3, 2010  |  No comment


My subconscious was just as active as usual last month, resulting in many tweeted dreams.

I was thinking of telling you which one of these seemed to me to be the weirdest, or the most entertaining, but as I reread them now, I find that I can’t choose from among my children. I enjoyed having them all.

Well … most of them, anyway.
