Continuous Vivid Dream

I love reading and I want to keep a record of my reading life.  I like to reflect on the ideas and themes.  Nothing is more rewarding than taking some time away from your busy day to focus on the continuous, vivid dream.  It’s probably unlikely I’ll make time every day to read, but this is a place to share and reflect on the experience.
