A couple months before I signed up here I stumbled on this website, how I have no clue, and promptly lost the link. Today I found the link buried in a text file I sent to myself:

Excerpt:

A Lesson in Dreams
Devices to be employed while traveling in sleep. Gestures of the hand, memorized cants, ideas of light, circular steps and methods of backtracking. The primary skill of dreams is that of ambuscade. A man named Drago Pentacost, finding himself alive in the twelfth century, was undoubtedly the greatest dreamer in recorded history. His manual, Psyche and Tools of Water, was only made in six copies, all of which were destroyed by the church, yet tales of his deeds can be found in church archives and relate to us a genius such as has seldom been equaled. It is said in dreams that one may request of someone a service and, if the request is stated properly, one may not be refused. Thus Pentacost built his home with the aid of crickets and weasels. He set a guard over himself by day with the aid of clouds. His way through thick fields was made easy by the bending of grass, the beckoning of wind. Indeed, he is said never to have walked up a hill, so kind was the ground to his passing. He made a compact in his last days and found a place in a deep turn where rows of trees made increased of morning. Is it known to you? For many have lost their way in this guess, that the shape of the land and light can make doors in the mind. Faring now on a ship out of storms and Zanzibar, I carve a figure out of bone, a man in a cloak. Of course, there is a compartment hidden beneath the cloak, and in it a slip of paper naming my successor. On a day like this anyone may be found or lost. Things happen with such ease I can’t describe.

Visual line of site is everything, is existance.
For a long time I've been intrigued by the idea of writing fiction that mimicked the experience of dreaming. One of the techniques I decided on was that new themes had to be introduced pretty often, as the brain darts around and introduces new people, objects, and situations. That's why I love the line "The primary skill of dreams is that of ambuscade" so much. There are little gems like this hidden throughout the odd narrative, but even without them the style makes it worth reading.
