Predicting the date of release for my book based on dream

Why I Hope the Book Will Not Be Available Until February: Reasons
Large & Larger

I had actually hoped the book would not be available before February, but there is no succinct and simple way to tell you why. For those of
you who\'ve read the first chapter of my book (available on my web site), you\'d understand that there is a site here in the D.C. area, a
nexus of coincidences which I worked into the plot of my novel. This site also happens to be about 2 miles from one of the psychology
programs on which the book is based, ground zero for many of the actual events to which the book testifies. The following four dates
present the cardinal points on a time-map of sorts. If the hypothalamus can be said to regulate such basic functions as body
temperature, than I have to wonder whether there isn\'t an organ at work, analogous to a compass, sending me in and out of harm\'s way on a curious schedule. What follows is actually a very mild example of the patterns from the "You-just-can\'t-write-stuff-like-this" file.
That\'s what I like about Fireflies. It provides an obscure glimpse of a script beyond imagination. Kind of gets you thinking about a
psychological equivalent of DNA, perhaps not unlike Jung\'s "collective unconscious" and "individuation vis-a-vis a
personal myth"

August, 1984: I awaken from an August nightmare I would never forget.


October, 1988: Nightmare is realized, unfolding across a sequence of
events on a Saturday morning in October. I leave the city.


April, 1998: I learn that I would be returning to the city, as one of
the few schools in the country offering clinical respecialization
programs for research PhDs admits us. (I later withdrew from the
program under political pressure, but my wife continued to finish her
second doctorate).


February (?), 2004: This is when I am anticipating the formal release
of my book. This would be spectacular. It would come at a perfect
time if I consider the resources available to me in this month, and
when I consider it would also mark the month in which my wife
completes her licensing exam.


As you can plainly see, the February, 2004 date is pure speculation. (UPDATE: Book was released in February). Well, it\'s more of an
educated extrapolation. My book is due to be released shortly, and I suspect it will be February; given the first three plotted points,
February is the fourth and only missing set of coordinates in this square-shaped script. There seems to be a symmetry here. 1984, 1988,
1998, 2004.

Consider the following:

[A] INNER JOIN VS. OUTER JOIN

1988 and 1998 are 10 years apart
1984 and 2004 are 20 years apart

[B] If we consider the INNER JOIN months, April (98) and October (88) are six months apart (diametric opposite points on the calender).
October (88) is when I decided I would be leaving D.C. April (98) is when it became clear I would return.

[C] If we consider the OUTER JOIN months, August (84) and February (04) are six months apart (diametric opposite points on the
calender). February also happened to be traditionally the worst month in my graduate school career, hence the title of Chapter 5, "28 Days Till Tomorrow."

[D] The numbers corresponding to the months involved are 2 (Feb), 4 (Apr), 8 (Aug), and 10 (Oct), with 2 months separating February and April, and two months separating August and October.

[E] Something tells me that the numbers associated with the years themselves (84; 88; 98; 04) bare some sort of improbable similarity
with the numbers associated with the months: (8-84), (10-88), (4-98), (2-04). An increase in 2 months separates the 8 (of 84) and the 10
(of 88), while a decrease of two months separates the 4 (of 98) and the 2 (of 04).

Some with metaphysical sensibilities, like a numerologist or alchemist, might be inclined to muse over the math involved here.
Okay, so I will tell you that I am working on it and will leave it at that!

Without going into the details of Chapter 1 -- and its subsequent connection to Chapters 6 and 10 -- I will say that I was
thinking of reconstructing the \'walk\' featured in Chapter 1 (the October, 1988 realization of the August 1984 nightmare) and then from
there continuing to the school (April, 1998), thus connecting the four points in this "synchronistic quad."
