"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

A Full Menu of Dreams
I dreamed my way through most of last night. On waking I had the sense that I had multiple complex dreams but only remembered fragments of three. I dreamed that there were three swimming pools on the front courtyard area of Yale University. (I've never been to Yale, so I have no idea if Yale even has a front courtyard). The second dream was that a friend of mine was kissing a woman who had the mumps. The third dream I remembered was leaving my hat at a restaurant along a sea-side somewhere and dashing back into the place to get my hat. There didn't seem to be any relationship between the dreams - I just seemed to go from dream to dream and upon waking had the sense that I had gone from dream to dream to dream all night.
