the dream of the blind



H, do you feel electricity in the air? must be a storm coming
Sorry B, i don't know how electricity feels like

you're right H, but some things you just learn to understand without doing or be told to
take blind people...
an old man i once met - a really old man, with a old skin and a very old beard to get along with it - ask me a question i could never understand: could blind men dream?
i told him yes, for sure, everybody could dream. it'l like sensing the storms, when you sleep your mind goes away and makes its shining or dark stories together. the dream is something that happens on the back of your mind and that brings together, without you sensing it, memories of reality
it's like you see reality trough an unconscious mind, that you can't quit remember, and i told the folk that blind people have also that unconscious part of the mind and, therefore, they could surely dream

clever answer B. by the way, the old man was also satisfied with that?

No! after i stopped talking he just stood up, cursed something at me, and left. before living the bar we were both having that bourbon, an old dog (perhaps even older than the old man) joined him at the door, and the old man start following the sounds of the poor animal an sensing the walls with his hands. perhaps he was mad because he couldn't dream. 

B, i can feel the storm now. let's find some shelter
