Subscriptions

My name is Mathias Svalina. I’m a writer. For much of 2018 I will be writing & delivering dreams to subscribers in various American cities. From mid-January to Mid-February the Dream Delivery Service will be based in San Diego.

I write the dreams every day & deliver them: hand deliver before dawn via bike to subscribers in a four-mile radius of my home base in each city, & by mail to others.

Subscription fees (per month):

Mail delivery: $45+postage=$60 / Bike delivery: $45.

Daily nightmares cost an extra $3.75.

10% of all subscription fees will be donated to Planned Parenthood in the state where I'm based that month.

Any thing can intrude in a dream & it's just like Well, yeah, of course, whereas intrusions in reality-logic are difficult & cause rupture & require processing & understanding. In the dream every new thing emits tendrils of meaning & sympathy to help the whole cohere. The stumble becomes the first step to flight, the stupid a means of profundity, the natural estranging..."
