Anna Kampalaudo: David’s dream

The piece »David’s dream« was written under the influence of a fragment from the audio diaries of David Wojnarowicz.
»One night, he wakes up after a bad dream and switches on the machine to talk it out. He’s dreamt about
a horse being caught in some train tracks, its spine broken, unable to escape. ‘It was very much alive,’
he says, ‘and it was just so fucking upsetting to see this thing.’ He describes how he tried to free it, and how instead it was dragged into a wall and skinned alive. ‘I haven’t the faintest idea what it means for me. And I feel horror and a very deep sadness about something. Whatever the tone of the dream carries it was just so sad and so shocking.’ He says goodbye then and shuts off the machine«.
