During
my decades in the desert,
I dreamed of walking the streets
of a major city again. |
 |
Tears came,
when I thought of
finding a
bookshop in a hidden
cove of the city. |
Portland, OR.
In downtown Stumptown today,
I recall researchers
can turn walking or running on and off by stimulating the
pons. The PGO system...tells the sensory part of the visual
brain the Latin Quarter was
an area of dusty used bookshops, avant-garde art galleries, antiques
shops, dealers in ethnological artifacts, and the tiny cramped
offices of radical publishing houses and small presses specializing
in experimental
literature and what the motor part is doing, and it uses acetylcholine to relay that
information. What the visual brain does with the acetycholine
signals during REM sleep to hallucinate the
felt-sense of those dreams, realizing that, unlike in this reality,
my legs never tired.
