DREAM: Grand and Hearter

I dreamed I was in a theatre, watching run-throughs of a play being directed by a scientist. We went back to his office. He was a senior guy, so had a whole little peninsula of the building, with windows on three sides, up on the third floor. It looked like he'd been there for 20 years. Old books, musty papers, science apparatus. The weird thing was, almost 2/3 of his office was covered with artist's materials. He had acrylic paints, canvasses; you'd think he was an artist.

From there it morphed to me walking down the street, being stalked by two good-looking brothers in their 20s who were going to attack me. I turned and talked them out of it. We all decided to get in shape. We'd start with the abs. Grand, the blonde extrovert brother decided to join the national luge team, to do his abs workout. Hearter, the dark introvert brother decided to join a physical theatre doing puppetry in Krakow, Poland. I was on the treadmill at the gym. I woke up INCREDIBLY jealous of Krakow brother.

===============================

Yet another in the series of science-and-art-converging dreams. Only they're merging -- for the first time the scientist IS the artist. There's something significant about the brother's names, Grand and Hearter. I notice, Hearter sounds a lot like Harder.

There's also something about 20; the scientist has been there 20 years, the brothers are in their 20s. Or maybe 20-20 is the kind of art-science vision I'm developing. And the lose-weight program at Microsoft is called 20-20. Hmm. So it's about integrated clarity.
