 私は大学生の頃から夢の記録を取り続けていた。睡眠中に見た景色や物語を忘れない裡にノートにメモを取った。傍からは狂気じみたように見えるかもしれない。見た夢の光景を何十年も毎日書き続けているというのはちょっとどうかしている、と誰かに言われたとしても、それはその通りであり、彼または彼女がそう言いたくなるのも、常識的に考えて仕方ないことだと思われる。
 幼児の頃から謎の夢が気に掛かって仕方がないことがあり、丁度二十歳頃から、見た夢を文章で書き付ければ、何となく心の靄が少し晴れるようなことが分かった。
 夢の記憶、心に引っ掛かった情景や、不定型で曖昧な、霧の中にあるようなぼんやりとした景色、言葉、人々。霧と靄の中にあるそれらの光景は記憶の断片など、些細な何かを切っ掛けに一瞬で晴れる。夢を思い出すまでの経過は地面を掘って温泉を探し当てるようなもので、掘り当てて噴出すればあとはひたすら流れ作業のようなものだ。順を追ってノートに言葉でメモをする。それで終わり。
 およそ一般に「生産性」と呼ばれるものと縁遠い行為に思われるが、私にはそれは必要な行為なのだった。

 There didn’t seem to be much that couldn’t be output to stable diffusion.
 I have kept a record of my dreams since I was a college student. I made notes in a notebook so that I would not forget the sights and stories I saw in my sleep. It may seem crazy to some, but I have been writing down my dreams every day for dozens of years. If someone were to say that I was a bit crazy for writing down the scenes of my dreams every day for decades, he or she would be right, and it would seem to be common sense that he or she would be tempted to say so.
 Ever since I was a toddler, I have had mysterious dreams that have been bothering me, and since I was just about 20 years old, I have found that if I write down the dreams I have had in writing, it somehow clears the haze in my mind a little.
 Dream memories, scenes that stuck in my mind, and hazy landscapes, words, and people that were indefinite and vague, as if they were in a fog. These scenes in the fog and haze are cleared in an instant by something trivial, such as a fragment of memory. The process of recalling a dream is like digging for a hot spring in the ground, and once it has been dug and gushed out, the rest of the process is just a continuous stream of work. I write down the sequence of events in a notebook with words. That’s it.
 It may not seem like the kind of activity that is generally associated with “productivity,” but for me, it was a necessary act.
