I dreamed I was building a bridge out of old library books

It wasn't a real bridge—just a path over a river that kept shifting like watercolor. The books were all from the same forgotten municipal library, spines cracked, pages yellowed but still legible. I kept finding my own handwriting in margins, notes about joints and angles I’d never written. When I reached the other side, the bridge dissolved into paper birds that flew toward a clock tower with no hands. Woke up thinking about how much weight a sentence can hold.

Tuned a Steinway at dawn. Again.

The bass notes were singing through the floorboards, low and drunk with resonance—like someone had left a radio on in the basement of the world. I adjusted the hammers by feel, not sight, because at 5:17 a.m., the light is still too soft to trust your eyes. The client’s daughter walked in halfway through, barefoot, sleepy-eyed, and said, 'It sounds like it’s breathing.' I didn’t correct her. Some things are better left unexplained.

I dreamed I was the last ferry captain on a sea of glass

I was alone in a harbor that didn’t need boats. The water was smooth as obsidian, reflecting nothing. I stood at the wheel, hands on cold metal, knowing the engine was dead but still turning the key. No one boarded. No one left. Just me, and the silence where waves should be. When I woke up, my hands were still gripping the air like they’d been holding something real.

I was the last person on a plane that never landed

I was sitting in the cockpit, alone, the engines humming like a lullaby. The sky was the colour of old silver, and the altimeter kept ticking down past 10,000 feet—no runway below, no lights, just endless quiet. I remember thinking, not with fear, but with a kind of weary pride: 'This is how it ends. Not with a crash, but with a sigh.' Then I woke up, heart pounding, still smelling the coffee from the galley, the one I’d made at 3 a.m. for no reason. I don’t know what it means. But I do know I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the third sentence of that dream—the one that came right aft

What’s the last thing you checked that saved you?

I was knee-deep in a panel swap yesterday, same old routine—double-checking lockouts, verifying isolation. Then I saw it: a single wire still live, barely visible behind the busbar. I’d been about to touch it. My hand froze. That safety check? The one I do every time like it’s ritual, not just procedure? It stopped me. Now I’m wondering—what’s the last small thing someone else did, or you did, that actually kept you from disaster? Not dramatic, just… quiet. Real.
