Revealing the Dream Weaver's Wheel

Charli Mills, The Dreaming Crone, launched an art installation at Digital Bloom August 1, 2026 and collected opening lines to dreams. She's mixed these dream fragments into a collective 4'x4' Dream Weaver's Wheel, stream of consciousness Poem of the World's Dreaming, and used the fragments as prompts to a new series of 99-word stories. The completed project will be displayed at the 2026 Keweenaw Interactive Art Walk on September 26, 2026 and in the commemorative book the event will publish in December, 2027.

Incinerator flames outside the window of a messy AirBnb makes me think the house is on fire but it’s only the toilet.

Enjoy your day! You are precious!

I am at church with my family and doing a divination practice.

I dream of a better political climate.

Clothes lay strewn across the floor in need of folding; they are not my clothes.

I write, “Professor Martinez” on the white board of a high school classroom, but I teach university…

I am with my best friend, at dusk, heading toward a stream and we are having a great time and don’t notice the bear.

Granny Irma is tucked under Poppy’s arm and he is beaming, looking out at his family on the dance floor and she is gazing at him with a sweet smile on her face.

They return the dog they stole because she is such a chaos monkey.
