Tales from the Little Pink House

fever dreamers, goose girls, gander boys and Poppies

The fever dreamers are an informal collective of beings spread across time, coinciding though shared locations and thin places in the fabric of the universe. They may experience hints of each other at the edges of their perception, from the corners of their eyes, never solidifying into what we might call real or conjure up the confidence to announce out loud. As in a dream, gripped by fever, uncertain of the boundaries between the real and the unreal, they encounter whispers of each other wafting through their shared spaces. Fever liberates us from the shackles of “the real” and the limitations inherent to it. This is history brought into the present moment. Metaphysicians theorize that time exists all at once and not at all in the linear way that we imagine it, with the past behind us and the future ahead. All at once, fever dreamers exist in the same space. Their moments, and their stories, unfold without the boundaries and parameters of our perception.
