Charles E. Burchfield's Dreams, Journals, October 3, 1941

Dreams

1. Working for Bustard – I in company with 2 or 3 other clerks go A.W.O.L. for 2 days when he was away on a trip. Discovered, we are deprived of certain privileges. Ashamed, I plan to apologize.

2. The cave dream – the marvelous wooded cave that keeps reoccurring from year to year in my dreams. I rejoiced that I was back in the dream-cave. I was in pajamas; to get to the entrance to the cave I had to climb down a wet sloppy clay bank, which was thinly coated with dry leaves.

3. A huge enclosed amphitheater – mural done by some decorator with incredible speed – short scenes with great empty area – (one a jungle scene with rampant elephants).
