You may have played with the idea (as in a dream) that the entire world is a production of your imagination. It might seem spooky or lonely or egocentric, but never real. Wampler's piece takes that mental exercise and turns it into an experience. I would be curious to know of the many people who didn't get it, how many remember their dreams or believe that their dreams hold significance beyond the random cleaning of a tired subconscious mind. Wampler’s piece was like walking into David Lynch’s Red Room. On the surface its language seems babbled and insignificant but when reversed a slightly more cipherable world emerges and you are left in suspense- with suspicion of everyone around you.
