Meshes of the Afternoon

I chose the title after the Maya Deren film which involves a woman falling asleep and having a surrealistic dream sequence. I was inspired by the idea that perhaps our dreams are intermingling as we sleep together, and also that Queenie is a frequent character and alter ego in my dreams. Jungian psychoanalyst Marie-Louise von Franz says that in women's dreams, the cat often is "an image of something feminine, independent and sure of itself... It is feminine and, at the same time, very firm, very identical with itself. The cat is not very amiable, but very true to itself."
