Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, is a work which, strange, but true, I dreamed in full. I took the part of the mariner. The painting and, I believe, the dream have to do with my relationship with my mother. During a discussion with her after the dream, I found that my mother had memorized the Rime when she was a child. I had not read the Rime, that I know of, before the dream.
