I often experience recurring dreams where I can take semiconscious control of the events as they unfold. In this particular dream, centred in a lush backyard forest, I anticipated large pots emerging from the volcanic clay underneath. I felt the porcelain pull between my fingers, visualised the saturated hues and I carried the weight of their big bellies in my arms.
