The author describes this work as "[a] Flash animation, based on a text by Rachel Blau DuPlessis, that attempts to explore the ground between classic concrete poetry, avant-garde feminist practice, and "ambient" poetics (that's really just plain fun to watch)." In 2006 it was re-published in the ELO's Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 1, stating that the work is a "poet's playful meditation on the nature and function of language in kinetic two-dimensional space. Based on an appropriated text, Dreamlife is a work in which individual letters of the alphabet seem to take on their own distinct and lively characters."--From Electronic Literature Collection 1
