Therefore, this is how Patti Smith’s pupae-birds found their final clothing under the shape of crystal celestial butterflies.

However, I respected the description Peter Reich gives of his father when, in his dream, he finally finds him aboard the gigantic "EA" ("Flying Saucers" in Reichian parlance) :

He was wearing a new uniform made of silky blue, with the spinning wave symbol across his chest. On his shoulders were general’s stars, only these were real stars, five on each side, glowing and sparkling.
(Peter Reich - A Book of Dreams)

We like Birdland.

Patti Smith, Alfred Hitchcock, Peter and Wilhelm Reich, Mitch, Lydia and Cathy Brenner, Melanie Daniels and Annie Hayworth bear witness that we do, before the final curtain drops up there in the stars.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon.
Patti Smith
Early Work, 1970-1979

I followed Patti Smith’s word.
Thanks to her extraordinary Birdland, I did abandon myself to a dream, itself part of a dream, which in its turn was only the reflection of another dream.

Because All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream.
