The cave dream—the marvelous wooded cave that keeps recurring from year to year in my dreams—I rejoiced that I was back in the dream cave. I was in pajamas—to get to the entrance of the cave I had to climb down a wet slippery clay bank, which was thinly coated with dry leaves.
Charles Burchfield, October 3, 1941
