‘Dream Delivery’ Service

Times Dispatch had a recent article on this unique, growing business.

Here’s the first portion of the article, click above for the whole thing.

If you see a guy on a bicycle riding around Richmond in the middle of the night, dropping off dreams on people’s doorsteps, don’t be alarmed.
It’s just a dream delivery service.
And Mathias Svalina is the dream deliveryman.
Svalina is a poet who’s returning to Richmond to deliver dreams by hand in the middle of the night. The dreams are surrealist, prose poems that cover everything from drinking a beer with actor Tom Skerritt to knitting a complicated sweater.
“I try to write a unique dream for everybody every day,” Svalina said from his temporary digs in Oregon Hill. “On a good day, I can write up to 40 dreams a day. Then I deliver them from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.”
