00:00Is there a bridge between the world of dreams and the world of the awake?
00:07Gabriel Garcia Marquez gives his answer and it's Ojos de Perra Azul, which means eyes of a blue dog.
00:13As soon as I opened the box that contained this beautiful floral etero shirt,
00:18I immediately thought about the oil painting that was on the cover of the first copy of Ojos de Perra Azul
00:23that I ever owned when I was about 20 or 21 years old.
00:27So Ojos de Perra Azul is actually a very short story. It's about seven or eight pages long
00:31and it's about a man and a woman who meets in a room.
00:36But it soon becomes clear that this room exists within a dream.
00:39The two fall in love and they would love to meet each other in real life.
00:44So Ojos de Perra Azul is like a secret sentence that they come up with to recognize each other
00:49if they ever met in real life.
00:51She wakes up every morning and she remembers the sentence
00:54and she writes it down everywhere in case he was around to read it.
00:59He wakes up every morning, but he is simply the kind of person who cannot remember their dreams.
01:06Yeah, I like to think of Ojos de Perra Azul as like the scarlet letter of lovers.
01:11And we have it burned into our skin in the hope that someday someone will see it, will read it,
01:17will recognize it and they will recognize our face.
01:20So yeah, this was my favorite book. Ciao!
