terribly low-content day... but dreams!
May. 1st, 2004 10:39 pmI didn't do too much of anything today... I slept, I ate... well, I worked out with the paternal unit a bit, but that was all, really.
But I remember two dreams from this morning, and I'd meant to post them...
So in the first dreamlet, I was in this small bowl-shaped valley, and I was looking up over the edge, and there was supposed to be snow on the other side. And there was... so I pulled myself up (it was really steep), and I slid down the other side -- and I held on, so I wouldn't go all the way down, because all the snow had halfway-melted, and it had taken on this slushy consistency (like on the inside of an Icee machine, almost exactly), and it was rushing around at this tremendous speed... and I think I pulled myself back up to the other side. There may have been a snowball fight or something going on, but I forgot...
The other dream, I remember better. I was walking around on a greenish area not unlike The Burger Bowl, and this guy came up to me, and I recognized him as one of my students... and he said, "Did you get my email? I wanted you to regrade my homework, but you didn't do it." And I looked at him, and I said, "I went through all the emails, and I regraded all the homeworks." But he persisted, saying that I didn't do his, getting pretty loud about it -- I said "the semester's over! I'm not a TA anymore!!". He continued complaining. I proceeded to get really super pissed at him, yelling and cursing, then shoving him over... and it all felt surprisingly natural. I got control of my anger, then walked off... and then it became clear to me, in my dream-logic mind, that I had to get to my Ethics class (which I took in the Fall, in real life). Only the Ethics class was known to happen in different buildings on different days, and it was hard to find out which was when... I found Jason W, sitting on the edge of the Burger Bowl, and he told me that if I climbed this edge and went through this little gully, then I'd get there -- but my memory would be erased as I went through.
So obviously, I said, "Well, I choose to keep my memory. I'll just fly there." And I reached out my hands, and I had this huge non-physically-present feathered wings that stretched out a Long Way, and I pulled myself up through the air (this was odd, because normally, I fly as if I'm swimming...), towards some power lines... and I maneuvered through them, although it looked like I was going to get tangled up. And then I was on top of this tall building in the middle of The City, and I knew that my Ethics class was in that building, and I needed to get inside. But I also knew that a) Dr. Ribarsky was teaching the class (he taught it in real life, and he's not my favourite instructor in the world), and b) the building and the class were largely controlled by a demon called Zool.
There was a box on top of the building, and another guy who wanted to get in, and we were trying to figure out how to use it so we could slip in through the roof. And he said "you're pretty thin -- maybe you can get through here", pointing to this tiny hole in the box, like an inch radius. I tried squeezing in, hoping in my dream-logic that my body would compress down so I could fit through... but that wasn't working super-well, and he wouldn't be able to come with me because he wasn't as thin. So we opted to try to break through the top of the box, which had become the head of the demon... and we were punching it, trying to beat it into submission, so that we could slide down into the building, through its mouth, which had long pointy teeth and was situated on its face vertically...
... make of all that what you will.
