...and such a well expressed dream. There's no reason to waste anybody's
time analyzing or interpreting. The meanings are clear.
I've also had a handful of futuristic dreams. But in the one similar to
yours, the metropolis wasn't in the heavy, industrial deco style of the
20s film. Instead, it had kind of the dark grotesqueness of a Goya
etching.
In the dream there were dead bodies lying on the sidewalk. The cause of
death wasn't violent... it seemed like they just expired and collapsed.
They were in various stages of decay and people were just ignoring
them... stepping over them or shoving them aside like dead leaves. As I
looked closer, there seemed to be a strange residue in and around the
flesh and bones... like drugs and other chemicals.
That's all I remember.
As erie as it was, it was a dream... not a nightmare. That is, like you,
I felt a sense of purpose. There was no fear.
One thing I'll never forget is the setting. If any of you have seen the
surrealistic German silent film, "The Cabinet of Doctor Calagari," (made
around 1909 I believe)... add a touch of Goya... and bathe it all in a
strange, green amber light... you might get the picture.
Yes, dreams are very personal and hard to describe, but sometimes when
we talk about them, we connect. Thank you, Susan.
I've had other less "heavy" dreams that seemed to be just dreams for
there own sake... the poetry of a resting mind... those wonderful,
flipped out, phantasmagoric romps through the looking glass. These are
the unexpected, colorful flowers that pop up in Nothingland.
In the morning we wake up and trample them down with self styled
psychoanalysis and those damn "dream interpretation" books... (sigh).
Perhaps because we strangle our own gentler, whimsical dreams so often,
a bolder, more obvious sleep vision (like Susan's) must occasionally
surface... I don't know. I do thank Goddess that they happen. We do,
after all, live in a Metropolis. And the dreams that reflect it, however
strange or disturbing, seem to reflect our place in it and helps give us
identity in this big, amazing story that's forever unfolding.
Wishing You All Many Restful Nights
And a Baffling Patch of Dream Blossoms
Every Morning,
Paul
