Very Different Montage Dreams.
Oct. 9th, 2003 02:26 pmA Perfect Circle - [The Noose]--- Bits and Pieces: Conventions, which were in buildings that were combinations of buildings from School, again, and Hotels, downtown. There are also music classes full of mentally challenged homeless people. In leaving one of my classes, angry, because of some fight i had with the people, inside, and needing to go back for my phone, i see that my Film History Teacher knows my old Mortal Questions teacher, and they're friends, and talked. (A Perfect Circle - [Blue]). I walk out of the room, around to the fourth floor lobby, and that's when i see the homeless people. Looking at one of the elevators with a back and front entrance, and then there are two banks of elevators, and the building has merged with the hotel. People are getting onto the elevator, and many of them are combinations of people. Whole bunch of us, going out, looking for food. Patrick makes a dramatic entrance into the elevator, and so on. Combinations of the Hyatt and the Hilton. People aren't able to agree on food, because we are all broke, and hungry, so Luke and i suggest Waffle House, cause there are about 20 of us. Everyone in the elevator is going. We go outside, and it's the front steps to Al's apartment, and a Street, not a parking lot, and no one wants waffle house. (A Perfect Circle - [Vanishing]). So we're all getting very upset, at no consensus.
We're in someone's apartment, possibly mine, and it's after the convention, but my Apartment is only my Room, a hallway, and a bathroom, kitchen, living room space. It looks like a Hotel room. There are two guys, there, and we haven't slept, yet. It's been about 24 hours, or more, because it's a convention, but they aren't going to leave, until i go to get in the shower. I don't like the thought of being in the shower, with these people still in my room, because i don't trust them, that much. So i'm stalling, and trying to get them to go, but they really like hanging out with me. One of them-- the one in charge, i believe-- brings me Pinnaple Juice, in what looks like bottle of the Fuze stuff. (A Perfect Circle - [A Stranger]). Eventually i get them to Go, and i took my shower.
I'm in the car, with Al, and we're driving down Briarcliff, to the part where it intersect with Ponce de Leon, only it's Much further down, than that. It's southeast, toward one of the parks., and, as we're crossing, next to the Paidea school, we see a Herd of Deer. There's at least fifteen of them, all in the Street, and Al says "Huh, I'd forgotten what baby deer looked like." (A Perfect Circle - [The Outsider]). And we're watching the deer, and two of the adolescents start fighting, trying to kill each other, in the middle of the Street, with cars coming, barreling at them. The other deer continue on their way, doing their own thing.
We're back at Al's place, and there are more people there. Rosie Devin, Elizabeth, Bob, Seth, me. But it's not Al's place, it's Seth's, and i have to spend the night, here, because we're moving the next day, and it's easier. I feel uncomfortable, sleeping here, and i don't want to be here, even though there's a room for me, and stuff. I stil haven't slept, at this point. (A Perfect Circle - [Crimes]). So we're hanging out, and Elizabeth wants people to make out with her, but not really. It's something that she's been told is a good mechanism to get over grief. So we start taking turns making out with her, and we're in the corner of the apartment, where, if it were still Al and Bob's place, there would be a pile of trash, waiting to be taken out.
I'm back in the Hotel/Aderhold Classrooms/Apartment. (A Perfect Circle - [The Nurse Who Loved Me]). Someone is shoiwing me their art, and there's a voice-over talking about how more companies need to use this person's work, when trying to get a message across, because there's something about them. And i know the person whose art it is, and it's
mech_angel. Some of it is on really stiff stock paper, and some of it is one napkins. It all tells variuos stories, and bits. In the Hotel, right now, is a convention, still, and another Giant Game of Risck, in the ball rooms, and i can Feel that happening. I'm reading the story, and i see that it's about someone Dreaming, and seeing their child start to eat them, and start to eat other people. But she still loves it, uncondtionally. The baby starts to eat other babies, and the Reader, can see Morpheus, in the background. (A Perfect Circle - [Pet]). He's watching, and so are we, and we're all erading this story, and actually in it, right next to the woman. She's hallucinating, and she's looking at her child, which looks like Hazel's nightmare baby, in "A Game of You," and she starts, in her Waking life, beating the child against tables, and the window, and we readers are appaled, but then we See the child. Even dead, it's pure evil, and wants to devour us. The woman has a break down, and starts carrying her now-dead infant around in her arms, and talking to it, talking to Us, even thoguh she doesn't know that we're there, and talking to Morpheus. And then she throws the child through the window, which is a 20-something-th floor window. She starts laughing hysterically, and follows it. Morpheus nods, and is gone. I look around, with the impression of
mech_angel fadding back out into our "Real World." (A Perfect Circle - [Lullaby]). I realise that this is my apartment/hotel room. I go back out into the "Real." We're sitting in my aprartment, now. I stare at the book, and
mech_angel and i stare at Each Other, for a while.
A Perfect Circle - [Gravity]--- I'm back in my class room, for Film History. Back at the beginning. I wake up
Ok, so chop all of that up, and put it into some kind of Intertwining machine, and have it all feel uniform, but distinct, and that's my dreams, last night. Now, let's look at what i did, last night, before bed: Wandered around with Elizabeth and Al, until very early morning, talked about Dragon Con, and many other things. All things in the dream, this morning, were things i talked about last night/this morning. Oh, and i forgot, at some part in the dream, i emailed my mother, about money stuff. Which i Forgot to do, last night, and was reminded to do, this morning, via dream. Also, i watched "Cannibal! The Musical," from 3-5 am. It was Good. Hmm... Yeah, i think of that dream as, among other things, a system-wide memory dump. Old attachemnets,a nd connotations, being viewed, and thrown away. Others being re-examined and kept. That part with every one making out with Elizabeth, in the place where trash would have been? Symbolic, but not in the "That Person is Garbage," manner. No no. Give it some thought. More than that.
And, now, i'm off to.... I dunno. Look at comics or somethin'.

REcurring [themed] dreams can definately teach a valuable lesson. I used to have a few, wehn i was much younger (read: "three and four"). Didn't make sense, till i was in my teens. Now, when i have them, the Themes and Feelings are similar, but not the actual events. Same effect, different means, added bonuses of learning through Multiple venues, that way. :)
Dream Well
