Thinking about Thresholds
Mar. 20th, 2004 12:37 pmAkira - [Battle With The Clowns]--- So i had a dream, last night, of which i can now only remember part, because i woke up at 11.47, after crashing at 5.30, or there-abouts. What i do remember of it was me and my mom, in a house that was based off of the current house in which my grandmother lives. (Venetian Snares - [Einstein-Rosen Bridge]).
She's rushing, trying to get to work, and i don't feel like going to work, or wherever i'm supposed to be, so i tell her i'm staying home, she says ok. As i'm talking to her, i'm mixing up some kind of chocolate milk-based energry drink, from teh refidgerator, and i know that people have left the ingredients, there. I realise that i've made two large cups of it and, looking at it, i now that there's an entire breakfast of eggs bacon, and waffles, in each drink. I ask her if she wants one, and s he makes a face, and says no, because her stomach's been hurting. She rushes out the door, and says "Have fun, reaching the Threshold," and leaves. I look over, back into the house, and i see three or four other people, wating for me, with various cybernetic enhancements, on an Kenyan Plain. We are to Race, and when we race, one of us will reach the Threshold. We race, and one of the guys isn't even actually running; his cyber attachements are propelling him along, floating him. I'm running, and i run through the plain, back into the house, around the stairs, through a forest, under a log that goes over a stream, and into a football field. Standing in the football field, i look around, and i understand. I turn around, walk bak into the house, and tink about all of this, before it ever happens. I wake up
k-chan - [Jesus Was My Copilot One Snowy Afternoon]--- Yeah. Fucked up, but interesting. Thinking about my mom telling me about things like that, casually, and then the implications being larger. My family's done that for years and years. Symbolism, and all.
I should shower, and eat something, soon. Later.

mech_angel has alerted us to This.
This is why we don't eat weirdly named Mexican Candy. *nods*}
