Dream imagery compared to a two-by-four upside the head

[squeequeg]

After a long, stressful week, I dreamed last night that I was doing even more stressful things (running a con, attempting to feed half of the congoers, straightening out the other half's love lives). Then the entire cast of said dream stopped to sing "For Now," from the Avenue Q soundtrack, complete with choreography and multiple voice parts. I joined in on the last line: "Everything in life is only for now."

Thanks, subconscious. Not so big on subtlety, are we?

Hmmm, and I just dreampt that I returned to an avatar of my brother's high school on a mission to reach the swimming pool. On the lawn, I encountered two men wearing giant dragonfly kites and three or four women in white, petal-like dresses. I had to play a kind of formalized tag to get by them, waving my arms as though I was doing the breast stroke and then bowing. Then I set off across a field, with a monk and his son, in ankle deep snow that grew abruptly deeper, to waist height and then to chest height . . . and as I woke up, the child said Outwardly, he is prepared. Outwardly, so are you.

Yeah. At least the dragonflies were beautiful. Sky-blue.

Wow. That's both scary and beautiful.
