August 21, 2008 The Slumber of My Fears
My dreaming has been troubled of late and last night, they seemed to want to manifest themselves all in one go. I wouldn’t say these were my biggest fears but they certainly things that I feel averse to or just don’t like.
First segment was me riding a scooter. Yep, I hate automatic bikes but this particular scooter was rigged to have an exceptionally high visor that blocked your view, forcing you to crane over the top. The segment ended with me on this scooter chasing a similar scooter up a ramp in an abandoned car park which felt like it was in London. My fear of Quadrephenia perhaps?
I guess the visor being blacked out symbolized my own inability to see the future and economically, a scooter is less than a bike. The chase just represented the chase for economic stability and freedom. It’s all a game.
The second segment featured me at my girlfriend’s new apartment. That in itself is not a fearful thing. What was scary was that the TV console kept moving and being shifted around. Not quite sure what that meant. Also, ants. It seemed a legion of ants had found some spot on her carpet and I just couldn’t find the bug spray. Then she threw a party and my (well, ours now) MacBook was put outside on the balcony. Yep, you guessed it, it fell down three stories and was pretty much smashed. It’s a fear – who wouldn’t worry about the computer being destroyed utterly – but did it really manifest something greater?
The last segment was me and a toothache. My tooth was about to fall out it was so painful. There were other elements to this segment but I can’t remember them clearly. It is probably because when I woke up this morning and brushed my teeth, I did draw blood and one tooth did ache a little. It’s still there but I really need to go see a dentist soon.
