I am crawling through snow, there is a fog or light drizzle which makes everything look grey. I crawl forwards, passing dead plants and rocks. I encounter 3 blue Hares each sitting up, freezing and fixing me with one bright eye.
There are two sheep. I pass them while driving, sitting in the back seat I see them clearly. The only thing I cannot focus on are their faces. Similar to when he tries to see Clementines new boyfriends (Elija Wood) face, but in his memory there is nothing there, from the movie - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
The Mountain
A Bear and an Elk climb a mountain. Set up camp at the top and after the sun has set they stargaze until it gets late, then they snuggle up in their tent. There is a giant crow flying over the land. He is made up of images, changing with each flap of his wings. Sometimes he lets the images go and they fly away behind him.
The Fox Lady
There was a woman who lived in the forest who went out to collect wood kindling everyday. On one of these days she was concentrating on gathering sticks from the forest floor, there had been a bog storm that night. As she looked up she noticed a small fox sitting not one meter away from her. This was strange, as foxes don't normally come so close to humans. As she looked at the fox an owl who-who'd in a nearby tree. She looked up to see where the owl was and noticed that further in the valley men were making their way up through the forest. Usually they just passed through, she had always hid and no one had ever spotted her. This time she had been so wrapped up in her collecting that the men would have surely found her. She had the odd feeling that the fox had warned her somehow. The Boy with a Glass Eye
I’m in a labyrinth, made up in part of hedges and stones. There is a little red haired boy with a glass eye holding my hand and leading me the right way. There are people following us but I cannot look back so do not see who they are. We get to the center of the labyrinth, and there right in the middle is a staircase leading down into another continuing labyrinth under the earth. There are obstacles and tricks that all move out of our way and then snap back into place after we’ve passed. It goes on and on. We never run but we always walk fast. And we are never alone. The Sacred Cloak
There are many different galaxies. Each galaxy is really a person who wears a cloak made of stars. The stag galaxy cloak wearer and the bear galaxy cloak wearer fall in love. But to be together they have to shed their cloak, which would mean that galaxy is extinguished. This can never happen so the bear and the stag will always dream of being together. But he is my friend - said the girl in the red hood
This dream is more of a concept; that Red Riding Hood was friends with the Wolf. The Wolf wore a pelt coat so he would not stand out and Little Red Riding Hood was in fact 'little', a roughly 6 year old, innocent child (for some reason in my dream the child was Indonesian). This dream seemed to be my minds reinterpretation of the movie IRobot, there was a girl who was made of wood who had to promise something to the giant computer (who simply had the face of a joker looking over everyone). She had to promise the way Sunny had to promise the professor that he would do as the professor asked even if it broke the first rule of robots.
Sleeping Trees
There is a picnic on a hill where the grass is soft and the sun is warm. After eating a mysterious fruit that a member of the party found they all fall asleep, and in their slumbers small trees rise from their silhouettes. These trees food is emotions, ambitions, fears, desires and music. The sleepers lay on that hill while their trees branches sway in the breeze. The Man with Horns
There once was a man who grew horns, he was a very kind and reserved man. But he was misunderstood and mistreated by all around him for it is human to fear what you do not understand or control. So he went to live alone up in the mountains, wanting nothing more than to have someone to share his days with. Someone to play cards with at night next to the fire or someone to laugh with on the sunny hillside with while tending his goats. But no one from the villages dared climb the mountain for legend told that a monster with horns lived up there. My Friend the Egg
Believe it or not this was not a morbid dream. It was about a little girl who had befriended an egg. This egg went along everywhere and because it got cold sometimes the girl crafted a nest for the egg. This picture is of the girl at the playground with her friend on the swing next to her. Burdens
I am following a woman through the park. It's a warm and bright day. Everyone around me carries their burdens with them, visible for all to see. One man has a photograph of himself naked strapped to his chest (he is large and is doing a classic surprised one hand over his groin the other covering his chest pose). Another man is carrying a giant clock on his belt and it bumps against his leg as he walks. A girl passes us and she has a necklace of dead poppy flowers. An old woman covered in tattoos is sitting on a bench enjoying the sun, I look closer and notice that all her tattoos are words, insults that she has used in her life against others. A teenage boy hastily runs past hiding a wheel of cheese under his shirt that has 'rock on' printed on it in pink floral writing. I look closer at the woman I am walking behind, her shoulders are bent forward and her head drags. She has an artful nest made out of her hair. It is piled on top of her head and at the very crown are 5 small eggs. The hair seems to have swallowed her ears and forehead, creeping further than it should. I shudder imagining the hair taking over her entire face. But it is still a nice day so I shake off those bad thoughts and wander on. |
