The Living Force
Two nights ago I had a dream but I can only remember parts of it.
The dream had been progressing for a while in a house but the first part that I remember was that I was in a small town (very similar to a town I used to live in) and had walked into a outdoor 'tent' type space in a parking lot with a small table and some chairs set up to meet someone. The tent-ish thing was light and airy, but the meeting felt slightly secretive, in a way. The guy I was meeting turned out to be a humanized version of what looked like Yoda. We spoke quietly for a bit, I think, and then he left. While he was away, an image flashed in my mind of the head of the Yoda guy but instead of the usual greenish skin colour, it was a bright red and had the title 'THE YAR' underneath it. He returned and handed me a can of pop. In my actual life, I do not drink pop and this translated into my dream but I didn't want to throw it away in front of him so I made some excuse about having to leave. I left and walked downtown on the sunny day. There were a few people around and there was a feeling of vibrancy and liveliness in the air.
I next found myself in the old high school I attended. It was torn down 10 or so years ago now but in my dream there were a few people walking around in the hallways. I decided to head to the bathroom to dump the pop when I decided to take a quick look inside the gym. I opened the door and could see through another doorway on my left into an office where a guy was typing something and didn't notice me. I then scanned the gym to see that there were many tables and chairs set up in in the centre of the gym in front of the stage covered by a black curtain. The tables had black table clothes on them and red chairs. The room was only half-lit. The gym was being prepared for a graduation ceremony but was not ready yet. There was no one in the room.
I left and went to the washroom to dump my can of pop. When I got there, I looked at the can. I don't remember the name of the product but I think it was a white or silver can with blue print. In real life I always look at the ingredients list on a new product and that translated into my dream as well. There were several ingredients but I only remember the first one: 'Low Sky', written in the blue print. For some reason I decided to open the can a try it. It seemed to be a waste to just dump it so I opened it and took a drink. I took a few more before, I think, I woke up.
'THE YAR'- Not much of an idea as to what it means. The only thing I could come up with is 'yar' backwards is 'ray'. I remember the whole day before the dream, I was not in a great mood. I felt 'atmospherically oppressed' (we've had 2 weeks of about -25C to -31C) but I don't know if this had anything to do with 'the ray'.
'Low Sky'- My mind was rolling this one around for awhile. What a weird ingredient. I could not figure it out until I was making lunch and an old memory faded into view of a SNES video game I played a few times called 'Ogre Battle'. I loved playing that game but didn't get to play it much but it's the only place where I can pinpoint that combination of words that makes any sense. It's a strategy RPG game where you have to create 'units' of characters to do battle with the baddies. (Link) What is relevant is that every character has a 'terrain type'; eg: some are 'plains' characters and so fight best on 'plains' terrain. Other types of terrain are snow, forest, shallows, swamp, mountain, ocean, high sky and low sky. Now, there are many different characters that are tied to the same terrain type. The ones for 'low sky' are (male units) Hawk Man, Eagle Man, Raven Man, Imp, Demon, Devil, (female units) Angel, Cherubim, Seraphim, Faerie, Pixie, Sylph, (undead units) Ghost and Phantom. Ok. So what? Yeah, I'm not sure where to go with this. It might be nothing. But why did I drink it? It could be that 'low sky' means something completely different.
'Graduation'- There was an 'anticipation' feel about it all.
