Mr. Premise
The Living Force
Here's a weird dream (hilarious in retrospect but disturbing at the time) I had last Sunday night. I've been too busy to post it since then, so I hope I haven't forgotten too many important details.
I found myself somehow condemned to death. I don't remember being condemned, just that I already had been. So then I went to a self-service, do-it-yourself execution center located in a somewhat run-down strip mall. There was no staff there, so I went in and started preparing my own lethal injection or something. I was really sad to have to die, and I didn't remember what my offence was, but I proceeded to prepare my own execution! Then I realized I hadn't yet said goodbye to my kids and began to feel really bad for them, when I realized that no one was there, I wasn't in custody and I could just walk out. So I did, but still was worried about my "conviction." Then I woke up.
It seems to be really significant, but I haven't been able to come up with any interpretation except that it seems to represent our situation prior to "waking up." As Terence McKenna once said, "we often do the work of The Man for The Man." We make ourselves "food" and then slaughter, butcher and cook ourselves. What a deal for the eaters!
It also reminds me of when I once saw a bunch of sheep being sheared. The sheep were rounded up, brought into a barn to be sheared then put into a big pen. Once that day's sheep were all sheared (they were huddled together in the pen shivering) the ranch hand opened the gate of the pen to let them go free. But, since they were sheep, they just stood there huddled until the ranch hand grapped the leader sheep and physically threw it out of the pen. Then the leader sheep ran away and all the follower sheep ran after the leader bounding up and down for joy.
Any thoughts?
