hummingwolf | Another dream

Here's another one I remember from last night:

Standing at the edge of a rough wooden balcony, looking down at the grassy plot of ground a little too far below. Buffy the Vampire Slayer comes into the scene, jumps off the balcony, then looks up and calls to her kid sister Dawn to follow. Dawn's voice is heard saying "I--I don't want to, Buffy, it's too high. Can't you bring me that ladder over there?"

Buffy, impatient, tells Dawn it's time she learns to do things on her own. Reluctantly, Dawn comes into view and jumps.

Camera follows Dawn down to the ground where she lands hard. So hard that at first it's difficult to tell what's being shown, but the view resolves into a Dawn who's been so compressed that all you see is her head, a leg about three inches long, and one very long, flat foot she's trying to get a precarious balance on. Dawn screams and whimpers, "Buffy! I can't do anything! I can't go anywhere! It hurts... it hurts..." Dawn looks up to where Buffy's face should be, loses her balance entirely and topples over backwards with her wide eyes staring upward.

What Dawn is staring at turns out not to be Buffy, but a demon with large, orangish feet covered with little horns. One horny foot comes down and stomps on Dawn, then prehensile toes fashion the goo-who-used-to-be-Dawn into the shape of a LifeSaver candy, complete with the raised lettering.

Commercial break. I woke up before the next scene.

Please don't analyze this. I don't want to know.

jeepers creepers. what a horrific dream. (is it an 'orrific dream? am i sinking fast? could a person be so mean, as to laugh and laugh? oh gosh, now i have tears for fears stuck in MY head!)

philly isn't the worst, he's just a hack. what's he singing in there? i heard that "you'll be in my heart" song yesterday while out, and i was singing along. sometimes i can't help it!

Nah, this one wasn't horrific so much as just odd. I was only watching TV, after all. The other one where I was talking to a winter coat was, for some reason, a nightmare. Wish I could remember why.

Phil's singing "Follow You, Follow Me," I guess because Buffy wanted her sister to follow her. Or maybe because Phil wants to annoy the heck out of me. I don't actually hate Phil--I love the song "We Said Hello, Goodbye." I even rated it 100 on Launchcast. :-)

i don't think i know that one! i'll listen to your station later on today. i have to head out into the gray in a little while. i shouldn't have called phil a hack. i used to adore him (a guilty admission), bought many albums. his video with genesis for the song Mama sent me into conniption fits over and over. there's a genesis song i always stop in my tracks for when it happens to pop up on some store's loudspeaker system: "oh no, not this confused again! oh no, not the same mistake again. you're taking it all too hard, you're taking it all too hard." maybe i just tuned out after sussudio...

If I remember correctly, "We Said Hello Goodbye" was a bonus track on the CD version of No Jacket Required. It never was a single, so it never was a hit; but a couple of the local radio stations played it anyway. Great piano.

Don't worry about calling Phil a hack--you know he's been called worse! Besides, I'm the one who was desperate to get him out of my head earlier.

Oh, I've rated far too many songs for it to be likely that you'll hear any specific one today. You're more likely to hear something by the Carpenters, who I know you love so much. ;-)

it's funny -- karen carpenter's vocal range was warm and low, and i liked a lot of her singing, but they didn't always choose well. some of the songs are so *dumb*. not as dumb as toni tennille's songs, but still. "merry christmas darling" was on in a store the other day, and i remarked on what a shame it is the way she died. poor thing, it would've been ok if she'd just let herself gain a few pounds.

Hahaha!

Okay. Sorry you don't want me to analyze this but I feel compelled. You got the phoenix a while back in one of your quizzes, I think. This is transformation big time. I think the life saver is a flotation device to help keep you afloat till you get to safety. Never mind what it is made out of!

Well, if you're going to analyze it anyway, it's fair to point out that both the LifeSaver in this dream and the winter coat in the half-remembered nightmare I wrote about earlier were both made out of people. I wish I could remember more of the nightmare... I get those infrequently enough that each one seems like it could be important.

Anyway, what do feet symbolize in dreams? This dream really focused on the feet. Big, big feet. Until the human pair got squished by a demon foot.

Feet, first of all, foundation. After her fall Dawn attempts to stay upright but is struggling on only one foot with half the foundation missing. Second of all, power, weight. In this case, power to squish and transform.

I am totally making this up ;-)
