Scene: The Ether
I was driving to work on the 4th Street bridge and there in the mist, where the skyline should have been was a gigantic iceberg. Frighteningly big with water all around ... like an ocean. The water was approaching, not rushing, but slowly traveling up the bridge towards m
y car. I realized I had to go back. I turned the car around but it became impossible to proceed very far because of the snow and ice on the road and the car got stuck. I had no choice but to take off on foot. I remember the crunch of the ice under my feet as I traversed the suddenly lonely and empty bridge. A feeling of dread began to fill me but I knew I had to keep on walking. THEN, SUDDENLY I came upon a cabin in the woods. However, unbeknown to me I had stepped into a kidnapper's lair. I was immediately imprisoned by those who were there and one of them was my boyfriend! I was afraid of him, but I was more afraid of the others ... who I quickly learned had gone into town for some supplies and were due to return shortly. In the other room I saw a beautiful woman but I could not determine whether she was also a prisoner or whether she was one of "them". I sensed fear and anger in her directed toward Viggo and it was also obvious to me that there was a sexual tension between the two of them. I knew I had to get out of there. I had convinced one of my captors to let me use the bathroom and once there I was able to smuggle some Ambien from their medicine cabinet and put it in my pocket. My plan was to spike all of their drinks when they were eating and then, when they all passed out ... I would make my escape. (Damn, I'm fucken crazy huh).Possible interpretation:
Iceberg: Me? Frozen in fear over another possible heartbreak?
Bad Boy Viggo: Representative of betrayal, shock, hurt?
Beautiful Girl: My vulnerability?
Kidnappers: Metaphor for the way Viggo kidnapped my heart?
OK. Discuss ...
OK. Discuss ...
Well, I don't know what the heck this dream means, but it sure is entertaining! On the other hand, these 'ether visits' could actually be psychotic delusions. You know, like a teensy-weensy break from reality... Hmm, that could be bad.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love ya :)

Ha! You are too much. I'm sure your psychiatrist, who you see every other day, could lend some insight, no?
ReplyDeleteI love you. Have a great time in Palm Springs! My sis and I might be in LA on Monday.
XOXO
Ha, ha, ha. I'm not sure what the dream means either, but if you look at your hand and see a gold ring with elvish lettering, and look up at the iceberg in the sky and it turns into "a great eye, lidless, wreathed in flame," then you know that you are being taunted not by Viggo, but by the dark Lord Sauron himself, who is trying to control your mind so that you won't continue your journey into Mordor in order to cast the one ring into the fires of Mt. Doom from whence it was made and thereby end his evil reign forever. Ok, let me stop.

Ha! I had more fun reading the comments that I can handle! Debbie, I have three words for you: GET A LIFE!! Oh, and leave Viggo alone!! He's afraid of a strong, self-confident, mature woman like you! He needs a little puppy he can control! Love ya girl!
ReplyDeleteOK--for what it's worth...the iceberg: something looming and almost insurmountable, as in some of the things that you've been facing lately....the water is forcing you to take another route, which may be symbolic for finding other ways to deal with your challenges. Viggo behaving badly: a test--to see if you are loyal, even if he appears unsavory, and even if there is another woman who is wanting him--YOU have created the sexual tension...NO--Viggo LOVES strong, brave, and smart women. He has said so!! This is a dream that is asking for your perseverance-- on many levels!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation. I think I'll go with it ... I'mona book a flight to Madrid and find him! Too much?
DeleteCompletely! When you find him, tell him that you came because he spoke to you in your dreams. Tell him to ditch Ariadna. That should inspire his trust!! Or for a less expensive endeavour, save some money and hang out @ Percival Press @ Venice Beach? Apparently that's where he hangs when he's in town!!
ReplyDeleteWe're not crazy--not in our opinion!!! xoxo
I knew I loved you for a reason! You support my love of Viggo and understand that it ISN'T STALKING. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why I don't have the kinds of dreams of him that you do, though!! LOL!! There's this book that I want to read--I'll have to give you the name of it another time--it's a true story about this writer who was stalked by a young female student of his--omg! It makes us look like choir girls!!! xoxo
