 | started out (as far back as I can recall for the moment) with a hotel
setting involving various people. One person in particular was trying to
commit suicide in a *non-serious* yet semi-dramatic fashion by tying a
Venetian blind cord around his neck and jumping from the roof of the 2nd
floor. Before he was to jump, someone from a previous segment of the dream
called him on his cell phone to ask him a question regarding (lost/forgotten
content). His reply was along the lines of "Gee, I'd really love to help
you, but I'm dealing with some serious issues of my own right about
now..."
Now, for a moment, I was the jumper rather than the observer, and I felt the
cord tighten around my neck. But it stretched a bit, enough to allow my
feet to touch the ground, then drag me back a bit, thus alleviating the full
strength of the snapping-neck-effect. Back as the observer, I asked this
guy how he managed to survive? His response was that due to some kind of
message from God (or something *like* that) he'd been told that if he
practiced this every day, he'd be able to avoid the impending tragedy that
was about to occur.
Other segments to type up: shower scenes, exiting w/the couple, black chick
on roller coaster with diamonds, frozen creatures, and hotel hell... <<
these notes were written before 8 AM but I had to wait until 9 PM before
finishing them, so some details are about to be lost...
Alright, I don't know how I ended up in the shower scene, but I think I
simply went back into the building after the failed "suicide" attempt. Ed
note: I don't think this was representative of a "true" suicide, but
rather, as an allegorical image, like someone "taking the plunge." --
OOPS!~ I know now what it was in reference to, but it will have to wait for
another paragraph.
So I found myself in the "ladies' showers" and there were at least one to
three women in there taking showers. No, it wasn't any hot scene from the
Porkey's movie, but I definitely recall a dark-haired gal taking a shower
(backside view, short chick.)
I don't have a clue as to what the "exiting with a couple" is all about,
dreamwise, but I can peg it (I think) IRL.
The more interesting part of the dream segments involved a roller-coaster
type environment with a dark-female wearing a tiara (spelling?) of
diamonds. LOTS of diamonds! almost like a completely filled-in chevron
shape. The roller coaster she was in was preceded along the street by a
bunch of creatures, much like dogs, horses, and camels, only as if they were
"frozen live" and covered with sparkly-metallic silver paint.
These parade / carousel-like creatures made it into a building where I
followed, and was suddenly accosted by an entire host of creatures from
(seemingly) hell, as they were skeletal-like, demon-like, and hell-bent upon
destruction. To escape this impending onslaught of destruction, I ducked
down a left side hallway (think "alley" for the moment, and this will really
synch up interestingly later on with the rest of my day IRL) where there was
a small utility closet marked "keep out" or some such "custodial only" sign.
Of course, I ducked inside, then closed the door quickly behind me. I knew
I couldn't stay in here for long, especially if *any one* of those demon
creatures out there had spotted me, so I began looking for an escape method
inside the closet, only to find a dumbwaiter step-system going up like a
moving ladder into a small hole in the ceiling. (I figured this was for the
purpose of sending things from the basement kitchen up to the rooms on
request.) I got on a step and tried to squeeze thru the small, rectangular
hole in the ceiling, but I could tell I wasn't going to fit. Fortunately,
the ceiling had a "false" rectangle around the smaller one, and it neatly
lifted *just enough* to let me slip thru it. Once in the ceiling
compartment, the extra section of the ceiling slipped back into place
beneath me, and I slipped off the moving step, and found myself in a very
small attic space, just large enough for me to curl into the fetal position
(on my left side) and take a nap. I figured: If those critters don't know
I'm here, they won't find me, and if they do, hopefully they'll kill me in
my sleep."
Woke up.
IRL, there are LOT of parallels to my day!
Note: these above sections were dreamt LAST Saturday night, 1.8.05, and the
following Sunday morning. The hotel hell section was, in fact, related to
the trip I took later Sunday afternoon to the bowling alley, and what I
thought was a dumbwaiter was, in fact, the pin reset mechanisms that keep
the pins going "upstairs" until it's time for them to set down again into a
rack.
Sorry for the delay, but this message was sitting in my DRAFTS folder --
forgotten about -- until this moment.
