Church of BirchDreams…
I finally saw Inception last night and while I thought it was amazing, I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed at the lack of complexity and overall rationality within the dreams. Where were the flying lizzards and melting walls?
It got me thinking about my own dreams and just how weird they are. One in particular was this dream I had a few years ago which left me so mystified upon waking that I had to write it down(still in a foggy haze just documenting the main points)….here it goes!
Land of the Velvet Duck- Feb. 17, 2007
High on the slopes of a South American mountain lived the privileged community of velvet ducks. This particular house was shanti-like on the outside but extremely beautiful on the inside. Towards the front of the house lived a Chilean family of humans. They were usually on the front veranda looking out over the valleys.
The resident of the house was an early 30’s blonde woman with rather tacky style. She worked in some sort of office and was always really stressed out.
When she was away, the house made way for the very talented velvet ducks. As I was upstairs in the mezzanine area, I found myself surrounded by these velvet creatures, some navy blue, some forest green and deep red and obviously very well fed. They wore bonnets with ribbons and played various instruments extremely well. Their beaks were much like those of a duckbill platypus.
After we had all been jamming out for a while, the energy started to stir and we realized that the blonde lady was home. I proceeded to look around the house for her and kept seeing her loading her purse. She was wearing a horrible outfit from Bebe!
After a while, I realized she was gone and proceeded to look for her. After what seemed like a minute but was actually hours, she emerged from a closet with a tall, rather heavy set Cuban man wearing a cream linen suit. They had obviously been having sex because they were both embarrassed and flushed!
Unfortunately, the lovely velvet ducks had dispearsed but there were a few sitting on the grand piano looking at me and giggling!
Then I woke….
