The ever helpful Bogha Frois analyzed my dream for me this afternoon.
"So what's it mean" she asked?
"I've no idea. Nothing in it makes sense."
"What did DT represent?"
"Personally, not a clue. If I had to think about it, I'd probably say it represents my inner longings that feel like their being trapped-"
"Nope."
"Nope?"
"Nope. Here's what I think. With DT, you said that you already know what any outcome would be?"
"Yeah. You did read the blog, right? This is the kind of person I am well familiar with from my past."
"So what you're saying to me is that this...this..."
"Daydream?"
"Okay, daydream...this daydream, although you already know how things are going to end, is more desirable to you than the problems you are facing. You'd rather face a known failure than the unknown problems that you have to work on."
"In other words..."
"In other words, even you're daydreams are sad in that you dream about things you know will go badly. At least dream about something happy."
"But the dreams that are happy would never be. You know that."
"Yes I know. How pathetic is that?"
Like I said, she's very helpful.
But thought provoking. I know in my heart of hearts that I can never move in that direction, that the outcome is preordained - but that doesn't seem to stop some portion of my mind.
Desire is a dangerous and headstrong thing - given its head, it will run one over the cliff without thinking.
