Blog worthy?

Dreams are beginning to annoy me. Problem solving in my subconscious is hard to avoid. I mean, I try to run away in the dream, and it just leads to some other revelation. There are these three locations in my dreams that haunt me. I suspect they have been locations for my dreams for a long time, but today I can recall each of them in a way that I haven’t before.

A bridge that’s a little bit like the Hoover dam, a little bit like the old Mystic River Bridge, and a little bit like the GW. There is no easy way into the flow, you have to cut across lanes, and if you don’t do it just right – you end up facing five lanes of head-on traffic. Somehow this process happens over and over in my dreams. Reminiscent of Blade Runner.

Next location, walking in a city with sky scrapers, in my mind – I know that it’s Las Vegas, but it’s on a hill, which makes no sense at all. There are always two major hotel casinos, one were I’m staying, one were I’m working. There is always elevator confusion, friends I can’t find because they are on the wrong floor and there is someone in danger that I can’t get to. The hotel has a big lobby, and a lounge with a grand piano, but no one playing it. There a fern bar, it’s all so vivid.

The third regular location of these dreams is a multilevel subway station. There are ramps, and a token booth with a scary fat lady. I can never see around the corners. Waves of people pass through in phases. When I’m there I’m usually trying to connect with my brother, and I am never sure which train I’m looking for, so I keep walking around and “just missing” the trains when they leave the platform. The station is the era of the Warriors (1970’s) definitely New York.

In each of these places I am never afraid, always nervous. I meander through them knowing that I just need to focus and I’ll be able to solve the mystery.

Blog-worthy sharing? No, just rambling, but this is what’s on my mind today, so this is what is blogged today.
