SO I had a very telling dream last night.

remember this one 'dream fact' this is in quotes because it it is not and as far as i know can not be proven, but as a general rule when in a dream water represents emotions, salt water with the overtone of tears.


another fact for context of the dream is that, I have been playing an x box 260 version of Magic, the old card game. it has been a great way to do something mundane, fun, and so complex that I can not dwell on other shit.

So this dream, the beginning is a bit foggy, but I know that me and a small group were defending a tower (as in a wizard or soccer's fortress, yes I dream in fantasy archetypes get over it) In this tower, we were overrun twice, at different points, but managed to survive and take it back, Water was everywhere, and a huge swimming pool and lots and lots of water. I was in charge, and the defense was mostly countering and deflecting what the others did (very blue deck don't you think)

Anyway the only section of the dream that is clear in my memory, is that after driving out the invader for the second time we found that they had bobietaped the tower, and caused it to full completely with water, so everything is submerged, in what amounts to millions of gallons of water. so myself and one other, a guy, none distinctive, except that he id dark haired, and taller than me, so it could be anyone.

We work togeather to start the process of draining the fortress to make it fully functional again, but while swimming through all of this, some how bubles get caught behind my glasses and I go blind for a while, the air makes it impossible to see through the water, so I have to get rid of it. (interesting huh)

The final image of the dream is me looking out a kitchen window in this fortress, and seeing the pump, a massive machine, truly huge, and out of a center relief valve comes bubbles, lots of them, some huge, many very small. It looked like when ever movies open large doors underwater. some noise behind me makes me turn around, and before I can turn I have woken up.

There are obvious very obvious overtones to these dreams, the second invasion, and near distrcution of the fortress, the complete submersion in watery emotion, the need to find a way to drain it off, the understanding in the dream that it would take a long time to move that much water. It is the little things, like what does the air mean, or symbolize, especially in that fact that it was all bubbles, and they were opaque, while the water was clear.

Interestingly I could breath under water but only with difficulty, and only though my mouth. I think I had gills, but I am not sure. (if I did that is another thing that I am not sure I get the symbolism.)

Anyway i am marking time, working through school, and trying not to drown. *sigh*

well back to work, there are speeches to analyze and papers to write.
