Feb. 9th, 2003 02:40 pmi've been having adventure dreams again and it's exhausting. started when my back got really bad - but those dreams were more unsettling and intense. this morning i had another adventure dream - lasted about 3 hours.
steamboats seem to be a theme so far. no clue. except the boat doesn't have a big fly wheel on the back. just layers of decks and open railings - which i seem to dangle from frequently in an attempt to reach people or yell at people or chase people or jump from onto the shore or an island or something.
feels like northern ontario - feels like places around thunder bay. but not. there are no steamboats in thunder bay.
this morning i started off in an airport/mall. felt like amsterdam airport but in a winnipeg mall. my brother was there (hence the winnipeg part). he helped me out of a chair. then i was wandering around the mall trying to find my people. my team? the whole dream was just one long search to find out what the fuck everyone was searching for. no one would tell me what was going on, where we were supposed to go, what the whole point was. everyone was very rushed, focused.
i remember floating? but i was on some sort of ski lift thing - not attached to anything though - just kinda floating around. but whatever i was on wasn't visible. i had left the steamboat, chasing people i thought i knew who seemed to know where they were going. we were at a restaurant/lodge and there was a big wooden sign out front. there was a clue carved hastily into the sign that the people were trying to decipher. i couldn't make anything of it. they seemed to understand. then they took off running and i chased again. somehow i followed them onto these floating things and we were in a line - circling around. at one point we swooped over a pond. in the middle of the pond there was some foliage. as i slowly ciclred above and around it i could see a small nest. several eggs. among the eggs was a small furry thing, a little cub of some sort, no bigger than a kitten. i couldn't see it's face, just the top of it - the small back and head, sort of beige coloured fur. as i circled slowly i reached down from my invisible perch and extended a finger to touch it's back. but i knew if i touched it the mother would kill and eat it. so i only reached.
there was so much more. at one point i was standing at a crossroads. two dirt roads, a small gas station, i think there were a couple young indian guys. one of the "people", female, was talking to them. maybe they had another clue. then we were walking along a wooded path or road. trees on one side, the river on the other. i think the same river from previous dreams - the same one i'm always trying to get into or around or out of. the same one with the steamboats. then a friend was beside me. she wasn't in a rush, she wasn't part of the crazy adventure game/scavenger hunt. but she knew about it, understood it. i don't think she told me what it was all about, i don't think i asked. she put her arm around my waist and we continued walking. it felt good.
i'm beginning to wonder if things have begun surfacing again. what the fuck am i looking for?
