strangeness in the night
Jan. 21st, 2008 11:21 amDeep in the middle of last night, I had a weird dream. Not your common, garden-variety weird dream full of crazy stuff happening that makes for an interesting story - I mean a dream that felt weird in format as much as anything else.
Rapid-fire images and fragments, a half-comprehensible synthetic voice. Diagrams and directions and sense memories of my going through some process. Something about being at just the right place and position and having huge amounts of energy pass through me - an intensely pleasurable feeling, that.
You know how Philip K Dick became convinced he'd been on the receiving end of transmissions from some kind of space god-machine? It was that kind of dream. It was an Unexpected Transmission From The Divine dream. I felt like I'd had this huge chunk of information just downloaded into me and most of it got completely dropped on the floor because I don't have the space, or the context.
And the lyrics to Supper's Ready keep on looping through my head.
Like I said. Weird damn dream.
