Girl With One Track Mind (Sexhunters)
I Fell in Love on the Northern Line
Last Night I Had A Dream... by Tim Holmes
In this dream I was laid flat on the surface of the earth
As was everyone else
All laid side by side by side.
The surface of the globe was covered with people, all lying flat on the ground
There were no buildings or houses just people
All laid in unison. . . covering the whole of our planet
Occasionally someone would adjust their position, to make themselves more comfortable
This would 'bother' the person lying beside them, who would adjust their own position
Then the person besides them
Who in turn, would adjust their position
In my dream I watched from above as the rippling took effect
And saw all the people in the world struggling to find comfort in an ever-changing place
A dream remembered that somehow represents this life
Covering the full range of human emotion in a simple vision
A subtext to our daily lives
A meandering metaphor of our minds making
Where ego, id and super-ego meet with the subconscious
And vision and sight take flight without eyes
What are dreams made of?
Three parts experience and one part explanation
Or one part irrelevance and three parts imagination
A blend of pictures and events, sometimes seemingly unconnected
And with no conscious reasoning somehow become selected
It could be two parts inspiration and two parts revelation
Brought to you without colour or sound, the most vivid extrapolations
Do androids dream of electric sheep?
Do people dream in colour?
Do you ever understand what the dreaming vision speaks of?
Or in recollection does the image just get duller?
