more weird dreams
Feb. 8th, 2004 12:28 pmHere's a strange one:
I was living in a kind of multi-story apartment/dormitory complex. The floors were strangely staggered, as if it weren't built at the same time, the upper stories overhanging the lower ones in a haphazard way. I think the entire building(s?) was built into the side of a cliff. The wood was worn and maybe even rotting, but it was stable enough for me to sleep on a mattress on my front stoop, which hung over into empty space.
The weather was cool and rainy. I had Kisia, my little blue cat with me, and strangely I wasn't worried about her accidentally jumping off the front stoop (the real Kisia isn't allowed outside).
The air got cooler and I realized that it was time to move the mattress inside for the winter. My dormitory was one room but extremely well organized, with everything in it's place. Very simple: I had an attached bathroom with shower, a small closet, a cup, bowl, and spoon, and a bench upon which my sewing machine and sewing box sat (natch).
The paint was chipped and badly needed repainting. So I did paint it; it was curiously like painting a dollhouse - I stood outside the doorway and the interior seemed so much smaller, and I finished the job in a few brushstrokes.
While it was drying I took Kisia up to the roof. There was a large central area with dormitories identical to mine set all around it, again, all uneven. I was going to let her play in the central area but there were two large dogs chasing each other and I was afraid to let her out.
I guess the dream in itself isn't that unusual, what made it exceptional was the vividness of everything. I could feel the damp, cool air, and smell the vegetation growing and rotting in the forest (I think it was a forest). The grain of the wood of the dormitories was very clear, and the chipped paint was very detailed - I even remember the color, a sort of faded baby blue.
Through all this, I think I was a guy. Nothing in the dream really obviously pointed this out, but I just get the mental image of myself as wearing an old t shirt and shorts and one of those knotted leather strap necklaces that seem so popular for guys now. I also think I needed to shave.

Re: Physics, my dear
Date: 2004-02-09 01:33 am (UTC)an interesting similarity to math, sinus and cosinus and π = 360 degree: Cos(φ) = sin(φ + π/2) where we repeatedly crosses 0 swinging back and forth from (-1) to (1).
if I remember correctly that is ;)
