Last night I had a dream about this no longer existent Disney Ride (maybe it exists at a different Disney park beyond Anaheim?), and a lunch box that I had when I was about 5 or 6.The lunch box was a scene of the Sesame Street gang..in which Bert was holding on to a lunch box with the same picture as my lunch box...so this means his Bert was holding on to same lunch box and so on.
I remember staring at this lunch box, often..trying to imagine how far out the picture couldĀ possibly be duplicated...It bothered me at how infinite this seemed.
Anyway, the over all feeling I got from my dream had a lot to do with the idea that *we* (as in all that we humans, are, know and come in contact with)..are a lot like the ideas represented in the people shrinker ride...or the lunch box....we are the particles that are making up a system...just like there are parts to us..blood cells, organs, arteries, veins....etc....and at some point, there is a skin or a body around *us*...anyway the dream lent itself to the thought..of what are *we/humans* in the organism that which is greater than us....if it just extends out...bigger...but the same..like the lunch box..what would we...humans...represent?
My dream suggested that we were a virus.....like HIV to be exact...that we had the ability to shift and manipulate ourselves, so that we were almost impossible to pin down and eliminate. and, dream me wondered..how long before the (insert word for what doctors and scientists would be called in the next layer out)..would find a cure for us, or at least a way to isolate us and contain us...or how many people (or whatever word would be used for the next layer out)..we would destroy before something could be done about us...i dunno..it was all a little overwhelming. anyway, that ride, when i was a kid...fascinated me..
.I usually don't remember my dreams..and they don't often haunt me on such a profound and seemingly crazy level....i found a video of the ride from back then...and how weird..the ride was sponsored by Monsanto.
