Okay, this is it--just one more post then I HAVE to get busy--but NoAngel, I really loved your dream interpretation. Part of the reason I wanted to record it is because I USED to practice directing my dreams (are any of you familiar with that?) and I wanted to semi-seriously analyze it later. Have you studied dream analyzation, NoAngel?
The dashboard was bugging me--yeah, Adam can change a battery and I have a crappy car right now--but I was being too literal. Loved your insights! Have to think about them more later!
And I will confess I have been writing songs. (I was showing them to A at end of dream and just can't recollect the last part--damn it, I wanted to talk to him about MUSIC!) Further confession...it has always been a dream of mine to be a songwriter--not a goal, just a pipe dream I've played with for years.
I posted before the Grammys (when some folks were angsting about "hurry up and write Adam") that everyone should try to write just one song before 2/13 to see how hard it is. FFS, even a silly song like Kesha's latest (Blow)--surely I could write something like that.
Damn, it's hard. Try it, guys! It has given me SO much appreciation for the special skills songwriters have. I am way too verbose, for one thing (surprise : and too much in my head.
My muse visits rarely. (Wish I could get a song out of my dream!)
Which led me to realize how much collaboration is a GOOD thing in songwriting.
I've tried silly/serious/dancey/anthem-type songs and have only finished one. I asked my son to play guitar and djembe and help me record it. I can't imagine how I will ever be brave enough to share it. Which led to another realization: how very scary it is to put your efforts out there and hope people will like it.
Adam is so fucking brave. I'm not--yet.
Okay, that's it, BBL. Gotta get control of my dashboard!
Hoopla, thanks for sharing your dream with us -- I love seeing what we're saying to ourselves in dreams, too (dreams? images? interpretation? MEANING?!!! -- all magnets to the N types in Myers Briggs terms), and yours is lovely not just because Adam is there, but because of why he's there.
I think you gave yourself the interpretation in the post above, you just don't know it yet. You DO have a muse -- it's Adam. Who else, for us, so potently symbolizes having the courage to Be the Driver in your life and Make your Dream a Reality?
The sorting through old stuff, finding touchstones (that peacock feather!), and even the tiredness all seem to speak of where you are right now, but also very powerfully of where you want to go.
If you really do dream of being a songwriter or any other kind of writer, it's obvious you have the talent and the heart. We don't all have to go to the desert and take psychedelics to have "Burning Man"moments -- your subconscious may just have given you yours last night.
