hello again,

I have this problem. I can't interpret my dreams worth sh*t. The symbols are
extremely odd and twisted and constantly changing. Nothing seems consistent
with whats going on in my life. For example I had this dream last night:

I was working o n a farm with some people. The people in the dream were people
i know from a service group i am assoc. with , with the exception of one
who was the director of a play i was in. Anyway we were working on a farm
that we presumably owned. Most of what we did was cruise aroung in a jeep
or something of the sort - i was always in the passenger seat all the time
and never saw anything but the dashboard, it seemed to be a jeep without the
top. Initially we were cruising down a winding dirt road and there was a 
forest on one side and some feilds on the other. At one point we came up to
our two horses that we let roam around freely. They seemed disturbed by something and very much wanted our attention. They're mannerisms were approach those
of humans. The horses themselves didn't look like your normal kind of horse
though. They were both a muddy white color with splotches and speckles of a
faded chocolate pudding brown and they had rounded expanded chests. Their 
ribs were also visibly prominent, they horses seemed to sag in posture and
they had scrawny legs.  Any way they got our attention and pointed us in the 
direction of their concern. We came to one tree of a crop that we raised. 
The tree had been unhealthy and we had burned it so whatever it had didn't
spread into the crops. (this burning occured in the past and not actually as
part of the dream) . But despite the fact that we had burned it, it was bearing
fruit. The fruit oof this tree was actually on a vine and it lay on the ground.
The thing that bothered us was that the fruit was enormous and when it matured
it would release dragon like creatures, unlike the normal trees, whose fruit 
would mature  and release dragon flies or something of the like. The oversized
dragon-like creatures would be very dangerous, so we had to pick the fruits 
and burn them too. Another weird things was that the upper portion of the tree
was coated in spider-webby things - things i have seen on trees before in real
life - there were some dried leaves inside and more webbing.  
So we picked th e fruit and were going to burn it. So i got my zippo (lighter)
but when i went to burn them it wasn't fruit anymore. I had a whole row of
pads of post it notes lined up in front of me. They were standing on end too.
So i pulled out a knife and cut them all in half. Then i lit the post it notes
(formerly fruit) on firre and let them all burn (it was now night time - it was
b/t 11 am and 2pm in the dream when it started) . When i was done burning those
i lit the lighter itself on fire and let it burn . While i was doing this , one
of the people with me (the guy who directed the paly i was in) was watching me
and i think he put out the fires after i left. 
Once we were finished there we wnet back to fuller labs, the cs building here,
and some of us were drinking. I was drinking and doing my laundry (there is no
laundry room in fuller in real life) and my boss (i work in one of the labs in
fuller) tried to get me work in the lab that night. It was a friday so i said
no, and i has pretty close to drunk so it would have been worthless anyway.  Next, we went into the auditorium in fuller lab to watch Pink Floyd's "THE WALL".
We were watching it and then it ended. I remember the theater seemed much more
dreary than usual. The lights inside werent working, so when the movie ended
the only light in the place was from the entrance doors.  The movie ended and
i walked outside alone, then realizing that i had slept thru the middle half
of the movie. It was cloudy and dreary out. Kind of 7pmish and impending 
drizzle.  I began walking home to the aapartment that i live in now (in real life).  

That was the end.

It makes no sense to me. I have never worked on a large farm, thouugh 
there is one right down the street from home-home (as compared to home in
worcester). But the one at home home isnt nearly as big as the one i dreamed.
And at home-home this weekend mom was picking apples of of the one apple tree
we have in the backyard. They are granny smith apples (green) and they were
actuall getting a little red, so they must of been ripe - interesting to 
note that the fruit in the dream was green, like granny smith apples , the post
it notes were yellow. There was also that spiderwebby stuff on the top of
the apple tree, just like the dream. Also, i sawe pink floyd's the wall in
fuller aud about two weeks ago, though i wasn't drunk or high at the time. 
The lights were working in the aud too. I don't have a zippo lighter, though
i have a bic. I do have yellow post its though. I don't ride horses, i rode 
a pony once, a month and a half ago - it was tan. 

If anyone can possibly shed aome light on what all this means, i would be
quite interested in hearing an interpretatiuon. It seems to me that its
just a random spattering of images that are familiar to me.

later,

satan
