Flying from the Matrix

Date of dream: Friday, April 01, 2005

Level of Lucidity:     Level of Cohesiveness:

This dream has been viewed 185 times.

A strange world, where some people are working like drones, while others have a normal life. I'm one of the former. The dream starts out in some kind of factory - the first thing I remember clearly is fleeing, hiding, trying to find a way out despite severe security measures. There's also the impression that I'm being watched, maybe even toyed with, but I don't give up, I keep jumping from safe place to safe place, almost flying.

During my flight, I meet people. At some point I get outside, and it's an old big building, like a university. One of the people I meet is my old junior high teacher and a cousin of mine. They're not drones, they advise me to return to where I belong, that I don't have a chance out here. I keep on going, hiding on the roof of the big buildings. I meet an old friend, who is a noble and easily catches up with me. But again I refuse to give up - this is my dream, after all, and I want to see it through.

Then it's a time shift, I think, because I'm younger, almost a kid, and being raised to be a drone inside the big building with many others. It's a bit like boarding school. Or a military academy. Again I try to flee, jump-flying from hiding place to hiding place, above people's heads. I keep on meeting people, who for some reason never betray me. There is a boy, one of the other drones, who I fall in love with. He hides with me in a bathroom, and we kiss. We go on together.

There's a raft and a lock in the Rhine that we have to get through. My mother seems to be there with advice. Another guy appears from the opposite direction on a surfboard, and I see him trying to get away from a great big shark. But I'm not afraid, I just keep going.

Additional Comments:

As often I looked at myself like an observer watching a movie. The observing part made sure that the dream kept on going, pursuing a happy ending.

    Soap Opera

    Jess Mariano (from the TV show Gilmore girls) was there, being my best friend Sibylle's boyfriend. Only Sibylle was Rory (from GG). And there was stuff, a whole complicated, dramatic story, the way my dreams normally go, but at some point, after something had gone wrong and I was feeling low, I wanted to find out what it's like to sleep in the same bed with a guy, so I asked Jess. Who was tempted by turned me down, thinking that I was hitting on him (which, in a way, I was - totally out of character for me) and then there was mini-drama, bad conscience and confessions. Quite a soap opera, actually.

    And then there was something with two princes from Arabia, and me trying to set Sibylle/Rory up with the good one, instead of the bad one, since she was some kind of princess and everyone was always nice to her, no matter whether they'd be good for her or not. And Howie Dorough (from the Backstreet Boys) was there, my best friend in this dream, who no one knew whether he was gay or straight. But I was in love with him, and in the end someone made him realize that, by talking in metaphors about not knowing that what one is looking for is right in front of one, literally using a mirror, and I woke up curled up in his lap...

    Additional Comments:

    Only fragments again. Dreamed all kinds of stuff, partly certainly inspired by my watching Gilmore Girls on tape practically daily... In reality I have only shared the bed with a guy once, with an almost-stranger after a New Year's party - and the guy had his feet in my face, so it doesn't count.

    Reconciliation

    First there was something about a class trip (?) to Italy. Driving in a car/bus, getting used to seeing cars drive on the right again (because I just came from Britain). Staying in an old castle or something, in the middle of nowhere. A discussion about where to buy water from, whether in the small store on the premises or whether it'd be worth it to walk to the next village store. I remember being right in the middle of the discussion and people actually listening to me. Stefan B. (bully type guy from primary school) even agreed with me about something. There's much more, but I can't grasp it.

    Then I'm the wife of some small king, who goes bancrupt. The marriage was unhappy, arranged, and until then we had apparently hardly seen each other, but now, traveling around looking for new accomodation (with some lawyer/advisor-type old blokes meddling in everything), we suddenly discover that we like each other. There's surprised talks about how no one would have thought that this bancruptcy would not end in the end of a puppet king and his fake life, but how it makes him care - and that, contrary to what his advisors think, this fake marriage might just turn real.

    We're both amazed to discover that we're actually in love with each other. There's flirting and hugging and casual touching. He's a big man, wonderful to lean against, curl up with. His voice is lovely, too - all deep, with a gorgeous laugh. I think we speak English.

    We go flat hunting in Italy (Florence, Rome) - I insist we check out Venice, although the advisor guy thinks the run-down city isn't appropriate for a king. But we find an absolutely gorgeous apartment in an old people - it's dark and cozy, but it also has a giant courtyard with a glass roof, so it'd be lots of sunlight for my SAD. We (and another couple - friends, who think our new-found relationship is both funny and romantic) walk around, knowing that this is it. The previous owners were a gay couple, I see their photo.

    We rest on a couch in the room with the glass roof, my head on his stomach, touching, laughing about our timing. Then, before the advisors return, I go to the bathroom - through the bedroom, which looks as if the owner has just gone to work, and I feel funny walking around in someone else's home. I lock the bathroom door, but the other woman (a lovely, slim dark-haired girl Ã? la Frances O'Connor, who I saw in 'About Adam' last night) can walk in anyway to water some flowers, which she laughs off but which I don't like.

    Then it's a change of perspective, I think - I'm him now, the king, and I (the wife) have been kidnapped. I'm worried sick, and furious because it's a plot of the advisors to keep me in line. I have to go to Cannes, to the red carpet and be their puppet for them to return her to me. But before I can discover whether they'll be reunited, I wake up.

    Additional Comments:

    There were two parts to the dream - or maybe two dreams, who knows.
