Vernissage

I had the weirdest dream last night. I was in a huge room, high ceilings, my footsteps echoing. The room was filled with easels, all occupied by large canvases. On the canvases were my posts, written in black paint, still wet, dripping at places.

And as I was walking, trying to make out the words, a guy was walking behind me, saying

-This has to go, this has to go, you can’t keep these
-No, no, I want to keep them all
-But you can’t, you have to get rid of them, it’s too many

I was feeling threatened, dread was mounting. I was looking, trying to read, but I couldn’t get close enough to any of the pieces. Everything was blurry, because I didn’t have my glasses. And the guy was getting closer. I wasn’t looking behind me, I couldn’t see his face. But I could feel his nervousness, hear his breath, smell his clothes.

-This room HAS to be empty by tomorrow
-But what am I gonna do?
-I don’t care, just get rid of them
-No I won’t!

And I started running towards the center of the room, smelling the paint, the rust from the pipes on the walls. And I woke up. I don’t remember having smelt in my dreams before.

    jeliel: the first thing I thought when I woke up was, what the fuck is up with the smells? then it was, I HAVE to remember that dream.

    the games generated dreams are the worst, it’s like you didn’t get sleep at all. mostly after hours of playing NFS or GT… the speed, the speed.

    But your dream sounds like a lot of fun!

  3. wELL THE GUY FOLLOWING YOU WAS PROBABLY THE TRANSLATOR…SEEMS YOUR PAGE IS TOO BIG TO COPE WITH NOW.oops
    But seriusly the gallery could be your subconscious mind and its telling you to just get rid of all the old junk filling it up and move on with life. Maybe the smells were just a way to help you remember the dream, or maybe,represent new experiences awaiting for you, rust and paint seem like old and new – rust is old and corrosive , paint is freshj and new( although also just a way of hiding the old). It could have been worse – you could have smelt old fish, dead from slapping together with other old fish.

    weta: haahaaaahaa!!! ewwww.

    I appreciate your insight. makes a lot of sense. the whole thing.

    as far as the translation tool goes, it works best when used on the post page. because as you just saw, the page is too big by itself.
