11:04:2005 Entry: "Ann : DREAM: Soylent Green is PURPLE!"

DREAM: Soylent Green is PURPLE!

I was in either a store or a business; somehow it seemed like some Depressions hybrid (I wish I'd stop dreaming about that place, it's really irrelevant at this point)*. The ambient color of the rooms was dull red. There were many glass doors but no windows. I was in some interior room and had to pee. For some reason, I couldn't use a bathroom, so I had to secretely pee on a chair*#. There were people around, so I had to be secretive about it. Stan was with me, and he was my "lookout", and when he saw that I had pulled my pants down and there were people around, he told me to stop. We somehow managed to leave, and we were with people we saw recently in Ft. Collins, like Pat, Dale and Bill. We were travelling, perhaps by car, in the northwestern sector of Ft. Collins, although some of the houses seemed very Madison Isthmus in architecture*#* as they were two story frame houses circa 1900-1910 (like ours) except they were trashed out with bad peeling paint and general decrepitness which is much more Ft. Collins instead of Madison. It is dark outside and although initially it seemed like Bill was with us, we are driving up to Bill's former house on Mulberry. He is sitting outside with a woman and she is asking some other people questions like "what is it like to live away from Fort Collins and then come back?" I'm mad because she's not asking ME these questions and I'm pretty much an authority on that topic, but the people she was asking were the kind of people who travel to foreign countries, so they get special treatment. Oh, well, excuse me for being poor and not able to do that. Well, I guess Wisconsin doesn't count as a foreign country; so many Coloradoans seem to act as if it is ("why would you move THERE? isn't it COLD?"). ::::Ann! Stop it! You're getting mad at a Chimera!:::: Yet, I digress. Pretty soon, the people at Bill's house, including myself and Stan, start walking around and the setting turns into a convenience store in the day time. We're making jokes and for some reason we're talking about Soylent Green and the color purple (not the movie, the color) and pretending we're zombies and I start doing a Charleton Heston immitation by way of Phil Hartman on SNL saying "Soylent Green is Purple! It's Purple!" I start laughing and wake myself up laughing. It is still pretty funny even now that I'm awake.

*Makes me think that although even in the grand scheme of things, "Depressions" was just another job (like Pinko's or the Chemistry Stockroom ((the only job without a pseudnym))), the fact that I held it at such a bad time in my and Stan's life means that I transpose any bad associations I had with grad school or Disneywitches to it.

*#This is a very odd reocurring dream motif, that I'm peeing on a seat. OK, if you have to pee and you can't use a bathroom, wouldn't you find something like a jar or a cup to pee in? (Unless you're outside, of course) Why pee on a seat or chair? Makes me think that for some reason I am being watched and can't let it be known I'm peeing, so I remain seated and leave a Poppy Stain#, rather than go find some sort of container. Either that, or I'm immobilized, a paraplegic (sp?) which might be accurate if you think about the fact that you are paralyzed while in sleep/dream mode.

*#*I realized that a certain reocurring motif (driving north on College Avenue) also draws from businesses on East Washington, which I feel is the Madison cosmic Equivalent of North College. The scenery in the dream seems to heavily draw on the area around Visions and a used car business and the general trashy strip that's about 8-20 blocks northeast of where we live. There are other Madison/Fort Collins cosmic equivalents. My street is very Remmington around MidTown, although Willy Street is very Mason Street. Monona Drive (Madison) is very Lemay (Fort Collins). And some areas north of Washington and east of Lake Mendota remind me of areas around LaPorte and Shields. It's not just Madison and Fort Collins, other parts of other cities remind me of eachother, like north Montrose on US 50 reminds me of North College Avenue around the Poudre River crossing in Ft. Collins.

#And yet another in a neverending series of Seinfeld references used for descriptive purposes

I really like the old house that Bill had and I have good memories of visiting him there. If it weren't for the cacti he has growing on the mountain I would still rather visit him at the old house.

Posted by Stan @ 10:25:2005:07:11 PM CST

I liked that old house too. The gravel mountain road up to his place now gives me heebeegeebees. Plus I'm afraid a mountain lion will come out of nowhere.

Posted by Ann @ 10:25:2005:10:22 PM CST

Bill told me that the times to worry about mountain lions is at dusk and dawn - so there is less for you to worry about.

Posted by Stan @ 10:25:2005:10:28 PM CST

I'm sure we've been there around dusk...

Posted by Ann @ 10:25:2005:10:29 PM CST

Just don't let the pug out by himself to sniff around aimlessly at dusk, and 'everything will be all right.'
