last night very funky, meaningful,
detailed and difficult to recall dream material. One image comes to mind
first: on a small round table against the far wall were placed three
small spherical fish bowls, one of which contained three or more tiny exotic
fish. in my absence the glass sphere containing the water and fish had
been lifted from its wooden base, leaving an uncontained sphere of water
intact and the fish still swimming within. there was a profound delicacy
in that suspended globoid of water, and the manner in which the fish could
stretch its boundaries without causing a rupture... one sudden movement on my
part frightened them, and the delicate water-sphere's intangible membrane of surface
tension was broken, leaving the fish in various parts of the room, flapping in
distress. Though I felt great sympathy for these poor creatures, I was
helpless to rescue them.
The main theme of the dreamscape
was, I believe, the transfiguration of two leading characters by contact with
liquid radioactive waste (as in Toxic Avenger, Batman, etc.) into
horrible, menacing monsters. Both had their evil sights set on me.
The second, very tall and reminding me of ----- and "Jaws".
