There's a lot of dreams left to be had. Certain of that.

Reminds me of a time in my school English class - we were talking about dreams, aged 14, and this kid stood up and started describing his dream, wide eyed, in front of the class..... he was walking and walking through a dark damp triangular forest, he had a crossbow in his hand. He saw a deer flash across his path - raised up his crossbow - and the whole crossbow just wilted.

Everyone was listening with their mouths open, and the teacher just said 'Um, OK, thanks for that Jay, I think some people might be able to interpret something in that. You better sit down now.'


So be careful - we might just analyze you Pandi

how I interpret Jay's dream is love ... of course... right

realizing the beauty before his eyes, the magnificence that is life,
he could not take it, he was unable to kill.
An empathy message that hopefully stuck through life,
most especially if it remained as pictures in his head years later.

I guess perhaps the teacher, as some, was thinking sexual performance
but I think sexual interpretation to be kind of a cop out
on the potential for the dream state.

Someday they may find that our subconscious is providing learning
material for our conscious,
that dreams are indeed a lesson, in themselves, as life experience is.

Analyze away
that can be the highest complement, that one would even care that much
and listen long enough

thank you for listening

and this reminds me of 'What Dreams May Come' a really far out movie

I dreamed last night you wanted to change me...

that Love wasn't strong enough to hold.

As clear as here, I walked and ran, watching the time tick away.

I was strong again, moved with flight, leaving the old bones behind.

Tears they dried, I returned, found you by my side.

Found our Love by my side...

strong enough to hold.

Powerful and lovely - a rare combination

Bill Callahan ..."show me the way to shake a memory"

Bill Callahan eid ma clack shaw

Working through death's pain

Last night I swear I felt your touch
Gentle and warm
The hair stood on my arms
How, how, how?

Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory

I flipped my forelock, I twitched my withers, I reared and bucked
I could not put my rider aground
All these fine memories are fuckin' me down

I dreamed it was a dream that you were gone
I woke up feeling so ripped by reality
Love is the king of the beasts
And when it gets hungry it must kill to eat
Love is the king of the beasts
A lion walking down city streets

I fell back asleep some time later on
And I dreamed the perfect song
It held all the answers, like hands laid on

I woke halfway and scribbled it down
And in the morning what I wrote I read
It was hard to read at first but here's what it said

Eid ma clack shaw
Zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur
Cofally ragdah

Show me the way, show me the way, show me the way
To shake a memory


A great interpretation...


Eid Ma Clack Shaw, as I hear it, is split into two parts. The narrator has two separate but equally important dreams. In the first dream, he has a dream in which his departed lover — by death or other means — visits him. That dream shakes the narrator, in such a profound manner that he is awakened. He wishes that there were a way to rid himself of such painful memories.

That dream leads into the second part of the song. The narrator falls back asleep and is suddenly inspired to compose the most perfect song. This song, he says, contains all the answers — perhaps how to rid himself of memories. He then somewhat awakens and manages to write down the lyrics to this song that he has written in the dream — but then when he fully awakens, he has scribbled the following:

Eid ma clack shaw
Zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur
Cofally ragdah

He ends the song by repeating his desire to be able to rid himself of memories and he reminds us of the song that he wrote in his dream.

What can we do with knowledge that we learn in dreams?

Can we ever hope to take the knowledge outside of the dreams?

Or is it just that there is nothing really new in our dreams since they are created by our own brains and we should be able to find the knowledge if we can but delve into our own mindspace somehow?

In an interview with Uncut magazine, Mr. Callahan was asked about writing songs in dreams.

Have you ever “dreamed the perfect song”?

"I have dreamed melodies that made my heart weep and I have dreamed lyrics that would shatter the world. When I wake they run back into the woods."




What are your thoughts on the song and capturing dreams?

The ocean came to me last night.
You ask why....

I had to wash away.

It came powerful, ceaseless.

Loud, too loud, rushing in my ears.
It drowned the cries of the birds,
my birds.

Water filled the streets, taking the sunset.
Gathering my life and moving it away,
far and away.

The sun rose on my new day,
peaceful, lovely, quiet.

I see a hummingbird sitting at the feeder,
so tiny yet so tough.
And my feeders need to be filled,
before the Deluge.

this is my absolute favorite of this dream epic

(and ditto dearest pandora on your "love you guys" post)
