A Long Walk Home (night of 20th April 2010)

7.
In an unfamiliar city street. The feel of a provinicial town. Meet Andrea in a kind of market square. Sunny day.

Having to walk home from work - a different place than the waking life call centre. The work building is situated in a rural area - the feel of Scotland. Evergreen trees and shadowy glades. A long, grey road. Do not mind having to walk the long route home from work because I have Roberto Bolano's magnum opus to read, '2166'. Explaining this to Andrea. She looks at me askance.

Cally from work giving me a flyer for a party that will last four days and begins at midnight on the first day. Trying to explain to her that I am too old for partying these days, and certainly not for parties that last for four days.

Difficult to explain this one. There was a surreal pun filled single page series of illustrations in childhood comics such as Whoopee etc. These were called 'World Wide Wierdies' and featured such things as 'Ghoul-ditz Castle' and 'The Isles of Silly' etc. In this dream, there were objects that were based on these cartoons. For some reason they ended up being burned in a furnace located in an industrial basement. I remember seeing one sculpture / object burning in the fire. The basement had tiny windows situated high up, looking out into the night. There was also the feel of a swimming pool about the place.
