The details of the dream areall but
gone to me, as though submerged under a layer of hard cement, like dirt.
I might have visited Palomar
College again.That recurring motif, were it true, would suggest the feeling of
being encroached upon by naive adolescents.
The warlike attitude of the dream seemed borroweddirectly from ‘God
of War’. It may very well have been representative of the feeling of hostility
and aggression that I feeltowards both Andrew and Anothony fortheir adolescent
attitudes.Andrew, in this case, would naturally have been identified with the
video game because of the night that he visited, thoroughly and neurotically
narcissistic in energy, and played it. It is important to note that, while he excelled
and even surpassed me, moving beyond the point that I had reached in a display
of technical skill, he held the controller almost abusively, deriving noJOy
from the game,disappointed that it would not assuage his suffering.
Anthony seemed appro priate to the
dream by virtue of his Ares-like quality, as well as his almost militaristic,
compulsive attitude towards mysticism.
Of course, both of these
gentlemen, in actual life, I battle with. Perhaps the dream suggests that I
change my strategy. I must Accept that I am a war and that a diplomatic
strategy would be merely a surrender.
