Dreams by Choco

It’s a sign for next year. You are the Waterford hurling team and you just walked all over Limerick.

Possibly Your subconscious telling you that you need to clean a mess up pal?

Had the usual one last night. Rushing through a transport hub trying to make a connection. Sometimes it’s an airport, sometimes it’s a ferry port, last night it was a train station in a town that had bits of the south of France and the north of England.

Hi @Thomas_Brady

I’ve sent pms to @choco but no reply, perhaps you can help.

Had a very unusual dream last night.
So, I’m asleep and then I’m walking through a wooded area on my own. It’s late evening and the sun is struggling to break through the foliage. I’m starting to shiver.
Suddenly I see a figure in the distance approaching, it’s hard to gauge who it is but as we get closer to my surprise I see it’s Chris Godwin.
He is drunk, he asks for directions but doesn’t appear to know where to. Suddenly I hear an engine and this Big Yellow cab arrives down the wooded lane. The cab stops and the rear doors open and out pop Andy Reid & Mahomes.
They tackle Godwin to the ground and start kicking him in the head.

I’m awoken suddenly by the eldest and I’m none the wiser.

Can you explain wtf that was all about?

I think it says that you are struggling for meaning in your life… Being in a woods or underwater usually signifies the subconscious and the fact you could recall the light and how it was struggling to get through is very apt here. I think maybe the Superbowl or things like sport are distracting you but there’s an unhappiness or a sense turmoil under the surface that you need to address. You need to find a way to let the light in.

That’s all fine and dandy. Bit what about the otters?

It’s important to remember that you are all the people who appear in your dreams. You are Chris Godwin and you’re also Andy Reid. They represent different aspects to your psyche. When you kill someone in your dream it’s an aspect of your personality that’s dying. For example, I had a lawyer friend who had a dream about a very serious barrister that she knew. In her dream terrorists broke into the Courtroom and shot the barrister and she watched it happened but she was the barrister and the terrorists also. It was about her rejecting an aspect or professional direction in her life and starting working for a charity instead. These types of dreams are more common and vivid at key moments of change in your life.

In your dream, what does Chris Godwin mean for you? He represents something deep. I’d guess just a very virgorous or physical life that you’re leaving behind and Andy Reid represents your fears that your being dragged into paperwork, management, middle-management bollocks but I know nothing about your life and that’s just a guess. The sunset suggests to me a sense of age and decay, like you feel that your halcyon days are behind you. The woods suggests to me that you feel lost at this stage in your life. Again, that’s just all guesses for me.

Your feelings about the dream are very important. What do you feel when you see Andy Reid, what do you feel when you see Chris Godwin?

Alternatively it means that the Chiefs are going to beat the Buccs and you need to lump on.

I think you’ve gone a bit too literal there… The American football stuff represents the superficial things in life he is investing his energy in when he needs to address his spiritual side.

Go shit in your hat, you cunt.

Thank you, bro.

Sounds like you are a racist

@Thomas_Brady I very rarely have dreams but I had this belter the other night and was going to post it and now that I see the thread has been bumped.

I was in a western, but also I was writing the script of the movie as it was happening before me, on the backs of torn open envelopes. I was scrambling to write down a scene or bit of dialogue and tossing it into a pile and reaching for the next scrap of paper to write down what was already unfurling before me, hardly keeping up. One character was a scoundrel but we liked him, he had made it into a saferoom of a bank in a small town and was robbing the money which probably belonged to some bad people. He was likely going to get caught and be very fucked if he did but he was rolling the dice anyway. In another scene some more posh people were on a train, a beautiful young woman didn’t want to get married or had some other difficulties with the constraints of the society that she was ini gathered. People on the train were taking heroin to pass the time of the lengthy journey. Then, it must be much later, I was passing through a no man’s land, in a marsh, a destitute place, I stopped at a run down guest house. It was many years later and the thief and young woman had clearly settled down there and taken on this guesthouse with their loot. (Much of the dream was clearly lifted from bits of Sebastian Barry books, like this bit from the whereabout of eneas McNulty.) The years had been hard on them and the beautiful woman in particular, she was not old but she was worn.

I appreciate that you have me on mute, however.

You’re the beautiful young woman, or rather your ego is. The train is your job, the addicts are your co-workers who, like yourself seek escape from the meaningless neverending journey that you equate to the civil service . Your thief is your motivation for working, you’re bored and repulsed with it/him and you’re resentful because it has you stuck in a grim house in a swamp. The dice represents a small part of you that would like to leave but the authority figures are your conservative and fearful instincts. You feel that you’re been stealing a living.
Text book really.
Do you know anything about otters?

It’s fairly clear from those 2 snippets that you were cast adrift in Kilmallock, the description is uncannily accurate. The guesthouse is in fact the Railway Hotel so subconsciously, somewhere you’re traversing old stomping grounds in Limerick. A large Jameson will quell the shivers.

There’s a lot going on there pal…like two different dreams merged. If you look at what Westerners depict, they are about wilderness and unlawfulness, good Vs bad… You’re caught up in this struggle yet you’re narrating it. I’d be tempted to say you’re bringing your internet battles about covid to bed… Maybe you’re engaging with others through other means too in real life but it deffo says to me that you’re trying to control something you see as wrong or troubled but you can’t quite control the narrative and it’s getting out of control or you’ve no more words to say… Hence the train journey, you’ve started to become a passenger or are heading to the unknown… The heroin was interesting… do the people on the journey with you in real life need to be sedated or numbed from the upcoming storm? Or maybe they don’t want to deal with the reality of it? … again, the woman trying to escape the confines of her society… But can’t. She’s powerless or not in control of her own decisions… What ever it is by the ending in your dream you feel like you,or someone else, have to do something dishonest or against your standards to arrive at your destination.

The Golden Spur not the Railway Hotel
