Open dream interpretation

[avram]

I dreamed that 42nd Street was a river (a small one, more a creek, really), and I had decided to cross it on foot instead of just taking the subway over it. (Surrealism bonus: The subway was underground when you were riding it, but elevated when you looked at at from the outside.) I had to get through a milling crowd of surly teamsters to get to the river, and then while crossing it I saw a live trilobite and was attacked by a baby hippopotamus.

What’s it mean?

It means 'don't eat cheese before bedtime.'

It means you should take that "thing" (you know what I mean) out of your backpack before you encounter a card table with three members of the NYPD standing next to it, looking at you with expectations.

Well, sometimes a baby hippo is just a baby hippo.

Surly teamsters, however, imply Issues.

That last was me. It's been so long since LJ logged me out, I forgot to check.

Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

It's clearly a political allegory about global warming. 42nd Street is flooded due to the rising sea level. The teamsters = truck drivers = environmentally destructive lifestyles. The hippo lives in the semi-tropics, not in temperate areas like New York, and are also indicative of rising temperatures. The trilobite... oops! Our session is over. Send $100 in the mail, please.

I think it means that smoking opium right before bedtime is not a good idea:)

How's this, made up on the theory that all dreams have to be about sex, even if they aren't.

water: wet sex
subway: safe sex
teamsters: societal warnings
wild creatures: disease
