Here's another recent dream... This one makes me laugh to even think about... You'll see why... ~~~~~~ The "format" was probably the oddest part of this dream. I wouldn't say that I was actually a participant... possibly more like a narrator or a film director... and that's how the dream actually seemed... More like I was shooting a film and zooming in on what the various characters were saying. Location: The farm where my Dad used to test drive vehicle prototypes in the 1960s. Most of the dream took place in the kitchen of the old farmhouse, or out in the yard by the barns. Characters: -There was an older man who seemed like a professor who owned the house... smoked a pipe and seemed to be reading books or magazines most of the time. - A good looking blonde woman... maybe like Kim Basinger... She was staying at the house and doing work in the kitchen a lot of the time, but she was a "writer"... (we'll get to that part in a minute). - A young couple who had just arrived and were staying for 1 or 2 nights... They seemed to be recently married.. still at that starry-eyed in-love stage. - An older pilot who few a biplane... he looked sort of like a cross between George Peppard and Christopher Walken (when he's behaving and not doing something evil)... Seems that he was a hero in this dream... doing dangerous reconnaissance missions because there seemed to be a war going on.... only not near this farm... I guess like how it would have seemed in areas of rural England during the wars. What is funny about this dream is that, it didn't really have much of a plot. It was more like I was working out a scene for the movie, but that the actors seemed to think that everything was "real"... (very confusing). In the "scene" in the dream, the Kim Basinger look-alike is peeling potatoes at the sink and looks out the window and sees a biplane approaching across the fields just above the treetops... She dries her hands off on an apron, but acts calm... like she doesn't want to show that she is really excited to see the pilot because there are other people in the room (but you just know she is happy because of the little smile that you can see on her face as she turns away from everyone else). The professor tosses his magazine to one side and limps to the doorway, pipe in hand... and waves to the pilot as he lands on the roadway and taxis into the barnyard. The pilot climbs out of the cockpit carrying a big canvas bag full of papers and books.... Everyone goes out to meet him, except for the woman who has been cooking... She stays back and waits for him in the kitchen... The pilot stops to talk to everyone who has gone outside to meet him. Then, he turns and looks towards the house and you can tell that he's asking if the woman is inside. He enters the house alone and comes to the woman and gives her a hug and a kiss... Then he pulls a little box out of his pocket and hands it to her... She opens it and there is a diamond ring inside. It's obvious that, although simple in design, the stone is large and valuable. The woman puts the ring on and tells him that it's wonderful. The pilot then reaches out and picks up a stack of papers that are on the end of the kitchen counter and says, "How is your manuscript coming along?" The woman waves her hand and says, "Oh, it's almost finished, but I just feel like it's not very good." The pilot replies, "Nonsense! I've read it and its going to be an important work and you're the one to write it. No one else could do it." Just then, the rest of the people come back indoors and the pilot says he has to go back to the plane to get a couple of things. As he moves to the doorway of the house, he is met by the old professor who says, "Was it wise to give her that ring? These are risky times." The pilot reaches out and puts his hand on the older man's shoulder and says, "Yes, I know that.... But at least if something happens to me, she'll have something to help see her through until better days." [How ridiculously melodramatic, eh? I can barely believe that I-I-I HAD this dream!!!]
