Jack and the beanstalk
MMM. Tried to sleep in today. Was pretending to til dad told me he was going out and if I would kindly launder the clothes. 10:30.
Great. I couldn't even manage 11? (a consequence of waking at 6 every morning for the past 3-4 weeks)
ANHYHOW. I had a rather odd dream which is hard to recollect but here goes:
------------
I am somewhere with my sister going to Kogarah/home/some place important/comfortable
We pass by a huge outdoor concert. Nikki Webster, the little girl who was in the opening ceremony for the Sydney 2000 Olympics was there about to perform. She spoke like a child. Slurred her words, and was trying to speak with a deep voice to sound more mature.
She held out her CD for all to see ("buy it!" ??)
I'm not sure if anyone really liked her. I for one, thought we should pick her up and chuck her in a very large bin.
So we go on our merry way and pass by an apartment block. it is made of red/maroon bricks and there is a fire staircase going up. 5 floors with 2 windows per floor and a singer or two one each level's fire stairs.
They start to sing a song. Much like the moulin rouge thing : It's pretty good.
Pink is on the 2nd last level. She disappears and reappears in the window. Singing her heart out.
Then. I am with two twins. Singer people. And they are like, half cat half deranged human.
They have a thin strand of rope and they hold on to either end. The rope is connected to a pulley. so it's sort of like a see saw with either girl going up or down. They live on the 3rd floor and are trying to get to the ground.
I hang onto one string and one of the twins on the other end shoots straight up and nearly bashes into the pulley. At the same time, my string slacks and drops to the ground (with me attached).
I land smartly. Like a cat. I look up at the gawping twins. "how'd you do that?"
"umm...I jumped from the end of the rope"
"oh?"
So they do that. Only their rope does not reach the ground so much as mine did, because the other twin is careful to keep a distance from the pulley.
They let go of the rope and go 'splat' on the ground.
I say goodbye and continue walking, after suggesting they get a longer rope.
I walk into a garden which has a wooden swing in it's front yard.
The place is rather pleasant in a sort of spooky way. There a green trees with hanging boughs, softly whispering with the wind. The sky is a murky but pale and calm blue. It is nearly dusk, and things are getting a little dim. A little cooler.
The swing is a little rectangular wooden plank.
On either end is a smartly drilled, perfectly round circle with a long fat twined rope going through it.
the rope goes up. and up. and up. Into the clouds and far away.
A big hulking man appears. He's like a giant. A small petite woman also materialises. I think she has brown hair,. long. in two buns. She is nice.
I ask where they got the rope from (for the swing) as I need some in order to get home
"The string? Oh. Jack got it when he climbed up that thing"
She pointed at a huge beanstalk climbing up to the sky (and far away :P ) a good distance away from us.
Jack, one would assume, was the giant-boy standing to the side. He didn't speak much.
I say "oh. thank you". I cannot afford to climb up the beanstalk. It will take too much time and I will also probably fall off and break my crown. heehee.
I get a piece of white rope from somewhere and tie it to another rope.
Now I am in mortdale with my sister. We must catch the train and I start to buy a ticket but then the train comes. So in I hop. And I've forgotten if I've bought my ticket or not. and I feel around.
It is an express and we get to Lidcombe station in no time at all. Just when I've found my ticket. Lucky lucky me
...
Now. did that dream scram out "cats" the musical" , "moullin rouge", "jack and the beanstalk" and "the adventures of Alice in wonderland" to you or did it not?
Why do all my dreams have some sort of reference to Alice in wonderland? In the whole "journey through a weird ass place. Trying to get home. Nothing makes sense" type way.
Of course, The fact that her adventures in wonderland were, supposedly, but a dream, could have SOME reason to it.
I had some other dreams this weeks which were in the same weird theme. Something involved a large wrinkly outstretched mouth. I cant remember the rest. But they WERE bizarre.
