I had a dream last night where a misshapen naked bald man with bright red skin was sitting in front of me and reciting a long mostly incoherent rant, so I woke myself up and wrote down the little bit I was able to remember:
You can’t say the words but you don’t want to hear it
Have you ever had a dream where you were able to bring back some particular words that were spoken or written down? What were they?
Had this disturbing ass dream this week about some kind of disgusting crust-punk antihero in a comic book kind of story. He walks into a pawn shop on the way to some kind of crisis or other to pick up a CD. His comic book superhero power is he can absorb the personality and some associated abilities of a musician who’s CD he can listen to. He attempts to steal this CD from the pawn shop despite it being only like $2 and is confronted by the angry owner.
“You’re no superhero. You’re only stealing that piece of trash because you don’t have the balls!”
The balls- to what is not verbally specified. It’s implied perhaps to pay for it or act less antisocial. But as I, some unfortunate onlooker of some kind discover, what is actually meant is “the balls to play that CD, take on the personality of a more violent criminal musician, take up residence in the apartment above the pawn shop, and rule over the building as a squatter/slumlord for at least a week”. The shop owner seemed to want this to happen and the guy just completely gives up on his superhero task to do this until somebody comes looking for him. The absurdity of it and the overall grossness of the rest of the dream have completely made me forget most other dreams I’ve remembered recently
