What Would Freud Say?

March 18, 2008 |

I had the craziest, scariest dream last night. I was walking up a logging road in the woods - but not the woods near my house, more like the Great North Woods. Up ahead of me was what looked like a mound of some sort (dirt, animal bodies, who knows?) and on top of that was what I believed to be a dead grizzly bear. And its head was HUGE - MASSIVE even, but flopped to the side, tongue-hanging-out dead.

So I didn’t feel any care or concern over this known predator up ahead until it suddenly came to life, sprang off the top of the mound and started running down the logging road towards me with the obvious, express intent of ripping me to shreds. I panicked, I wanted to run but I knew that if I ran it would chase me and see it as a challenge. So I stood my ground and when it got close to me and reared up on its hind legs and growled that ominous grizzly growl I did the same thing right back. I remember having something in my hands like a sheet or something and waving it up over my head (I guess I thought I was making myself look bigger, I am a genius in my sleep) and instead of eating me it turned and ran away.

Usually to me dreams are just dreams. Just the minds way of sorting random images and stories into their appropriate storage files. But this one was different. It scared the shit out of me for one thing but also made me think about the double meanings in the dream. Is there someone or something that I think is really deceiving me despite their outward appearance? Who or what do I need to stand up to instead of running away?

And maybe I need to wash a load of sheets?
