15092014 think-read dream
first scene... in the centre of a large busy town looking for a
sign that points to the railway station
second scene... am having a confab with a railway employee
about buying a ticket
third scene... woman in the same situation as me (we
both missed the last scheduled commuter service and we
would have to use the employee's transport-home train)
fourth scene... slept during the journey and woke to find a
message
could only read the message by "think-reading it" one word at
a time
the first word was your, when i had read that word in order to
read the next word it meant forming a word that made
grammatical sense before it could be read (in this instance it
was luggage)
the next word could be is/was/has etc.
if the sentence wasn't making sense it meant going back to
that part of the message where more than one word could be
used to form a grammatically correct sentence and trying
different words until the right one had been chosen and the
next word revealed itself as a readable word)
the message read... i remember thinking as i read the
message "why is it in the luggage office" and "well how did it
get broken"?
i realised i could go back to the note/message and ask the
question "how did it get broken"? and so i did
the message was... "your luggage is in the luggage office
because the hand-strap of the large black bag broke as it was
being handled and the contents spilled out. you can collect it
from there up until 1 a.m."
think-reading was the longest scene of the dream and it took
bleedin' ages to think-read it
the think-reading became a real chore and it may have been
the case that the task of think-reading was becoming so much
of an effort i concluded the message so i wouldn't have to
keep on think-reading
when the message had been fully formed and i felt relaxed i
would eventually get the luggage back woke from the dream
