{04 invisible academy 10.19.95l Non-Fiction Natasha Tyson: Playing With Dreamstuff (Author's note: This dream actually occurred 4/14/95.) THE DREAM/NIGHTMARE Last night, I couldn't breathe. I think it's because X was squeezing the life from me (I know who the someone was, but due to the desire of privacy, I' 11 keep the name to myself, identifying all characters by alphabet). I was walking through 3rd floor ME (now known as Coulter) looking for a practice room, but annoying little crappers from a high school honors band carrying tin and brass-looking instruments occupied every room. So, I go downstairs to the 2nd floor and migrate into the Recital Hall. No sooner than I hit the door, I'm straddled on the floor like Batman and Robin on the second half of their TV show when the Joker's got 'em in a bind. Lying with my feet towards the entrance and my head towards the stage, I feel suffocated and embarrassed cuzthe downward position of the staircase is raakin' the blood rush to my head and my skirt ride. So there I am, awkward, yet bathed in soft light with certain personal belongings littered around me and once my eyes focus, Iflbtice that my enemies arc lurking around me, as well. One of them, X's friend and leader, Z, stands over me, yelling. His words are distorted like Charlie Brown's parents telephone dialect. lean only look up at him with waif-like urchin eyes. Is can't bear his gaze, so I turn to peer up at my feet (which is difficult cuz gravity's pullin' at my head) and I discover that Y (whom I was attracted to at the time) has been eyeing the entire scene closely. Clearly, the expression on his face is one of disapproval, but he feels cornered because X and Y are also his friends. I wake up, out of breath. The sudden gasp for air is a signal of another scene. This time, I'm outside near the Killian Speech Annex and a Caucasian male whom I've never met, which explains why he needs no alphabet letter, wants to take my picture. I'm all for it until he mentions that I'm "colored." Immediately, I protest and tell him that if I was to have a moniker, it would be "African-American." He gripes about it and cortiplaincd that he couldn't believe how far niggers have gotten in the world. That statement quiets mc in an unnerving way and I never face him. I'm frozen in a posed position—head twisted, chin touching my left clavicle and he (the photographer) is tryin* to turn it around—face the camera. I wake up, out of breath. Elevator doors have closed on my head and I panic in this dreamshift. My fingers slip into the sealed groove and I try to pry these binding doors open. Amazingly, they give and f looFout and it's the 8th floor (the light in the elevator blares 8, yet the floor looks surprisingly like 3rd floor ME). Sud denly, the doors close, trapping my hair in their and exposure, grip. The downward motion pin pricks to my scalp. Frantically, I push buttons and my heart tells me that I've pressed 1. The more the elevator drops, the more my lungs swell in my chest cavity. My legs buckle and I fall to the floor, ripping my hair. The light on the button panel is flashing 1 and the doors open, revealing wires. I rub the sore part of my scalp and see something before me. Looking up, I spy ole X standing over me with a malicious scowl on its face. Immediately, I plead, "All right. I'll leave him alone. You don't have to kill me." Then, there's a lung-lock. I feel infantile by swallowing the nasal plug and my throat becoming filled with the mucous cork. The muscles surrounding the sternum are pulled taut, jacking my lungs to my back like elevated kidneys; I wake up with a sharp cry—newborn, stale air making me hurt, but alive! THE INTERPRETATION The occurrence of numbers in dreams places large significance in discovering archetypal messages when it comes to dream interpretation. Their appearance doesn't necessarily have to deal with abstract digits—they can also be identified by repetitive patterns or actions performed a certain number of times in the dream. David Fontana's The Secret Language of Dreams lists numbers and their significant meanings from 0-12. In this particular case file above, the numbers 3, 2, 8, and 1 have been envisioned by the dreamer: 1 - represents source of all life, the ground of being 2 - represents duality, balance, the coming together of male and female; defines the created world 3 - represents synthesis; union of body, mind, and spirit 8 - represents regeneration and new beginnings. —Fontana, 142-143 Dealing with pressure seems to be the theme of this dream. At each state, the dreamer is confronted with a challenge and it seems that she is losing in both. Each numerical floor level educates her. The third, that representing her initial content attitude (union of mind, body, and spirit), is destroyed by the appearance of chaos. With "no room at the inn," she is forced downward—her high plateau chopped to a low-confidence level. How else would you react if you suddenly felt as if you didn't belong? The lower level is a den of iniquities. Enemies lurk around the dreamer, while personal belongings (pieces of herself) are littered casually around her unbalanced and disorganized body. The union of male and female is halted when Y (the male) does nothing to assist the dreamer (female). He only watches with tied hands as if he, a friend of X and Z, can do nothing to compensate for her agony The photographer scene, in my opinion, holds the true heart of the dream. No numbers guide this particular episode, but there is a deep level sense of self-knowledge and revelation. It is the scene where the dreamer must face the music and step up center stage. The third and second levels are dark, blurry and hidden to the dreamer. The words are unintelligible. The vivid brightness and sharp color contrast in the photographer scene is the first hint of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming occurs when the dreamer is aware that he/she is dreaming (Fontana, 18-19). This awareness allows the dreamer to reach the point of revelation and that something should be learned from the vision. The dreamer is laced with a race issue here. She knows that X, Y, and Z arc Caucasian and that she is the only one of color in the dream. The photographer (obviously Caucasian) reveals his once "secret" confession. The / . camera is his mask, yet the dreamer witnesses his true colors at this crucial point and feels a tinge of anger. The anger is immediately replaced by fear by the following remarks made by the photographer about her race and their position in HIS world, HIS America. The dreamer knows then the truth that there will never be any hope of a unified world or the world reaching a 3 level. This knowledge thrusts her back into an elevator. This is the first time we actually see the two-faced vehicle. Before, we only go by what the dreamer states, that she just appeared on three, then downward to two. The elevator is two-faced I say because it gives her the false impression of being able to create a new beginning of our dreamer's life by taking her to what it says (the flashing button) is 8. Once there, it attacks her and pulls her back down. Her only and last hope? The pressing of 1 . . . the sense of being grounded tit a falling deathtrap. Will the elevator, the vehicle which carries the archetypal symbol of searching forjiew thoughts and inspiration as a result of the dreamer's own efforts (Fontana, 102) carry her to a grounded destination as it's supposed to? Of course not, not a two-faced one, not by a person whose glass hopes have been shattered by a boulder-sized revelation of a hopeless world. Later, we'll see just why the elevator has so many sides. Back to the vision; theX, now accompanying the dreamer during the fall, means to destroy her. The dreamer, still affected by the lucid episode, tries to control the inevitable action of her death by reasoning with Enemy X: "You don't have to kill me." With the mention of these words, the suffocation returns and the dreamer feels like a baby. No hidden symbolic meaning there, everyone knows that babies need to be nurtured, cared for, and above all, loved dreamer awakes. There are several outlets of interpretation in this dream, but because of the frequent use of numbers and how they are visually presented, the number archetype is the best way to analyze the dream. Fontana makes references to renowned dream author Anne Faraday, who has similar ideas to the connection of dreamers and their visions. Faraday mentions (amongst her vast array of dream methods) the topdog vs; underdog motif which is also expressed in this case dream, as well. Topdog, Faraday claims,is the voice in dreams that warns the dreamer of what's best lot them. The underdog usually spends most of its time trying to appease the topdog. Occasionally, underdog overcomes its master. ;..^ Unfortunately, underdog loses the battle. The topdog. ic presented by X,Z, and the photographer, all tell the dreamer what to do. The dreamer and Y. underdogs, both give in. but the dreamer at least tries to fight and actually defend herself.
