PAST DREAM: 4/23/08
I am at home with my mother, and we are watching an episode of a television show that has brothers on it. Suddenly the television show becomes most of the dream, and here I am confused, but the brothers had an abusive father, and there was a lot of internal emotional conflict, and then at the end the youngest one died. I said to my mother, “Can you believe the youngest one died?” as the credits came up, and suddenly this show was Home Improvement. My mother was reading a Nancy Drew. “Who?” she asked. “The youngest one, he committed suicide,” I said. My mother thumbed a page, turned it, said absentmindedly “Oh, yeah, wow.” I said, “No, really, he died in real life too.” Then I changed the channel to the movie Blow-Up. I think this was influenced by watching the short film Starcrossed
right before I fell asleep.
