Dream
I’m hiding in an abandoned school from some ambiguous
authority. The school is actually the hideout of a friend (Shane?) and my
regular place has been compromised in some way. I’m busy sneaking around the
dark hallways setting up some quasi-futuristic mines in key defensive
locations. Later my friend’s son shows up with some people who want to use the
pool, but luckily he knew how to disarm the mines.
Context Explanations
Shane is my best friend who I’ve known since grade school.
He does not have a son.
Plot Holes
Who put this Olympic sized pool here?
Erection?
Yes
Analysis
The authority represents society and me hiding from it is
the same is quitting my job to work from home. The abandoned school shows that
I have moved beyond the school age in my life (school’s out if you will). The
mines are symbols of all the self-deprecating, repellant, self-sabotaging
actions that I tend to surround my work with, but the people disarming the
mines and using my pool are those who aren’t deterred by my defenses and show
up to enjoy what I have to offer (my writing in other words).
That got kind of deep.
Auguries
The pool means that maybe I should renew my YMCA membership.
I haven’t been swimming in a while.
