I had a bizarre dream last night.....it involved Sting....I will spare you the details...but, the setting was Hawaii....
and Sting was there.....and.....well....bizarre....(I love Sting, but man....this was crazy)
speaking of deus ex machina....or not....or maybe even Ghost in the Machine...
I was prompted to discuss the topic of 'dreams'....which made me really deconstruct....this word, "Dream"....
like...what happens when someone asks you what your "dreams" are? What are dreams? What is the purpose of a dream? What's the purpose of love? for that matter....
because I think they both run on the same fuel.....
love...and dreams....
and while I'm totally making no sense....or a lot of sense.....they both benefit from a little deus ex machina....don't they?
seriously....this is that kind of post....that will be explained later....so let's just enjoy the preview...and the ride...
and I'll set up the next post by saying,
the biggest dream you can have it just....getting in touch with yourself...and loving yourself....being authentic...
being able to express yourself the way you need to...(because once you do this...every 'dream' you have is flowing from the place of the ultimate Dream...and that's a beautiful thing....)
and love? Love is like....a high performance vehicle....high octane....
if you want to hide it away in a garage....where nobody gets to enjoy it....where you can't take it out for a spin and really open her up...for fear of scratching her...of getting hurt...
then....what's the point?
love needs to be driven hard and fast....I think.....saving love....because you don't want to be hurt...
hiding your heart because you don't like the pain....
means...you just park it in the garage....and shine it up once in a while....never to actually drive it.
what a waste of a perfectly good prancing pony.
some people are like that....they just hide....away....afraid of really feeling....
it's like Cameron's dad in Ferris Bueller's day off....if you know what I mean.
Ferris knew how to drive a car.....
the more you drive it....and make it work....the more you feel....the more your heart is open to love....and really feeling love....
some people live their whole lives....going 20 mph...in a car that can go....much much faster than that...in a car that can handle the speed....
so....
drive that car....love the road...and the curves....and the whole damn thing.
and I think that's enough to say....until next time...
peace and love...and deus ex machina.......
I like this blog Kelly. and i like the subject of dreams. I write my dreams down and think about them, well not always, but they have informed me greatly in my life.
ReplyDeletei'm thinking the word 'sting', it could mean all kinds of things. my mind speaks to me in dreams using puns and plays on words.
when did the word 'dream' appear in the lexicon?
thanks for your comment. :) I was really thinking about this and looking up the word, 'dream' and....I found this....which I read...and found very interesting.. http://herriotrow.com/2013/02/05/the-etymology-of-dream/
Deleteinteresting to read about when the word, 'dream' began to mean, aspirations....and well- of course...made me think even deeper about this word..... :)
