Green Dreams

Read / Write Comments | By Vexen Crabtree

  1. Seven. Childish dream about a scary tramp. Recurring

  2. Fog and Dog. Being led through the fog to my parents new house

  3. Red Scratches. An evil force appears when I'm locked inside a room and can't get out. Red scratches appear on the floor, coming from under the locked doorway; moving across the room whenever I'm not looking

  4. Red Ghost. A ghost makes us increasingly scared and feeds of our fear: Becoming real

  5. Shiver Stand. Young adults harbour and use a demon

  6. Nelson Mandela and his tank. Mandela is armed to the teeth and out to kill me

Dreams. - On the rare occasions when our dreams succeed and achieve perfection - most dreams are bungled - they are symbolic chains of scenes and images in place of a narrative poetic language; they circumscribe our experiences or expectations or situations with such poetic boldness and decisiveness that in the morning we are always amazed at ourselves when we remember our dreams.
