S: I had a dream of lateness and blockage this morning.
A: What happened?
S: I was going to school. We were late. It was with a boy that had once borrowed my watch from me and then played a trick by not giving it back in chemistry class. He was a very clever white boy. For some reason, the school became a tower. It was crammed with fans from East 17. The singer Brian Harvey, his grandmother died when he was in the jungle in a Big Brother type show, and maybe the tower school represented that with its big glass windows and panopticon nature. We couldn’t get to the top of the tower. It was a blockage. I got split from my friend and was finding a way up by myself. I ended up lost in a clinical looking room.
A: Then?
S: I looked out of the windows and there was a flood. There were famous London landmarks like St Paul’s cathedral and the clock face of Big Ben floating as wrecks in the flood. Then I woke up.
A: The meaning of this dream? I know you know.
S: It is about what happened after the death of my grandmother who I was protecting, including the medical problems afterwards. It involves the death of a grandmother. East 17 also sang a song featuring Gabrielle, an interracial love song. So it is perhaps about my relationship and juggling education with it, all of my writing projects building up – there are many. Then, the flood is about my writing. I wrote about rebuilding from the Punjab floods recently. The flood would wreck London and its time, break every blockage. The flood contrasts to the blockage preventing school and education.
A: A dream of love and writing. The blockage is love and music, but also death, the death of the woman you were separated from, the grandmother who was effectively your wife that you lived with.
S: I spent yesterday talking about a separation and its effects in blocking love and connection and happiness. I have writer’s block at the moment. A dream from the mind of the lover and poet. From one that has been touched by death. By one who is The Revolution.
