I think that I’ve been having interesting dreams, dreams that I would like to never repeat. It’s like the media and the social decline of civilization permeate the recesses of the brain and in sleep it comes out in dreams. The awful repercussions are dreams of violence, confines, and inexplicable reluctance. Why these dreams?
Why do we dream about being late for work? or getting in fight with our boss? Why do we dream about violent things? Why aren’t dreams like they are in the movies?
Dreams in the movies portray places of serenity and peace, nature and an abundance of green. But how can you dream of that if your existence is one of pollution, noise, and cement? Then into the room steps Edward Abbey and Everett Reuss. And then you wonder, these men, who spent so much time in the wild and open places of the desert southwest; what did they dream about? Were Ed’s dreams of Caro syrup in backhoe fuel tanks? Did Everett dream of coyotes howling to the moon on a clouded night in Mesa Verde?
I want those dreams. Dreams of wild places and road that lead off into the sunset, to hamper forever the nightmarish dreams of a civilized world gone awry.
