Two nights ago I had a dream that, get this, and really, see if you can find any meaning in all of the convoluted dream like nonsense, I had a dream that I wanted to fly so, just like that, I started to fly. And while soaring about, I remembered that I had forgotten that I knew how to fly all this time. Right. No symbolism to be found here. And then I woke from the dream, sat up and muttered quietly, but out loud, “crazy” and promptly fell right back to sleep.
So, in the 44 hours since that dream I’ve heard that song, “Crazy” by Seal (as in my dog’s name) three different times, which is what I muttered in the middle of the night after having a dream about wanting to fly and remembering that I could fly- which is a song I’m sure I haven’t heard even once in several years. And in this song, Crazy (that Alanis Morissette does an awesome cover of), the lyrics are, “In a world full of people, only some want to fly, isn’t that crazy?”
Isn’t that crazy? I mean, come on. I’ve listened to the song intentionally a few times since and although the vague symbolism is obvious enough, what’s this about? Seriously, just tell me.

crazy.
also, i love flying in dreams. mostly because in my dreams i have to fly by swimming breaststroke through the air – no matter what the dream, the flying is always the same. and it’s really fun.

It is REALLY fun. I do a bit of a swimming motion too, but just to get in the air. Once I’m flying I usually just soar about.

Serendipity. Singularity. Metareality.
Cool!

I thought I made it up! But, it sounds cool, right? My interpretation is this: when things are lining up and layering over each other and you become aware of them and that awareness in turn creates another layer of lining upness… which enhances the reality of the whole thing. Sort of. 🙂
