Dead Zones
And the air had a brush like quality in the way that it moved. It was most visible in the tree tops among the many waving leaves. Perhaps there was a pattern there? If there was, I could not see it right away, but the motion reminded me of the sort of randomness you might see and hear in a congregation or a live audience. In this sense, the trees seemed to orchestrate the wind more than simply react to it.
And then I noticed that in some of the frames of my dream, the leaves did not move even though there was wind. Some part of my mind in the dream-state recognized this as a failure to update, but where the blame was, I could not tell. These areas in the dream were like dead spots where one could not get any cell phone reception, and they were persistent. If I moved around the dream-geography, a region that was previously dead would still be dead if I came back later.
So inside the dream, I am wondering the significance of the dream anomalies - locations and times that no longer update . . . that appear to be cut off from whatever creative essence the dream would normally have. And if this has a physical manifestation or is purely metaphorical.
It was from my home town which I have only visited 3 or 4 times in the last 20 years. My memories from my recent visit told me that the town had changed more than I would have expected even though large parts of it still remain the same.
Change . . . there is the concept that I struggle with apparently even with dead zones within dreams. Some dream elements are so recurring, that I begin to wonder what significance they have, even if it's just meta.
Also, in this dream I was riding a motor bike, which I am unable to do in real life, thus the dream's state of not being fully in control in getting from A to B.
And more - there was one frame that was like a giant picture so it was hard to tell in the dream whether it was a dead zone, or simply a picture depicting a dead zone.
Now if I could only make good on that process of writing immediately after dreaming so I could capture even more details of some of these interesting lucid dreams.
