CAPTAIN FASCIST

Had a pretty quirky dream the other night.

I was in a giant bed in a casual classroom environment with mostly girls from high school and obscure former Tashman Technologies employees.

We were watching an old audio/video educational program (black VCR with a lot of wires). I was content.

Then all of a sudden, CAPTAIN FASCIST opens the door and (really) says,

"This dream is being interrupted by...CAPTAIN FASCIST!"

He stood in front of the TV, and was blocking everyone. I was amused by his audacity, but focused on the TV. He had index cards are was trying to give a speech without looking at them, but he was noticeably stumbling over his words.

He wasn't showing his embarrassment, and kept speaking very quickly. He told the girls to "clear out the room, let's get going".

I gently put the blanket over my head, showing my displeasure. I didn't want to hear his speech, and told him as much:

"Captain, whatever you're selling, I'm NOT buying. So just go ahead, but it doesn't matter to me."

We were speaking over each other's words, and didn't hear each other. He kept on selling and selling.

"You're like ARI from ENTOURAGE!" I yelled.

"Who's Air-Eye?" he lied.
************

I feel this dream was PROOF that I am really in control of every aspect of my dream. For example, I personally can't remember telephone numbers, and I can't read or write in dreams, and definitely can't memorize things. Captain Fascist not being able to recite his speech or read the index cards? That was me, folks. I was Captain Fascist, the girls, the TV, the bed, the space in-between the second hand on the clock...I was everywhere...kind of like the Matrix, or when Thanos had the Infinity Gauntlet. The bottom line is that when Captain F. stuttered and forgot his lines, I finally saw the 1's and 0's of the dream sequence...the truth being that I was manipulating the whole thing...all the time. I create my own dreams, and the actors and events in my dreams are orchestrated by me. The Captain's mask fell off, sort to speak. Ah-ha! Gotcha!

Absolutely right. Couldn't have said it better myself. You summed up what my holistic vocal teacher explained to me years ago about dreams perfectly.

And, might I add, that the purpose of the Dream Seeker is embedded in your insightful comments. While we cannot control the circumstances around us, we can control ourselves, our minds, even our dreams. We can make a choice.

That is the bottom line.
