Dream Signs and Symbols, Return of Joshua

Recently I had two dreams that I'm sure have some interesting dream signs and symbols:

1. I was looking at tall bookshelf at an old European library, and I couldn't quite make out the letters printed on the spines of the books. They were just a little fuzzy, even though I had a new prescription for glasses. I was thinking how you can't fix certain things as you get older.

2. I was in Vietnam, marching in a steady procession with a group of soldiers, in the middle of a tall grassy field. A white anglo-saxon (is that redundant?) chick with blonde hair, wearing one of those triangular Vietnamese rice farmer hats, whipped out a bazooka and fired on us. One of the soldiers dived to block the missile with his body, while the rest of us dove to the ground.

The missile exploded. I felt my torso rumbling (kinda like a contemporary video game) as it was torn to pieces by the blast. I felt no pain. Fade to peach-orange color.

Anyway, I'd love to hear your take on these dream signs and symbols. While you're at it, check out The Velvet Mask at our DailySkew Book Store.
