I'm outdoors and something has occurred, but I can't remember now exactly what it was but it prompted me to hold up a small magazine with a picture of a church with its roof on fire and yell, "We are in the throes of fascism!"

In the next scene, I'm indoors and in a tall building with many rooms and hallways. Someone on a big motorcycle has plowed into and killed some people. This was done on purpose.

Then the dream goes back before the incident and I'm in a room with a young couple. They are black, but the girl seems to interchange with a former grade school friend who is white. We are sitting on a couch and the guy has marijuana and pipes in which to smoke it. For some weird reason, these pipes run on batteries and these batteries are rare commodities as many things are in this new world of fascism. I light my pipe and it has hay in it in order to burn. But then my and the others' batteries wear out and the guy decides to get some more but it is risky because we are doing something against the law.

He heads out into the hall and the girl, who is now my former friend, follows him after giving me a lighted match in which to light my pipe. It doesn't work and I tip the batteries out of it as the hay in it smolders.

Then I hear the loud sound of the motorcycle and it goes back to the present in which they are killed by it.

Far fetched?

Hi,

I might be out on a limb her but for some reason your dream instinctively made me think that it had something to do with sex or conventions about sex. It might be the pipe run on batteries that made me associate to dildos or the picture of the church and the outcry concerning "fascism" that makes me think of repressions caused by convention or religion.

Do you have any particular relationship to marijuana or experiences that makes you think it is actually about that, rather than a hidden symbolism about "forbidden" things, in general? //Karin

:rofl2: Damn, that's pretty good.

For starters, I didn't make the connection before, but me and a friend were having a frank sexual discussion the day before the dream. It included the topic about right wing conservative politicians who engage in all sorts of sexual depravity, and yet try to legislate morality. This is a big and on-going problem here in the U.S. There have been many sex scandals involving everything from initiated sex by male congressman to male pages that exposed emails where he asks the page about the size of his member--to a famous right wing pundit (Bill O'Reilly) who was caught and paid a settlement for sexual harassment of a female producer. He bragged about the size of his penis and told her he used dildos to pleasure himself while talking to her on the phone.

That may have inspired the dream. As for the dope, I tried it once when I was 17 and didn't like it. I feel I tried it in the dream as a means of escape. I also heard a radio interview with a film maker who said that heroine use in the military was getting bad because the soldiers were bored, frustrated because of their long tours of duty, and just plain frightened and use it for bravado and escape.

So yeah, it's all about the things you said. Thanks. I didn't make that connection before. In my waking life, I'm fine with my sex life and don't crave dope, so I think my concerns with society and what I'm exposing myself to are playing a part in my dreams.
