Fade In

This dream starts with my walking outside in near snow storm conditions, with temperatures between -20~-25 degree Celsius below zero. In full disclaimer, about a decade back, when i was no older than 15~16 I had the amazing experience of getting lost on a Toronto’s suburb streets for 3 hours in extreme blizzard conditions, all the while being very inappropriately dressed for such weather. Basically I was caught in a really cold situation wearing practically nothing. I have no idea how managed to walk home without collapsing or outright dying that day. And unlike the city, there are vast distances to be walked in these suburbs before one can run into a Tim Hortons or a strip mall of sorts. Consequently, since I frequently get dreams of walking the same path under extreme winter conditions.

However, the unique aspect of this one was that not only I was walking outside in a Canadian Winter (yes it deserves its own capital “W”) but I was watching as tons and tons of people were driving by. Finally, what I saw was a set of about 10~12 girls (same age bracket as your’s truly) that were trying to cross an intersection in their, and as each time they will try to cross the road their car would get stuck in a snow bank in the middle of the road. As this happened more than once, I came to a solem conclusion that this town’s women are terrible drivers, lets put aside the fact that I rarely see/hear men in my dreams and I am guessing for a good reason too, because it can get awfully awkward very quickly, the only recent case I can remember was from here, but even that was just hearing a voice, not actually seeing. Anyways, enough distraction, soon it got so bad, that the cars were running into each other and into the snow banks. Soon it got so bad that all of them were stuck in the terrible weather as myself. So, I had  no other option but to go upto them and offer my help. Off course, its my dream and my snow bank, no one can drive better than me in my dream.

Getting back to the girls, I had to help them one by one to cross the said intersection, about 10 cars or so. And as these cars were taken out to safe locations, all but last 3 girls had left and were no where to be seen. Now don’t worry this won’t turn into any porno scene from here with some awful music. Now for the girls that were left decided to join myself for my walk around town as I looked for my house or the house of anyone I knew. However, I never found my home even by the end of the dream, but I did realize that each of them was wearing a green skirt made of toasted bread. Sort of the way mold grows on bread color. I was almost half tempted to taste test that, as I had done many years when was a student & broke, I was so hungry one day that when I took out some bread to eat I realized that half of it had mold on it, I just ripped the mold out and ate the rest as my then room mate just watched in sheer amazement. As you can see, we can often do thing that will haunt us years later in our dreams.

My suggestion to you would be to never eat moldy bread, mostly because even in your dreams, while in the presence of scantly clad women in extreme winter, you will still think of the sacred sin (of eating moldy bread) you had committed years years earlier.

and thats all folks …. happy crazy dreaming.
