Courtney Love Understands Me!
Dec. 1st, 2000 07:23 pmHow's that for a title worthy of a barely-teen stalker wanna-be? Though anyone who stalks Courtney Love better be prepared for the possibility of Courtney kicking their butt to the moon.
I mentioned earlier that I often dream of the ocean at night. It's always a calm, onyx sea, and there are usually strange fish or other...organisms...under the surface. I don't necessarily feel in danger or anything -- I don't feel I'll drown or get eaten by sharks or anything, but there's something disquieting and just wrong about it. It's a dream that makes me uneasy. Sometimes I wonder if it's just because I'm so familiar with the ocean, that I know somehow that I'm dreaming (though it isn't lucid). Things are rarely 'normal' in dreams, and maybe my unease with my dream ocean is a Castanada-esque 'look at your hands in your dreams' way of letting me know it's not real.
Anyway, I have another reoccuring yet vaguely unsettling dream. I'm standing on the ground, looking at the dark night sky. There are tons of stars, of all different colors, but they're moving randomly around. Some just vibrate in place, some slowly cruise around, and some shoot out of the sky like meteors. In this one, I'm sometimes afraid I'll fall into that crawling chaos (which really does seem Lovecraftian in a Nyarlathotep kinda way), but I definately know something is wrong with the sky. Since I'm a big astronomy fan, maybe this is like the ocean dream.
So, I'm listening to Hole's "Violet" after work, and the first two lines, which I've never noticed before, go like this:
And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars were just like little fish
and I was like, "Yeah...I know what that's like." No crashing sense of empathy or anything, I just liked the lyrics.
