Emperor of the dreamtime

Morning of January 14, 2014. Tuesday.

A part of the first dream was quite specifically precognitive (of the type which I have always welcomed compared to the day to day trivial visual type). Needless to say, both my wife and myself almost hurt ourselves laughing when the details became known.

In my dream, there is a visit by a prince of a small town. It seems unusual in that the prince is from another close region and representing modern Western culture (rather than being a typical politician, for example). He goes around making speeches but not many people continue to listen as they start to suspect he has some sort of mental issues. Still, for some reason, I and a few others follow his misadventures out of a choice to "protect the village idiot

This is a very long dream, but I will not get into some of the details other than a few here. Somehow, there is an old Greek building which is apparently a political building that was destroyed by recent war (perhaps it is the future). The "prince" gets up onto a broken Greek column (which is a few feet up from the ground) and uses it as a "throne" even though there are a few sharp bits sticking up which he complains about. He speaks, "Whoever after due and proper warning shall be heard to utter the abominable word 'Briz-bane', which has no linguistic or other warrant, shall be deemed guilty of a High Misdemeanor". He then goes on to say how he is not satisfied with the "county seat" (which is not really a term used in Australia). I am reminded of something I had read ages ago and realize that this "prince" must be a direct (fictional; in dream only) descendant of Emperor Norton.

Over time, it seems he actually transforms into his ancestor, Emperor Norton, but the majority of people ignore his speeches (until later on). He mostly claims how "everything" (in Australia) is his and that every building in the country represents "his grocery store" and every person is his grocer. He has arguments with a few people but does not seem remotely discouraged or even aware that they are complaining or running from him. He goes to a movie theater proclaiming it to be a grocery store and gives a speech as to the importance of movie theaters actually being grocery stores and again, how "every man is my grocer". "I know all of you very well," he says (even though he seems to know nothing about anyone), "each and every one of you is my grocer." Soon, he seems to be on a quest for the best pumpkin pie. He goes into a woman's clothing store and sees women undressing, proclaiming it to be the "most obvious grocery store" in the region. "Because it has the most bread," he says (which I do not quite get - perhaps he meant "breast".)

Near the last part, he is giving a speech in a more isolated area. "Even this isolated meadow is my grocery store," he proclaims, "and all of you are my grocers...the fact that you are here now is proof that you are here to be my grocers..."

Suddenly, a pack of wild dogs (mostly larger brown ones), running about in a rather chaotic way otherwise, and nipping at each other's faces, is headed straight for him. He has no awareness of the danger. Five are headed directly at him as they pass me. Becoming slightly semi-lucid, I merely wave my arms and they suddenly cringe, look confused, and turn around to go back in the direction they came from. I notice that the area is near an arc-shaped gravel road but does not immediately remind me of any real-life location - especially as it seems to just be an isolated arc-shaped gravel road in the middle of nowhere with no other discernible signs of human habitation (this relates to the "C" of Cowsills, as well as possibly my first name, but is a bit too complex to get into here). For some reason, this scene with the dogs strikes me as being particularly hilarious - not even sure why. I guess it is the overall comedic mood of a pack of dogs jumping about and running to go after someone and then suddenly turning tail and going back the other way and checking back a couple times to see if I am still there.

After this, I see someone in town near a row of commercial buildings who comes out from an alleyway. He is Greg R, a supposed cocaine addict I knew from work on Copeland Avenue and have not seen at all in years. "Man, that prince sure f-ed my town up," he says at the mostly empty streets. I could not care less at this point. I am sitting on the sidewalk with my legs out, leaned up against a building somewhat. Somehow I become semi-lucid enough to be aware that my wife is close by and coming to see me. She comes and sits on me and we start making out in public (although there are not that many people on the streets by this point).
