A Writing Task

Morning of November 18, 2014. Tuesday.

Once again I am back in school, possibly Mr. F’s fifth grade classroom, but the setup is a little different and the teacher is unfamiliar. The directional orientation is a little more like a fourth grade class I had, in some ways. I am aware of best friend Toby T but I am the only student that remains in the classroom at one point. Still, there are open books on most of the desks. Apparently, the teacher (female and about twenty-five) has given me extra time to finish a writing task, which is to be a short story about five pages long, handwritten on sheets of plain notebook paper. There is absolutely no awareness of modern technology at any point in the dream.

After all these years, a new dream type has become more viable. It involves clearer writing within the dream state and interestingly, is not as frustrating as when reading a book in a dream (especially a longer book that eventually makes me overly tired after waking - more tired than if I had not slept at all), even though I have to read what I write both as I am writing and after.

The story slowly comes into development. I write about events as if they were occurring in a comic strip world and over time, there is at least one person that is stealing words from comic strip balloons, sometimes until the speech balloons are actually empty. The detail is fairly logical (in the order of sentences and descriptions in the story) with the writing being not distorted at all (in grammar or spelling) but I do not recall the story that well. One scenario has someone using a bullhorn to somehow “protect” his speech balloon or make it “stronger” but that does not work.

After awhile, the person actually starts taking the entire speech balloons with some sort of walking-cane-like hook, similar to the Vaudeville gag where a giant hook removes people from the stage. He stores them in a locked otherwise empty room somewhere, stacking them against the wall like small sheets of plywood. It seems I have some illustrations (done by another student possibly or perhaps from a school textbook as an ELA writing prompt) that helps me enhance my story. The illustrations are taped to the top of a few of the five different pages, and every other page.

I am concerned about finishing the story, but I focus more in-dream and do actually finish it. I do not awake feeling tired, either, regardless of the in-dream focus required to actually write without it changing when looking back. The teacher stays in the classroom for the most part but we do not talk to each other much.

The image that came up via Google was quite suitable but I probably would not tag it as precognitive (or in this case the term would be postcognitive since the drawing already existed).

This dream seems to be all about my perspective of mainstream society (including the televised media), comic-strip-like, with much of what people say worthy only of being “pulled off the stage” as in Vaudeville.
