echo vision

i have been reading a book about bats recently, which speaks of their echo vision in the night... essentially how they cast nets of sound with their eyes closed, and use the reflections that resound to navigate through dark spaces.

like any of my dreams, lucidity was hinted towards, but i was lost in the swirl of surrealism that over took my ability to discern.

i was driving my 98 green honda civic which i do in the waking world. i was rippin around through what seemed like urban California, colorful and warm, full of concrete and multi-level spaces.
i was involved in some kind of .... organized viewing session, though, with my car. i had 2 rear view mirrors, which surprised me (hint #1!) but i shrugged off my communication and tried to angle them in a way that worked. which eventually i must have.
my car key also, had a flat disc of tigers eye instead of the regular black plastic coating with the honda logo. this also surprised me, but i kept dreaming.

i was driving my car through curves and ramps, and eventually lead towards a small line up of cars, aimed towards a large erect cylindrical concrete structure. people were getting out of their cars one by one, to experience something.

i was a little bit confused and mildly irritated at the vagueness of what was being done. the mystery bothered me a bit because i was now sandwiched between 2 cars and felt intimidated of having to get myself out of there, were i not to be interested in the task at hand.
i had some dialogue with some people, stating i didnt know my purpose in this place, but the only response i seemed to get was one of "just do it."
how symbolic.
so i got out of my car somewhat nervously and began climbing up this shaft. there were lids all over the sides of it but i was told to go to the very top. when i did, i was half enclosed in a dark, moist space, and the lid i opened up led to more darkness. there was an upright pole (similar to a strip pole) inside of the cylindrical structure, and i was to hold on to it and slide down.
no way jose. i'm pretty much claustrophobic, especiallyyyyy when i'm alone. and its dark. and damp. and creepy.
but i was already at this point and i was already being egged on by these strangers. i sighed and let myself slip into the void.

i dropped about 20 feet and was cocooned in total black. i didn't panic, surprisingly enough, i merely waited. and within moments, a beautiful array of melodies surrounded me.
deprived of most of my other senses, i felt hypersensitive to the sounds that were emanating, from where i dont know. i stopped asking questions immediately, and my mind became emptied to allow space for these fresh synaptic sparks. panning from every possible angle.

it was Radiohead.
only it was a song i've never heard before and must have confabulated in my dream.
the notes were so beautiful, there was a piano for sure, and other deep, mystical, emotional sounds. every particular noise i heard originated from a different direction, and all of the reverberations reached me crisply though as if i was listening to them underwater.
i held on to the beauty of this moment, squinting, almost experiencing the waves in synesthesia. i would try to pinpoint where one frequency was coming from, but another would replace it instantly, and i found myself still in the chaos.

alarm clock rings.
