I had a dream

My friend Caitlin St. James and I were touring in downtown LA (without a weapon) walking around and we both noticed that behind the tall buildings, we could see beautiful spiral tower like rock formations. More majestic than the pictures above. They were massive that they towered way above the buildings. We were both surprised cause we were not aware of this existence. So we decided we must have a closer view and take some pictures. We got in the museum (somehow) and we could see it through the windows. We walked from one window to another trying to get a better view but it was wanting. Somehow our views from the different windows were obscured. Not to be deterred, we head out and came to this courtyard 3 story California style apartment building. The ones with a common wrap around balcony with apartment doors spaced evenly. And behind the apartment we could almost have an unobstructed view of the rock formations. We thought that if we go up to the third floor balcony, we could have a much better prospect. But we hesitated cause we would be trespassing. Still determined to have that photo taken, we decided to just make up a story that we were visiting a Mr. So and So. And that we would do it very quickly so that nobody will take notice of us. Our spirit was high as we climbed the first stair that was metal. Then on to the second stair that was made of rattan fibers. It was so steep that we were almost climbing up a ladder. Not to mention that it was flimsy. As we reached the third floor balcony, I hear a beep beep sound. It was my alarm clock.

Very interesting dream Jon. I looked it up and found that climbing means a.you're trying to or have overcome a great struggle. b.It could also mean that you've risen to a level of economic or social prominence ie. YOU'RE RICH! c. It could also symbolize your drive and ambition. d.or that you are achieving or searching for a higher level of understanding either spiritually or emotionally. The metal stairs might mean strength; the flimsy ladder could mean that a quest for anything is always hard. Whatchathink? This was fun! Thanks Jon for our spirit walk!

how very interesting ta lani. how about the quest to have a good photo of the rock formation? it seems like we were so determined to get a closer look. does it mean we are looking for something? hhhmm.. and what does the tower like massive rock formations mean? lol i dont think its freudian. haha and why were you there? is it perhaps the last time i saw beautiful rock formations was with you and pinky at the badlands.

and yes, the reference about the weapon is from xanadu. hehe

Yeah I initially thought phallic symbols too ;) Trying to take a photo seems like you're trying to capture a moment in time or hold on to something. Or since we were so persistent, to SEE or understand something. Maybe your subconscious was just looking back at the time we went to South Dakota?

might be it ta lani. aba, dream reader ka na pala ngayon. hehehe

and now on hindsight, if there were really those massive rock formations in LA, wouldn't they have crumbled by now from all the eathquakes they have?
