As I was falling asleep last night I heard a voice say "I have a surprise for you."
In my dream was a giant wall in front of me...some people went up and hung a bright multi colored woven rug on the wall...it was huge and covered the whole wall and draped over the floor."
Next I went into a dark apartment where I had the task of cleaning a giant toilet and soiled sheets off a giant bed.
Next I see a woman, it looks like me. and a man having sex...him on top...might be an ex boyfriend. My body is white and his is grey for some reason in the dream I think of Marilyn Monroe.
Next the white woman is walking, a mechanical robot man in back of her....holding her shoulders and taking marching steps....in effect marching her onward...in front of her, in front of her face, is a drawing of a cat by Yoko Ono that I recently saw in the New York Times. The robot man almost looked like a camera.
I woke up thinking about Marilyn and how she continually exposed herself in order to gain external love and approval...and how that caused her a great deal of pain and suffering. She needed to love and approval of herself so that the same from others was secondary.
The subsequent night I had a dream that a school bus was waiting at the end of my driveway in the dark. It's lights were off. I do not know if it was arriving or leaving. A bright light was on in the middle of the bus and there was a child lit in white standing on the bus.
