“Dean Dreams”
Dean dreams he is in a shack with a stranger
talking to him. Yet he can’t
recognize the face. They walk out
of the old, wooden structure and see a huge, magical, dark yellow bus. It is spinning in mid-air toward the
clouds. ψ - The bus has a large, black, horseshoe shaped U with a line bisecting
it. This symbol is embalmed with a
black decal on the bottom of the bus, noticeable from the ground. Out of the windows come big plastic
Pepsi and 7UP bottles, nearly hitting Dean and his unknown friend in slow
motion. The filled bottles then
bounce back into the weightless sky from where they came. Dean continues to think that he is
wide-awake, walking down a dirt road of dried mud, wearing dark, black
sunglasses. In this cosmic dream,
the summer sun is shining brightly in the Southern afternoon skies. Dean is carrying a flashlight that
emits more light into the sunshine.
He is searching for some unknown thing but can’t understand what. He feels as though he couldn’t explain
it, even if he did come upon it. Can
you? You find what you’re looking
for several times in life’s time, only to lose it again. Life is to logic as laughter is to
tears.
