Dream Journal

Rebecca bought a house in Atlanta and we had to burn down the one next door because it carried some disease. Rebecca and Jess and Rox and I all got hoses and surrounded the house. We kept lighting it on fire but the flames would go out when we looked away or stopped paying attention. A phenomenal effort got the front of the house burning but before too long, of course, it went out. The effect of the fire was that the front had tilted inwards, shrunken, and become “sweaty,” much like if you were heat-melting plastic or cheese. The wood, windows, stone, siding, etc, were all being treated as equal substances. Thus, a thought form.

I was between the houses protecting ours from spreading fire. I needn’t have worried. As I learned in the lava dream “The Backyard Lava Pit”, housing blocks are inviolate from each other. So then some distraction occurred and we came back to the next-door house (which we’d been trying to burn) to find it in charred ruins. It finally responded to our expectations when our attention wasn’t holding it in form through our physical “continuity of form” expectation. We then went in and kicked the boards down and so on.

Very Interesting!
