TT: Go on. TG: i was in this dark place surrounded by this big flock of crows TG: god this is so generically morbid TG: im sorry in advance for exposing you to my unconscious minds retarded cliches TT: It's ok. TT: They wouldn't be cliches if they didn't comprise the unanimously understood bedrock of phallic symbolism, with no other viable interpretation. TG: well obviously i knew the birds were just black screaming sky dongs just hear me out TG: i kept dying TG: there kept being these traps like i would go one way and get my head chopped off TG: or go another way and get stabbed or whatever TG: and every time i died the dream reset itself and i was standing there alive and ready to try to escape again TG: but each time i would be watching myself from the vantage point of a different crow TG: like i was the crow all squawking around in circles like a macabre flapping douche TG: and i would always watch myself try to do something different to dodge the trap but i always ended up dead TT: Hm. TT: Well, if I've learned anything from my extensive skimming over the Wikipedia articles on dream analysis, TT: It's that this dream is very unlikely to have any literal significance whatsoever. TT: It's probably not about dying at all. TG: you mean maybe its about anxiety over maintaining my blogs TG: or that my beats might not be ill enough TT: Yes. In fact, if you were on my couch that would have been my next question, as a licensed professional. TT: "Mr. Strider, have you considered that what you actually dread is to have your urban rhythms exposed for what they truly are, which is, clinically speaking, just shy of 'da bomb'?" TG: and then we crack up laughing cause we both know theyre fresher than your moms change of drawers and tighter than when shes wearin them TT: Listening to you conjure imagery of my mother in her underpants is definitely keeping us buoyed high above this swirling Freudian hellhole. TT: Well done. TG: please its not like shes my mom i can visualize her choice ass all i want without it gettin much more than moderately uncomfortable for everyone involved TT: What if you're wrong? TG: about what TT: Her not being your mother. TG: uh TT: Don't worry, you're probably safe. Luckily I can think of no literary or historical precedent for that sort of folly whatsoever. TG: this isnt the first time youve insinuated were related what is up with that TT: Isn't it? TG: no TG: i mean TG: im not sure TG: i feel like youve brought it up before which is kind of weird but now i dont know TG: i think im getting this weird deja vu thing where i was sure we talked about this TG: forget it TT: Why don't you tell me more about your dream? TG: ok TG: so i kept dying and kept being crows and stuff TG: and then i started to notice something coming from the sky TG: it was this faint eerie singing and i look up and theres nothing there just darkness TT: That's interesting. TT: I've read about this. TG: what did you read TT: Certain texts say singing from the unknowable void carries a message. TT: That its recipient has been selected for a mission of supreme cosmic importance, that will result in your death and that of billions more. TT: But one that is essential to the perpetuation of existence itself. TG: what the fuck sort of crackpot psychology text would say something like that TT: It's not from a psychology text. TG: so then youre consulting astrology books now TT: Not astrology. TT: More like, TT: Zoology. TG: oh my fucking god will you put that away TT: Ok. TT: Keep describing the dream, though. TT: If the rest of it is incompatible with prognoses of the zoologically dubious, I will withdraw my insinuation. TG: theres not even much more to it TG: i looked up into the sky TG: didnt see anyone singing TG: but even though the sky was black i could see the sun TG: it was bright as hell even through my shades TG: so i flapped my wings and flew up away to it like a fucking piece of garbage TG: and thats it TT: This doesn't strike you as an impulse of self destruction? TG: no TG: not in the sense that it was a dark sacrificial zoology mission TG: it was more like somewhere to go besides watching myself die a lot from the vantage of a feathery murder of dumb shitty birds TT: So, if hypothetically you were to accept such a mission, or even insist upon one, it wouldn't be in the spirit of genuine sacrifice, but of escape? TG: what the fuck are you talking about TG: ok somethings wrong TG: this whole conversation is falling apart this isnt how it originally went at all TT: Aw. We were making good progress, too. TT: Why did you have to go and remember? TG: this happened months ago TG: does this mean im dead
