Interpretation of dreams #3
Beautiful morning, clear skies, no rain in sight, I had a good dream. Much better, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. A dreamt about money in my pocket, no Spiderman, no shame. In the dream, I am with a friend Kg and he is visibly happy! Gordon’s (Gin) in hand, he is in a celebratory mood. His relationship with his girlfriend didn’t work out and now the dowry money is coming back to him. It was a toxic relationship in any case and they are both better off separated. We went to the shops to buy the Gin but because of his excitement we finished the whole bottle on our way back. Kg did most of the drinking, dry gin, no sponge. He was just so happy that succubus was out of his life. He looks at the bottle and notices that the bottle is almost empty. I blame him and tell him that he finished the whole bottle. He looks at me and tells me don’t worry. He reaches in his pockets and takes out a lot money, he hands the money to me because he is so drunk and tells me “let’s go buy another one, you can pick any bottle you want”.
Analysis: Beautiful morning, clear skies, much better. The dream is straight forward, my friend was in a toxic relationship. They had a miscarriage and he is so relieved he dodged the bullet. Purple nation yeah but there’s also crazy, entitled, baby mama drama! The schemers, the manipulators: ladies, we still remember what you did to Flabba. Crazy bitch stabbed him in cold blood and murdered him and was released from Jail in a couple of years. Purple nation yes but it goes both ways, there’s double standards and a victim mentality here. Kg feels he escaped a Flabba moment, his girlfriend was too crazy!
We were talking about this on the weekend, that’s why it penetrated my psyche and my dreams. She was a hindrance, a stumbling block, in his way and she refused to move over. The dream is symbolic, now that she’s gone, he is getting his dowry money back and is ecstatic – he has money in his pockets, he is happy.
Purple nation, I’ve been reading Momo Matsunyane’s book about plays. Ka Lebitso La Moya is obviously a masterpiece. The other two plays from the book “Penny” and “Unlearn” are also great. All three plays explore rape. Powerful work, she writes in her voice, you know the characters, they are relatable and feel alive. She doesn’t sugarcoat the human condition, she has a deep knowledge of human nature. Reading her plays, I was excited again. I had forgot why I came to the theatre in the first place – the stories. I wanted to improve myself, master the craft. In the course of just trying to stay alive in the industry, I lost that, I existed in another form but I don’t need to do that anymore. I am alive, I am in, no one is in my way. I won. I am simultaneously Kg with that bottle of Gin. Even though psychological, I too cut ties with my toxic partner. It’s time to move forward and reap the benefits, I am going to adapt my stories for the stage and make a real effort to get them on the stage. I am going to collaborate with other artists and open doors and I am going to make a lot of money.
Purple nation aside, I will put down a crazy bitch!
