Silky the Pegasus
Dreamed 1984/12/11 by Wayan
I'm not sick, but my dad drags me to a clinic. Doing intake and triage is a tall, cute, tough-looking, quiet, cheerful young woman, sitting a high desk. In her slack time between client-intakes, she reads a science fiction novel full of vivid pictures. Or is the whole story in comix form?
The beautiful unearthly images encourage me, so I get the courage to talk with her (I felt attracted to her, so I got shy, as usual). Say I love such books too...
...and I slip into the world in her book.
Silky, my anima, is leading me somewhere. She's not human tonight, but a talking palomino mare, sleek and slender as a deer--so sexy to a fur like me! She has golden hooves matching her mane & tail. Oh, and huge white wings like some Christian angel. A pegasus!
She guides us on a flight between universes. The girl reading the book back in the clinic flies along with me, following my nightmare. My sexy nightmare.
Silky leads us up a long arc through clouds and blue air...
On this level, Silky's still a winged mare, but she goes clear as glass! Just a faint pegasus gleam.
Now the scene reverts to a picture in that book. But having met my nightmare and loved her, I'm dissatisfied with the illustrations--her eyes are placed wrong! I have a yellow pencil eraser, and redraw her eyes. But I'm leaving faint red smears, from a red pencil tied tight to my pencil with sewing thread. Pry that loose--ow! tight!--and NOW I can erase the smudges just fine, and fix the image.
NOTES IN THE MORNING
Against my gut feeling, I trusted my dad's recommendation. That lawyer ripped me off for thousands. I ended up hiring another lawyer to sue the crooked one to get my money back, and partly did--after two years of frustration and stress. Thanks Dad!
Sorry about the sordid afternote. But the dream itself sure contrasted the material world with dreams.
