I just awoke after a bizarre dream where all the roads in my area were gone, replaced with just grassy paths, and these battery-powered creatures resembling a cross between a baby deer and a lamb, were being ridden by these suit-wearing briefcase-toting yuppies racing each other, I was riding one but I was naked and its batteries were depleted, and I had to pick it up and carry it over the steep hill. it was making weak-sounding bleating noises. I comforted it as best i could. when I crested the hill I awoke.
Could that be a variation on the rat race? With those baby underpowered animals carrying the yuppie load. No business suit for you, and you carry and comfort your little animal (little animal instinct?). When you reach the top, I wonder what you saw from there.
I think it's interesting that the yuppies had no power of their own, but had to ride battery-powered baby animals.
Its an interesting image.
Reminds me of a certain French movie someone described to me as having "one of the greatest chase scenes ever" in which both the heroes and the villians were forced to move at a ridiculously slow traffic jam pace- but it was still a suspenseful, if comic, chase.
Everyone is reduced to low tech, and forced to use grass paths instead of super highways. Forced to slow down. But they are all still driven to compete (in the rat race) anyway, and race on these ridiculously slow animal-vehicles.
AB isn't wearing a suit. So he isn't racing the yuppie execs. And he comforts the poor animal.
Not sure what the meaning of it all is. But its a striking image.
