I dreamt I was some unfamiliar place, on a white high-gloss floor of some mysterious material, and I was underneath a fuzzy wooly thick brown blanket, and the bandleader Glenn Miller was operating on my left hip, making some painful but short incision, fiddling with something inside my hip, then sewing it closed, and I distinctly remember the stinging barb-like pulling feeling of the suture being pulled through my skin, all done without anaesthesia. OUCH! all during this time I was surrounded by a crowd of strangers. then I awoke.
The strangest part is the vivid pain. In my experience if there is physical pain in the story line of a dream its because I am experiencing real life pain at the moment (so the unconscious is weaving a story around the pain to keep me asleep). Dont see either how, or why, your head could generate actual pain like that for a dream. Glen Miller operating on you? In the Mood, Tuxedo Junction, Pennsylvania 6-5000. The music super star of your's (and my) parents' pre rocknroll generation, who got lost while being flown across the English Channel during WWII. What might Glenn Miller symbolize to you? Why would a musician be operating on you?
when the berlin wall fell, at that time some newspapers reported that found in the stasi files [the people ran riot through the secret police buildings searching for news about their loved ones], one bit of "intelligence" that was found, was that glenn miller's body was found in a French bordello, he had passed of a coronary or stroke in flagrante delicto. the lost plane was just a PR cover story, albeit a stubborn one. so I am guessing that sometimes the beautiful people, and/or useful people to oneself, even ones that may provide great entertainment, may often be unsavory beneath a thin veneer of civility. reminds me of that twain quote about "
What a wee little part of a person’s life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself."
and the pain is explainable in that I have had surgery before, minor and major, I remember what getting stitches felt like, UNGOOD!!
Wow! Never heard that story about the secret East German files on him.
PBS had a fascinating documentary (made after the fall of the Berlin Wall Im pretty sure) all about unraveling the mystery of what happened to the plane that he disappeared on. Step by step sleuthing. Dont think that they found the wreck, but it was quite convincing that his plane ventured too close to a designated zone of the English channel used by bombers returning to the UK bases to dump their unused bombs, and that the small plane he was on got flipped over by the shockwaves of exploding bombs from a returning squadron of heavy bombers, and crashed into the English Channel. Dont remember them mentioning that dirt in the East German files.
But it is believable that he might meet his maker in a French bordello. And its believable that the allies would cover it up for PR.
But back to the dream. I guess that must be the symbolism:what Glen Miller means
to you. Glen Miller represents something in your life that you have deep ambivalence about; necessary, but unsavory.
