Dream #5: "Ellipse of Bodies"

Classification: Type II
Age: Approximately ninteen years old.

There is an ellipse in a black space filled with naked, writhing human bodies, as if they had been crushed together with the force of their own gravity. “I” am somewhere within this mass. Every “person” in the mass is attempting, desperately, to claw and writhe their way to the surface; those on the surface desperately attempting to hold their position, but inevitably failing and being dragged back to the depths.

The thought: “Is this all?” or “Is this all there is?” or “Is this all that is the case?”

Interpretation:

This dream is a visualization of “despair” as a human state, wherein all effort is vanity and the ultimate hope inevitably indistinguishable from the ultimate hopelessness.
