I awoke from a strange dream this morning. Its somewhat cold, though in my room it is very warm and comfortable. I won in a small town, much like the one I live in now, only it seemed to be somewhere with snow on the ground. The people within the town seemed to be of a strong faith, like Catholics or something. In the house I was dwelling, there was a TV on, but I wasn't watching and couldn't make out what was on it. There was also a church that could be seen from the porch of the house I was staying at. It was in the center of the town. From the porch, in the distant, there was a mosque. The weather seemed to be warm like spring where the mosque was. I couldn't make out what the two meant other than the knowledge I have about the cultures they represent and the state of affairs in today's world.
The most unsettling part of the dream was a statue that was either outside or within the church. There was a king that seemed to come to life and unleashed a wrath upon the town, only it seemed some could not see this statue's actions for lack of realizing that maybe it was not alive, but I could somehow see it come to life...like that Brandon Frasier / Jet Li Mummy movie. I figured the church for some mausoleum, but I know that Catholic churches can be depressingly sullen places where statues can be both rejoiceful and sorrowful looking. Anyway, the kind statue seemed merciless, but in my dream, I felt more like a story was being told about that king. Some reason or another, though merciless when alive, the people of the present day saw reason to erect a statue in memoriam to this dead king. I even remember seeing a jousting lance in his hands. I also remember playing Joust last night before going to bed. You know, the classic coin-op from Midway? Oh, there was a time when chivalry to me was a lot more in place than it is now.
I looked up the meanings in an online dream dictionary. I sit here now pondering their meanings and it says that my goals are within my grasp. Hmmm...perhaps getting a WU (unauthorized withdrawel) in math class means something positive? I just want to be done with college, man. Its been such a long journey and I am tired of being broke with options on the shadow side of the wall. I refuse to give up because my effort is all I know. Times like this are when I miss my father the most. I wish he were around to give me some guidance. It would help me deal with how I am supposed to go about reaching my goals with the number of setbacks I've had. He wasn't always the best at giving a direct solution, but his way of helping me examine a problem and approach it with an anecdote of his own life always helped fit it into perspective.
I recall thinking about Israel in my first few moments awake. They are bombing the shit outta Hamas. I think its impossible what religion does to people. They put themselves in self righteous positions and people standing by are afraid to chastise them for fear due to their indoctrination. I am talking about the Christians letting Jews kill Muslims and no one else is really doing anything because they all think they are fulfilling some book written prophecy. I believe its utter folly and wish someone would wake up and smell the property deeds that are gonna be signed. I was sitting with Yohei last night and thought about a possible conspiracy of Israel wanting their own Dubai. Israelis can't go to Dubai (I don't think) for fear or religious intolerance in a very conservative Saudi Arabia. How does Israel solve this problem? Kill off the Palestinians and then sell the land to American developers for money of course! Okay, okay that might be far fetched but I won't retract my statement yet. I mean, the U.S. is in Iraq, so there lies positioning to make some major moves by non-Muslim power entities who may have money, power and greed at play here. Much has been done in the history books, that took place while the people were unaware until it was too late.
Well, I won't be some political hound. I am just thinking about the news and how much its gonna make me sigh to realize there's still bloodshed going on in the world in massive amounts. Last I checked, too...when Israel bombed Palestine...wasn't it Hannukuh? Sheesh...Sham's people.
