Sports, Markets, Flirting and Sculpture


I'm wandering these giant sports playing grounds. There are football
pitches, tennis courts, cricket pitches, all sorts of outdoor sports,
and I see people playing on the pitches and courts. I'm very high up,
and the pitches and courts exist on many different levels. I see a
tennis ball come flying towards me from a pitch a long way off. These
people are playing rounders, and someone is really good at whacking the
ball really far.  I catch the next one and help throw it back.

I meet this girl. We walk to the edge of a huge drop. I'm trying to
get down onto the tennis courts far below, but I can't go down this
way, I ought to go round via the long way across the other pitches.

I say to her, whilst looking at the huge drop below,

"Although I know this is a dream, and I could just jump off, I'm still
a little scared, so I'm going to go round the long safe way."

I'm with a few friends, driving in a van. We get caught up in this
strange market place, where we have to trade foods, in particular,
meats.

I'm with nigel, and we can see all the bloodshed around. I have to cut
up this huge cow, and I don't know what I'm doing, and I end up
cutting through the lungs, and it goes all a bit wrong. Some coed
friends are here, and this older lady takes pity on me and says I gave
it a good go. She explains what I've done wrong.

There's food cooking somewhere. Its roast badger. - a whole badger has
been wrapped up in this special plant like material and is being
slowly turned over a fire. I'm quite excited about trying some.

-

I'm with this girl, and I'm flirting with her, and trying out things
to get closer to her. She knows full well all my tricks and ways, but
I try them all anyway, in a hopeful attempt that they will come off.

I do get to kiss her, but its not what she is wanting, so I apologize
for being so persistent and she forgives me.  She knows that its hard
to control ones feelings and urges sometimes.

I'm in new york wandering around the city center, crossing all these
vistas and open paved areas. There are all these large bronze
sculptures, that look a bit like henry moore sculptures dotted around
the place, and tourists are traveling around taking pictures of them.

 The artist has made them abstract and yet representing famous peoples
lives, and about specific stories of the lives they lived.

They also have in them encoded hidden information, in the abstract
forms, which people can understand if they understand abstract
symbolic language.

There's this one sculpture with 2 forms, one represents a banker and
the other this famous actor, and the story goes, as they say on the
underground, that the banker conspired to murder the actor.

The sculpture shows these two forms next to one another, one predatory
like, the other more powerful, but more vulnerable.
