for some reason a commonly recurring dream theme of mine is celestial bodies... and when they show up, it stops everything else and is magnificent beyond words.
last night I was in a hotel, going down on the lift to walk the dog at 6AM. when I walked out, my parents were there, and I could see the moon in the distance, very low. but when I turned around again, the moon was filling the sky, and you could see the 'sunrise' in terms of how the shadows on it started moving when they passed a certain point.. like time lapse. but then I turn around because somehow I know sunrise here (where ever 'here' was) is incredible. and what I see is absolutely incredible... first a light, and then a huge, bright blue glowing sun that completely fills the sky. you could see how its surface was moving, how the giant solar flares rose up, how everything was shifting and moving and glowing and suddenly you realised that this huge fucking thing was, infact, just a huge nuclear reaction and you understood it. like this, only an unimaginable neon blue... kind of ala my sloppy photoshoppe above...
the sound that accompanied the moment was amazing... just imagine a darkened sky with a bright blue inferno with all these beautiful flares and loud bass sounds are reverberating all around you in this amazing pattern. I remember saying "they do like to show off the sound system every time...". then after the sun rotated past us, the next 'sun' showed up (guess this solar system wasn't like ours) and although it was slightly less impressive, I remember being amazed by just how close it was and how it was a kind of dark red with amazing, glowing golden cracks all over the surface.
...yes, I get beamed imagery, amongst other things, from distant solar systems by extraterrestrial intelligent lifeforms, while my brain explodes trying to grasp things like this. other imagery includes a bright cracked purple sun above a field of burning coal and sudden images of a huge moon surrounded by slowly floating giant satellites around you.
I want to go back into the mountains, dreams there take on a whole new level of 'vivid but fucked up'. it's been two years since my last visit.
