Cause you’re not in control no more

by Matthew Bartlett @ 10:07 am

Last night I dreamt about using Google to try and find the tab for Doves’ song “Caught by the River”. That was imbedded in a much more complicated situation but it’s slipping away.

On Sunday night I dreamt that Simon and I were walking beside a spectacularly beautiful lake. I saw a pelican catch three fish in its beak. I saw a Maori man near by. I thought he was going to cut off the bottom of the bird’s beak to get to the fish, but he just opened its beak, reached in, got the fish and let the pelican go free. We went to his house. His mum was doing a jigsaw puzzle of a map of the world. There were two other similar puzzles around the room. Suddenly there was a celebratory gymnastics event, a bit like Circus of the Stars. Actors from Shortland Street were performing the most amazing feats of physical agility. That’s all.
