The plot:
I was in some outdoors nature-y place. Minding my own business. When I found the interesting looking chicken parked on top of this old abandoned blue car. Seeing something interesting I took out the iPhone and wanted to capture a picture of course. I slowly approached it, wondering all the time if it'll fly away before I can get a picture of it. I climbed in between the cliff surface and the car so that I could get the best angle for the shot. Surprisingly, the chicken didn't fly but instead started preening and posing for my shot. I was delighted of course. And started snapping. Suddenly though... I felt a sharp pain. I looked at my feet and there were red ants clambering up my legs and biting (I thought you aren't supposed to feel pain on dreams...) so I quickly tried to clear it, and shifted my position a bit, so that I could avoid the ants. The chicken tried for my attention again trying to lure me to stay with promises of better pictures and that ant bites are just bumps on the road. So I persevered on, curious about the chicken and wanting to take more photos of it. Unfortunately, the shift in position didn't do much for self preservation as I seemed to have stepped into the nest instead. But at this point, I was used to the ants and told myself I could deal with the pain and that no pain no gain right? That's the point where JJ pops up and tries to act as my conscience and convince me that I was being silly and there was no need to get hurt. There would be other opportunities. but I ignore it and continued about my task. I wouldn't know when I'll find another hickey right? I finally was about to snap a photo that I thought was awesome. Something that would prove that the ant bites were worth it. However, the chicken turned on me at the last minute and gave me an angry bird attacking you face and that was the parting shot I was left with. So I went back to the road where somehow JJ was waiting with a disapproving "look at your legs..." and they were quite an angry red and abused with bites that one wouldn't know would heal nicely or leave permanent scars.
And that was when I woke up.
Interpretation:
This about sums up my latest attempt at a relationship. Guest star by JJ who probably represents the rational part of mind. Reason being was that he was always the one who looked out for me and was with me in my more rational days. The rest is quite self explanatory right? Chicken being dex. Setting was me in a comfortable place. But with the car throwing off the scene a little which should have been an adequate warning sign but obviously I let curiosity get the better of me and thought I was ready enough for whatever gets thrown my way. So much so as to be stubborn about the approach and closed warning signs.
Rawr. I thought I've come to terms with this already but I guess trying to hard to forget about what happened isn't something my brain will let me live with so it compensated by processing it in a dream.
Well that's that. Life goes on again.
