Interpreting Dreams and Nightmares
I have always had a fondness for the narrative of dreams.
Why this may be so
I could not speak.
I do recall a former life as a psych major
reading Freud's Interpretation of Dreams.
Recognizing his iconic topography
yet wondering about his training
in phylogeny,
predicting one's pre-adolescent healthy ego
and ecological restorations
of our species' cooperatively maturing habitat
throughout our multicultural
matriarchal-dominant rebirthing story.
I hope to feel
this timeless sacred narrative
of Earth's reweaving Sabbath,
regenerating Eden's therapeutic dreams
of polyculturing Paradise.
And,
not quite so many patriarchal pathological nightmares
emerging shared paranoid and claustrophobic punishing vocations
so vulnerably naked without potential integrity,
somehow not yet patriarchally here
with matriarchal now,
co-arising.
I LeftBrain dominate with far too retributive
non-redistributive neglect of justice days
manifesting competitive WinLose assumptions,
haunted by LoseLose nightmares
of a merely secular mortality.
I RightBrain dream
in restoratively manifest destinies toward WinWin
ecopolities of cooperative therapeutic praxis.
