Just the other night, I had a dream about myself & two others as POWs (wearing tan clothes; their sexes weren't obvious, I got the impression of "a soldier before anything else"), in some foreign country (a bunch of tents in a jungle somewhere).

We were just assigned cooking meals as part of our imprisonment and told to use whatever we could find. In the only storehouse with anything left in it, two of us went in and found it to be filled with nothing but potatoes, large boxes of them and... hundreds of what appeared to be those little red & white checkered paper fast food containers, all filled with half-eaten chips/fries. The two of us paused for a few seconds taking in the odd scene, then started talking about cooking. I commented on how I was pretty good at pancakes & waffles, while the other person said they weren't half bad at hash browns; whereupon we took a second look at the crates of potatoes to see they were all green. And growing quite well, even the (poorly cooked) half eaten ones. So we left in one of those sort of blurry dream transition things.

Which re-emerged with the three of us talking with the commander of the place: a large & obese man, half asleep with a woman, surrounded by guards. I then proceeded to explain how the remaining food supply was inedible (the potatoes were imported and unknown to them) and asked about the fast-food containers. The commander explained that the officers would often get food from a nearby town, delivering whatever they didn't eat to the severely depleted food stores. One of the other POWs then went into the details of how potatoes were part of the nightshade family of plants, etc. etc. I woke up about then.



I told myself I was gonna post the next dream I remembered that wasn't too embarrassing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'd guess the three captured soldiers represent a group doing something contrary to their existence (saving people with information rather than killing them with materials). Not sure about it, though, I have no idea what potatoes are supposed to represent symbolically.

potatoes = earth? (earth teachings?)

oh, cool - they were growing!

and you saw the administration hadn't a clue - that figures!


famine to one means a victory garden, to another it means a box of stored food, and a gun to keep it, to another it just means a gun - nothing changes

at woodstock, people sang great songs of evolution and revolution, while the people trashed the place, and the administration resorted to violence to keep control - nothing changes

airplanes are filled with guru's going to the conscious life expo - nothing changes

psychic hot lines, tainted dog food, and enlightened spiritual evolutionists paying taxes - nothing changes

the administration feasts upon their own flesh - nothing changes
