The Absolutism of Hugs
July 29, 2009Joey’s Dream:
”Last night I dreamed I was showing my students this youtube clip over and over again, so weird… (It was one I kept watching and listening to a few months ago, and I guess it snuck into my dreams).

The funny thing in the dream was, I was teaching, but the music was exact and loud, and the EXACT images that were in this clip were on a screen behind me, and I can’t explain the UNRESTRAINED amount of love I had for the students as I was teaching. It was like I was watching myself teach.
The classroom was a mixture of all the students I had ever cared for and loved, combined with ones I didn’t know. At the end I gave this hug to a kid who actually used to be someone I took some poetry classes with in my early college years, and was now somehow my student I think that hug represented the Absolutism of Hugs because it felt intense. It was an epic dream.”
It sounds like that music has been working deeply within you like water to the soil…and drawing itself up through your roots to blossom into an awesome message of unconditional love! How beautiful! Native songs are always stories from the ancestors and are woven with allegory and symbolism. I wonder what the words translate to?
Maybe it speaks of the inner-connectedness of humanity, and that the knowledge and love that we share will be returned to us, even by way of our dreams.
