I was standing talking with burroughs, he was looking fairly young (skin on face tighter) but dressed in the burroughs clothes. First time I saw him in a dream. He told me he wasnt dead and was just pretending, told me some other things also. He was a lot sharper than most of my dreams are. It was in the central square of an old city. I had previously done something in the same square which I felt was very wrong and the association made me feel bad.
Then I went for a walk to bring food for me and burroughs. I passed by different stalls selling corn on the cob and candy floss. Then later I passed a big house with kind of neo-classical architecture, I went in through double doors. The house was just one big room (and I sensed a couple of small rooms in the back). It was a strange shape, like three cojoined circles. There were lots of carpets all on top of each other. In the central circle there was a big sturdy wooden table. There were 2 guys there, one was Flyboy.
The dream character Flyboy was short and dark haired (like me) and wore woody-allen glasses. He was wearing a red tracksuit kind of like an old school b-boy. He was pale. He was a bit awkward or distant and mainly ignored me, he was hunched over a table reading and writing some notes.
The other guy in the room was taller, a bit fatter, a bit older, and was quite friendly. Black hair, slightly scruffy, going a little bit bald. He wore an earthy sweater with no sleeves.
I cant remember what we said or how I knew flyboy was flyboy.
I didnt stay for long, I was in a hurry and left.
I walked a bit more but cant remember much of it, I passed the house on the way back to the square and they were both standing outside, we just acknowledged each others presence but didnt talk. I returned to the square despite the fact that I hadnt found any food and burroughs was gone.
This dream was a short while after I posted a cut-up on the lyrics thread, a cut-up which included posts by flyboy, Haus & the trouserian, mostly posts by me though. The cut-up came up with some weird lines about Burroughs himself. I would guess that the dream is linked to the cut-up.
I also saw 2 dreams about barbelith in 2005, I might dig up the dream diary and write those too.
