THE DREAM OF MAGAWI~!

The story of Young Magawi, the Man who chases himself

around himself forever, afraid of both night & day, Life &

Death...!

This was one of those rare dreams that I love to have,

no matter how sick or disturbing, because the ego does

not exist. There is no 'I' in this kind of dream. YOU, the

Dreamer, do NOT exist. It is a 3rd Person tale outside

the realm of your own subjective fears & fantasies. It

is some parable, or fable, or myth, plucked from the

vast field of Human Unconscious and examined in

great detail. It unfolds just like a Movie, and tends

to make more sense than random goat-cheese

phantasms or fever-based insanities. There

is a definite beginning, middle, and end...

Summary: The Dream of Magawi is about the

laziness of Youth, and how impatience directly

lead to the betrayal of his Grandfather, Old

Magawi. Young Magawi left the old man on

a cliff face after initially promising to stay

with his feeble ancestor. He proceeded

to the nearest town, many miles away,

and got drunk on a pulpy drink made

from fermented fruit. Meanwhile,

Old Magawi tried to climb down

from the cliff-face and fell to his

death. The other Rock Climbers

came back and found Old Magawi's

mangled corpse. They remembered

Young Magawi's promise and decided

to teach him a lesson... They found Young

Magawi passed out drunk on a floor mat in

a hut, and tied his Grandfather's dead body

to his back. When Young Magawi awoke~

with a hangover & headache~ he saw

his Grandfather's macabre face just

over his shoulder, then struggled

to squirm free of the stiff corpse.

Young Magawi was unable to

escape, and continued to sleep

reawakening from time to time

to the same nightmare, over

& over again, in constant

fear and remorse, racked

with guilt for betraying

his Grandfather~!
