Endgame
I was fortunate to view a rather haunting film lastnight titled Endgame. The storyline revolves around a London rentboy abused by who is essentially his pimp. The general storyline and characters found their way into my subconscious apparently, filling my dream vividly. Upon waking I barely remembered anything clearly… I stayed in bed, eyes closed, for perhaps an hour to rebuild as much as I could.
My house was full of people, mostly from the movie, some from my own life, some seemingly random unknown filler. I was seemingly involved with the rentboy, I remember the two of us in a near constant state of body contact — hugging generally. There were quite a few candles lit around the house it seems… and I remember something regarding dinner… perhaps this was some sort of bizzare dinner party of sorts. I remember a general air of confusion and oddness permeating everything. I came into my room to get something, perhaps my camera… and I noticed a purple liquid everywhere… grape juice! I think that might have gotten into the dream after heavy research into grapeseed oil for soapmaking purposes. The rentboy said something to the effect of how he knew I wouldn’t mind the spill… I was annoyed. I went downstairs to David’s room… there were two sets of bunkbeds… he and his girlfriend were in one… and davey (I guess this is where the violence portion of the movie invades the dream)… oh I should mention that davey was walking around the house during all of the dream up until this point… always ignoring me as he has done for the last many months. In the movie-esque manner I pull him off the bed and proceed to rip away his “shell” — and then continue to beat the life out of him with intense vigor.
UHm, yeah… I suppose that’s more on the nightmare level…. like the movie, when given the opportunity, it was taken to release pent up agression.
