Look, I know how boring it is to hear about other people’s dreams unless they tell you that you were in it, but I need help with this doozy I had this morning (I always dream right before I wake up, which is handy for remembering them. Did you know I’ve been Tina Turner TWICE in dreams?).
I was in a van being driven by Saffron Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous
Her mother, Edina, was in the passenger seat, and I was in the back.
The road along the beach in Playacar was really screwed up, with giant gaping holes that would throw us off a cliff, so we had to take some weird side street that appeared.
The road dead-ended at a wild, windswept beach, where we got out of the car. I was totally flabbergasted to see 2 penguins rolling around and playing on the beach.
I started playing with one of them, saying, “What the hell are you doing here, little guy?” and hugging him.
All of a sudden, he turned into Dustin Hoffman in a penguin suit and explained that as a method actor, he was simply researching a role.
People, wtf? Does this dream? Mean? Please post your theories as comments. I swear I do not take and have never taken acid or any other psychedelic drugs.
I’ve got nothing.
But, how the hell did you get those pictures from your dream?!

One of my favourite lovable nuts.
P.S. Dustin Hoffman has such a great face.

My theory:
Ok the road is your life.
the holes are upcoming suprises or changes or even fears that you need to address
the fact of who you are driving with either represents what you watched on tv recently, or referred to, or even could be qualities in those characters that remind you of other people.
Also if those characters do infact remind you of other people than you should pay close attention to what those characters said in your dreams it could be some type of warning ormessage or deeper understanding of howyou feel that you didn’t realize while concious.
that also depends on how psychic you are.. or as my husband would say psycho.
I’d have to hear more details to tell you more. but thats my 2 cents.

I’ll take a stab at it:
(a) you are driving a car – self navigation; I transport myself, ego – the self;
(b) we want to be fabulous, absolutely..but we take a back seat – someone else is driving…directing – Ms. Saffron (the spice of life, colorful) Monsoon (the sun, the moon, the tides, cycles (a Monsoon, la tormenta) ), but always with a passenger – earth mother, maternal Edina (grounded) (Edina may be Hungarian name meaning “rich, blessed)”… we drive…
(b) along the beach in playacar (the beach car – the mode of travel as we navigate the borders where our subconscious (wishes, dreams, desires, needs) meets the beach — the ocean (the vast subconscious, the deep, depth, our mystery — meets the land (the conscious, where we stand, our identity, who we are we drive around in our ego (play, pretend, false self, acting Dustin Hoffman) cars… avoiding at every turn…
(c) gaping holes, side streets (our journey is never direct or obvious, there are pitfalls; there are holes on the road to becoming whole; holes might throw us off cliff – to be whole is like jumping off a cliff, defenseless, no guard rail on the road, we are whole but we might crash, its risky to travel that road, there are side streets some lead to…
(d) dead ends… not all roads are the right road or the direct road: some go through windswept trails driven in play(a) car(s) by monsoon saffron (spice it up, life of the party, force of nature… moon/sun cycles grounded in Mother earth in shotgun seat, passenger who helps us navigate the cycles as we navigate our monsoon and are swept up – windswept – (lots of ideas, flow, breaths of fresh air) on our journey…and then we get…
(e) out of car – give car/play (ego) a rest, take a break, put on brakes, stop driving for minute, STOP = flabbergasted when we let go…where do we go to?…
(f) two penguins… they cannot fly yet they survive in the most hostile environment, they overcome obstacles, they live in community, they are a pair, a couple, couple of odd ducks those two living in Playacar) — they are Emperor (Empress?) Penguins…
(g) you play and hug your inner Empress but wonder “what are you doing here”… who knows, does Dustin Hoffman?…
(h) is there a Method my madness, to my Acting – I work hard, I act, I am famous, I am difficult…
The winding, difficult obstacle laden road to wholeness is hard to navigate but its the spice of life as we wind through the universal sun moon ups/down cycles listening sometime to our wants and needs and always at the shoreline of our subconscious where our depths are revealed but where there are no guard rails, we can fall off a cliff, we can fall in a hole — we take a break we remember we are the penguin – the Empress, we will survive, we are organized, we hug – there is a method to this madness after all …it hard but we/ I am a star…
