Stoned World
This dream was recorded in January 1975 from notes made a couple of days after the dream. A few sequences were remembered well, but there are severe lapses in between.
There was a prevailing feeling of an alien influence permeating the world. The entire population had been drugged and "civilization" was coming apart. Everyone was dressing like hippies and going around acting stoned.
There was a sequence at the corner of a commercial street, reminiscent of the Burbank Golden Mall, where I watched what was happening and walked away wondering what to do.
There was a sequence where a big train derailed with cars crashing around and falling over. No-one cared. The engine, I think it wa a steam engine, stayed upright, and the engineer was stoned out of his mind.
I worried what people would be doing for food, since no-one was interested in farming or distribution.
After another lapse, I found myself out in the country next to a brook in a field of grain or tall grass. I had found a box containing the drug and its antidote. I mixed the antidote with soil and poured some into the brook, knowing it would permeate the world as quickly as the drug had, and everything would return to normal.
Fade out.
