>>7290741It means nothing. Dreams don't make sense. They "show" "tell" or "reveal" little to nothing. and the symbolosm is ambiguous enough to twist it anywhere.
here, let me demonstrate with:
>>7291074Your father, being your boyhood model for some kind of ideological absolution or infallability, comes to you from beyond return, the same way hope returns to you and fleets from you each day. Hope for insight and clarity and what it brings to your sense of self and certainty.
In your pursuit of this redemption/validation/salvation or whatever it is that your father more closely represents to you, you get weighed down in the swamp of your own pathology. Your own boggy perceptions of the kind of absolution you thought was just within your reach. You panic.things aren't going as you planned. You are not god. and you subconsciously know that dream logic is compounding and making less sense by the second. hence, swampmonster. hence, waking up.
Psychology is philosophers and artists playing scientist.That is all.
