That's got to be one of the weirder dreams I've had in a while...

I was in the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. With someone, I think, but I forget who. I don't think that was important. Or maybe I was just distracted, because the cathedral was disintegrating. Everything was crumbling. Pieces of the roof falling down all around us, and I knew we should have gotten out of there, but I just couldn't. I was trying to remember all the details, because I knew that once it was gone, it was gone, and I'd be the only one who could remember them all.

I don't know. Weird dream. Really kind of unsettling.

That you're precognitive?

I'm confused. Me being precognitive has what to do with a weird dream about a cathedral I haven't seen in years, which was incidentally in very good repair the last time I was there?

It makes perfect sense, really. It was in good repair when last you saw it, so if you're seeing it broken, logically that has to be more recent than your last experience. A visual image of something more recent than your memory is generally considered a good sign of precognitive activity.

Or it was just a regular old dream that doesn't mean anything. Sometimes a cathedral is just a cathedral.

That cathedral, though, of all the places... Santiago de Compostela was the end of the pilgrim road in the Middle Ages. Not to mention being the Spanish finisterre prior to 1492.

A coincidence. You see symbolism because you want there to be symbolism. It's like what I learned about objectivity in research. If you go into an experiment expecting a certain outcome, you will inevitably skew your data toward that outcome.

Hey, I'm not wedded to the idea that there has to be something deep and meaningful behind this. Except that we are talking about my subconscious, which is a) a little crowded and b) prone to some interesting conscious projections from time to time.

I've been sitting here trying to come up with possible explanations, though, so I may be wnadering a little far afield. Santiago de Compostela did make a fairly strong impression on me the couple of times I was there. And I have an entirely separate connection to Galicia, come to think of it...

Hold on, let me get some glasses and a beard. Okay.

So the cathedral? What does it represent, ya? Perhaps your childhood? Did you have a good relationship with your moder? Repression, blah, id, ego, superego, blah. Clearly you are in loff wid your moder.

...and now is when I run away to classes where you can't get me.

Your Freud impression is a little disturbing. But cute.
