I just got to work, which means I only woke a bit ago,
Had a crazy, very distressing to be in, dream.
Some ultra conservative force had taken over wherever I was living,
and had decided that males and females needed to be segregated,
and that sex was bad mmmmk?
The theory was fundamentally flawed as they did not recognise
anything other than straight, "normal", males and females.
But I digress,
so I was stuck in the females camp, and it was very stereotypical,
almost like something out of “But I’m a cheerleader.”
We all had to wear pink, we could only do “girl” things,
no video games, no SCIENCE.
Couldn’t read mystery novels cause it required “too much thought,”
couldn’t read horror books because they were “too scary.”
Ok, so this already sounds like a nightmare for eris, right?
It was worse.
I was physically male, and nobody would acknowledge this,
I spent the entire dream trying to convince them I was NOT A GIRL.
I cannot express how very VERY VERY distressing this was.
Nobody would believe me; they’d just pat me on the head and ignore me.
You’d think, that I should have just gone with it, man!
I was the only MAN in a society full of women not allowed to see men.
Seriously, eris, they (the powers that be) didn’t realize I was male.
I was just too concerned with being distressed that they’d somehow confused me for a girl,
and stuck me in the stupid girly stuff society.

But it's just not coming to mind.

I was leading up to saying something appropriately Freudian involving penis envy and gender identification, but then I got distracted by this and have to say that god, it's been too long since I've seen that movie.

Date: 2006-06-03 08:17 am (UTC)as for the dream, I think the interpretation is fairly blatent and obvious, and I'm not like to argue with it.
Even if it reads funny on paper, it was the most distressing dream I've had of that type.
