A Camp Bumper Sticker

Not stated · Date unknown · contemporary study

I was... I was watching cars. And there's was a bumper sticker about camp. It was really a lame camp, I don't know what it was but I remember thinking it was lame. I was like, man it would suck to be the person who was like yeah I am the counselor at this lame ass camp. And um I guess before that, there was like um this like I guess tunnel thing, and like I guess I like threw something, it has something to do with the tunnel, and it...that brought me to watching the cars, umm yeah I wish I remember what that camp was, but I don't know... It was sunny, a nice day, and I was thinking about that lame camp outside watching the vehicles. Yeah I think that's it, I'm done.

How traditions have read this kind of dream

Psychological

Houses, corridors and endless stairs are frequent dream settings. Some writers read buildings as figures for the self; others note simply that dreams rebuild the spaces we move through every day.

cf. Stevenson, A Chapter on Dreams (1888)

Mythological

Labyrinths, towers and underground cities appear in myths from Crete to Babel — built places where people lose their way, reach too high, or find hidden kingdoms.

Greek myth; Genesis 11

Chinese traditions

Tang tales like “The Governor of Nanke” place a whole kingdom of palaces inside a dream, only to reveal it as an ants’ nest — a lasting image for the brevity of worldly glory.

Li Gongzuo, c. 802
