End title of Truffaut's Jules et Jim |
I woke up this morning with a strong image from last night's dream. I haven't remembered my dreams for years, due to my heavy marijuana use. I've now been sober for a month and my dreams are returning.
The image was of a tall man thin man in a black suit and bowler hat walking away from me. His arms hang down at his side with his hands slightly behind his back. He is waving his hands, bent at the wrists, back and forth behind his butt. Something tells me the image is of Bill Nighy.
Our dreams make use of the detritus of the day to tell us something important. This image, built on the recent trailers for Living, the new Bill Nighy film, is telling me that the Will living in my unconscious is saying, "Goodbye."
