Last night I dreamt that I met Bill Cosby in a restaurant (or some other gathering) with his wife. They were very elderly, but also very inspired, because we had just seen some sort of presentation about his career as a comedian and educational activist. I have a great deal of respect for Cosby, and I felt extremely honored to meet him. I said something about how ironic it was that of all the people he had inspired to greater things, he could count himself among them…

They were happy to talk to me, but somewhat embarrassed, and busy, so I didn’t get to say much. Still, I felt very happy to have that experience. His wife was a person I had never seen before (not the actress who played his wife on The Cosby Show). She was very elderly, but also very kind. It is odd that I should have dreamt this, because I haven’t even thought of Bill Cosby for weeks or months. I wonder what it might symbolize?

Last night I remembered parts of two dreams. They aren’t very detailed memories, and I know there’s a lot of related material that slipped away because I was up late last night working on the photography page. It still needs some work to make the .jpg files more web-friendly, and some other things too, but I thought it was good enough by last night to put up.

The first dream that I recalled was of an African-American baseball pitcher. He was striking out MLB batters using a side-arm delivery style. I also knew he had the disposition of Barry Bonds. …and I seemed to know that at one point he had attacked other players wielding a bat. Generally, his conversations were short and abrupt. Perhaps I was to face him as a batter? There was a lot more to this dream, but I cannot recall…

I also dreamt of Manuel Noriega. I saw him in a small plane over Panama, landing. They wanted to make it look like an emergency landing, but I knew it was planned. It seemed to be a covert jungle military operation of some kind (perhaps linked to the CIA???). That’s about all I can remember of this one… Other than the fact that Noriega has been in the news recently, as well as the illustrious Mr. Bonds, I cannot link these dreams to each other or to any events of my personal life. Their symbolism escapes me also. Strange, though…
