March 23, 2018 Dream Notations: Daily Life Dreams

     The “On the Roof Top” movie Intimates false and true   awakenings, for example, of pigeon nested prosaic dreams.  

It suggests rising through  roof strata to strata and not reaching a class victory. We haven’t pigeon scratched the surface of the Dreamcoat Havana prosaic awakenings. It is not a movie about universalism but about realizing a prosaic reality dreams. The dreams are concretized in the practical realities of Daily Life in Havana leading to building a rooftop pizzeria, 

Notations  after the Morning of Patricia ODougherty’s Visitation and Wake March 22, 2018 translate  into the On the Roof movie debut. 

The prosaic dreams of the young protagonists in the film actualize in the building of a pizzeria. 

The identity and paternity orders in the movie sequences

Fall into John Dunne’s method of “morning after”  notations in “reverse memory!” We, companeros,drank Charles Shaw, Merlot,  at the meal following the Mass.  Merlot is a friend like the bonds of the protagonists in the film.  We also drank Sauvignon Blanc at the meal. My early morning Dreams formed a blended memory like the odd roof tops in the film, like hot pizza burning the roof of my mouth, like the wines at the Wake celebration meal.

This meal following the wake places a new contextual Analysis-of the Visitation, Wake, Movie and notations.

     The CONtextual Analysis  is roof top criminality. The building of a roof top pizzeria realizes a CONcrete operational nesting of the young people like the pigeon nesting s  in the movie. This suggests dreams can break through class strata with a business strategy. Take your dreams and make a business move. Drop the false-awakenings  in your life.  Drop the criminality of your dreams and motivations. Serialize your dreams into pizza productivity.
