Death Park?

I had the most unusual dream this afternoon

I was visiting a cemetary themepark in Canada (why Canada?). The first scene i remembered was being on a boat, and seeing these colourful decorated boats going up a river. The surroundings were lush and green, and these 'floats' looked a lot like mardi-gras floats. Someone then explained that it was ritual to remember the dead by their families each year-their caskets were on the boats. My first thought was, "isnt better to leave the dead in peace?"

Next thing i remembered was being on a rollercoaster-going up and down on a bright red coaster over a very lush themepark, but i knew it was a cemetary,or more like a place dedicated to celebrating death.

Then i was wandering about the park on my own. There were areas dedicated to different elements and all over was messages about why we shouldn't fear death. The rides were based on the elements, and i only remembered water. It was a small tunnel-water slide......I dreamt there was a slightly frightening guy who was watching over the ride-he looked like a chinese monk. As i went down the slide it wasn't dark, but beigy and mellow-like rice paper illuminated. I was stuck at the end, and had to remove my coat (why i was wearing a coat on a water slide beats me) then i slided out. The landing area consists of a few large pools, a bit like a roman bath.

There was a large poster hanging from the ceiling with a picture of two guys wrestlling (dont ask why, its a weird dream. And it was olympic wrestling guys, not the wwf sort). The message on the poster was, "Water, to cool your nervousness about death" or something to that effect.

Throught the dream i felt uncomfortable, but never scared, except for the time i wandered into a small corner. It was like an old chinese antique store with old dark wood furniture. It was selling those crystal ball things that have water spinning them underneath. I dont know why but i saw a round red crystal spinning in green water and that scared me so much that i ran away.

I blame: Edward Gore, Potatoes and Tuna Mayo, Oxford's textbook on physiology and twinning's herbal tea. Bad combination man, it was such a weird trip.....Oh and i had Tarkio's Tristan and Iseult on a loop in the background. Will never do that again-not just that song in a continuous loop, but the overall dangerous combination.

Good thing i woke up. Prayed and made some food to calm me down. Will trudge on with PBL. Will have regular tea now.........
