I think Alan's onto something (or perhaps he's 'on' something, anyway) (And some have observed the cannibalistic overtones of some of his other statements: "OK, I'll bite," etc.) Yikes! Watch that man! (Seeing cannibalism in your dream, symbolizes a destructive and forbidden desire or obsession. In a literal sense, cannibals consume people's lives, along with their energy. This dream may then denote an aspect of your life (career, relationship, children...) which is consistently draining your enthusiasm and vitality. Dreaming that you are a victim of cannibalism means that you feel that you are being "eating alive" by work, a relationship. or a situation in your waking life. {Dreaming that you are a cannibal on the other hand, is obviously the opposite or inverse of that.}) He suggested: AUTOPHAGY Definition: \Au*toph"a*gy\, n. [Gr. ? self + ? to eat.] (Med.) The feeding of the body upon itself, as in fasting; nutrition by consumption of one's own tissues. To which we can append as an hypothetical explanation of symptoms (in a figurative sense): ECHOLALIA Pronunciation:`ekow'leylee-uh Definition: [n] (psychiatry) mechanical and meaningless repetition of the words of another person (as in schizophrenia) EPANODOS Pronunciation: i'panu`d?s Definition: [n] repetition or recapitulation in reverse order -- O more exceeding love, or law more just? Just law,indeed, but more exceeding love! --Milton. EPISTROPHE Pronunciation: i'pistrufee Definition: [n] repetition of the ends of two or more successive sentences, verses, etc. A figure in which successive clauses end with the same word or affirmation; e. g., ``Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I.'' --2 Cor. xi. 22. Does it help understand Lone or BOC - or why you might like these? Is our culture autistic? Unable to flow, only able to feedback? On the other hand, there's so much being done now that is inspired. You know what it is and it is NOT Blands of Collapsa... Could it be found in Oval? Or on the Kranky label? Hmmm? Yer ! is as good as my ! Tell us all now all you, where its at. -- Alan Lockett <Alan.R.Lockett@bristol.ac.uk> wrote: OK, I'll bite. I guess it's stating the obvious to point out that it bears more than a passing resemblance (esp. 'My Eye'). Any relation? Who was that Lone man? 'November dream tape' almost sounds like a parody of one of their titles. So now we get artists knowingly recontextualising artists of the 90s/00s, who are knowingly recontextualising the sounds of the 60s/70s etc etc How post-post-modern do we want to get before we implode? Is 'Autophagy' a word? I just coined it, if it isn't... alan --On 18 May 2006 11:33 +0100 David William Newman <dwnewman@clara.co.uk> wrote:
