Once
there was a time for you to put the blinders on, and
that is exactly what you did. Not only was this a
terrific time in your life, but the lack of peripheral
vision kept you quite safe and happy. You are well
past that now, so you need to fight the tendency to
be shortsighted and provincial. This has caused you
and others plenty of pain and heartache in the past.
If you can put all your reservations aside and accept
something as a new adventure, there will be plenty
to learn. And you will gain an awful lot.

aLLen's INCREDIBLY strange reX.dReam...
8:12 am
Hiya
Rex. Mark Allen here. I had this INCREDIBLY strange
dream about you last night. At first it started out
really whimsical and funny, then it got downright disturbing
and Freudian. Very very strange... I woke up like "Whoa..."
Anyway, just wanted to share it with you:
Later
babe!

1/23/02:
I am in
my apartment in New York. It is daytime and sunny outside.
I am looking at this big hardback book I have called
"Modern Architecture and Interior Design"
or something like that. It appears to be a book that
came out sometime in the 70's and is filled with color
photographs and descriptions of fantastic homes from
all over the world. Some are classic homes like the
falling water house by Frank Lloyd Wright and some are
by newer, lesser known designers. The newer homes are
more outrageous. I am looking at each
home and admiring them. All the houses look really amazing.
Suddenly I notice that in one of the photographs, I
can see hanging on the wall of one of the houses is
this large version of this magnet that
Rex from www.rexsworld.com gave me when I visited him.
The magnet is a caricature of Rex's face. It's a very
recognizable design so there is no mistaking that it
is the one. But this photo was taken some time in the
70's. How did a large replica of Rex's caricature face
magnet get hanging on the wall of this house over two
decades old? In a photograph that's just as old? I'm
totally baffled and I keep looking at the photograph
to make sure it's real. At first I think it must be
some amazing time travel thing that Rex did somehow
where he zipped back in time just as they were taking
this photo in the 70's and hung it on the wall really
quick when no one was looking. Then I think that maybe
Rex, or whoever designed the magnet saw this photograph
first and then copied the design exactly. But it's unmistakable
as Rex's face in the here and now. Rex was a small child
at the time this photo was taken... so how could that
be?
I turn the pages of the book and suddenly yet another
Rex magnet design shows up on another wall of another
house in another photograph - this one a black and white
one taken in the 50's! I thumb through the book and
suddenly notice that there is a Rex head magnet design
hidden somewhere in almost every home, in every photo
- either hanging on the wall or leaning against a bookshelf
or
wherever. I even see one Frank Lloyd Wright house has
the Rex head design carved as a kind of pattern onto
the wood panels separating some of the rooms in one
of his most famous homes. He even has the Rex head design
done in stained glass in one of the rooms. I am stupefied
and amazed.
I close the
book and see that the cover of the book has now changed.
There is a huge Rex head design on the cover, with a
kind of air-brushed halo of light behind it. The title
of the book now says "Tons
Twitty Halos" or "Twinkle Twitties of Halos"
or something like that. I look away from the book and
then look at it again. The Rex head design has now changed
and it depicts Rex squinting his eyes and blowing up
his cheeks. There is a cartoon drawing of smoke coming
out of his ears. The title of the book is now obstructed
by the Rex head design. Suddenly the book is kind of
laying on a table on the other side of the room. The
Rex head, in 2D - like a cut out piece of paper, kind
of floats up off the book at an angle and starts talking
to me. It moves like an animated cartoon. I am having
a conversation with the cartoon head now. At first I
am thinking it is incredibly strange, then I am thinking
that this is totally normal and
this is how Rex and I communicate - like we have some
special weird internet hook up or something where his
cartoon head appears floating over an architecture book
in my apartment and talks to me. Do I appear in one
of his books as a cartoon head, on the cover, and talk
to him in California?
Suddenly I am in Bakersfield, CA. I am at Rex's house
and I am in his
bedroom. It is daylight outside and we are sitting on
Rex's bed. He has his white bathrobe on. He is leaning
back on the bed with his arms propping him up and he
is just staring at me. He has a very stern look on his
face like I'm not sure he wants me to be there in the
room with me. I can't figure out what's wrong and Rex
just keeps glaring at me and not moving. One of Rex's
cats is sitting on the bed to his left, licking it's
paws. Suddenly Rex's mom is in the room and she has
some sort of dental tool and she is sticking it in Rex's
mouth. The whole time she is digging around Rex's mouth,
he has not moved an inch, he is still facing me and
giving me that dead, unblinking stare like he doesn't
want me there. Rex's mom just keeps digging around in
his mouth with the dental instrument, like she's really
concentrating on what she's doing.
Suddenly out of nowhere Rex's mouth grows to the size
of a barrel and this GIGANTIC orange cat comes squeezing
out of his huge mouth like it was being born out of
it. Except it's
a full grown cat and it' also monstrously gigantic (but
in correct proportion), like a giant's cat. It's incredibly
freaky, like
some bizarre birth. Rex's mouth is now normal size again.
The whole time that Rex's mouth grew and the cat squeezed
out of his temporarily giant mouth, he continued staring
at me without blinking or moving.
It was so
weird. Rex's mom and the giant cat are now gone and
we are alone again. I get the impression that Rex didn't
want me there because he didn't want me to witness what
just happened. Like that happens all the time or something.
Suddenly Rex's mouth is really big again, like open
really wide and I can see inside it. Rex seems to
be motioning me to look inside his mouth. I peer into
the large opening and it is totally pitch black dark
inside. I see that the inside of his mouth is much larger
that what it appears to be on the outside (even though
on the outside it's grown huge like the size of a Volkswagen).
I see way, way in the back of his mouth is a little
window like you would see in a basement. There is light
outside the window. It is the only thing I can make
out in his mouth. So I guess the inside of his mouth
is a dark basement. I see a woman standing by the window,
a middle aged woman. She is looking out the window at
the sun and grass and birds outside. I can hear the
birds coming through the basement window. I can tell
that the woman feels
"trapped" in the basement, or inside Rex's
mouth. I want to go to the basement window and hear
the birds, they sound so pretty and inviting. I think
I also want to go console the woman and tell her that
it's OK, she isn't trapped in the basement/Rex's mouth
thing and I can help her to get out. I want to go in
and do all this but I know that means I will have to
go inside Rex's mouth and I don't want to do that. I
look up at Rex's eyes over his huge upper lip and they
don't look stern anymore. They look a little curious
but mostly resigned.
