Surreal jungle

(moviesque)
I'm walking through a jungle.
I'm topless, and my nipples have darkened considerably.
An elephant walks past, and lions start jumping off it's back,
one by one, until four or five of them are standing in a clearing.
I turn towards a nearby lake and see an animated mermaid sitting on a rock.
Then I am standing in front of two mirrors.
One is flat and very clear, the other is concave.
The first mirror has the word "love" reflected in it,
the second reflects the word "what".
I get an image of Marcel in the midst of a whirlwind, shouting "I love you..."
I can't quite hear him, I'm shouting back "you WHAT?"
The image fades, and my mother is standing there.
She smiles and points to a family of bobwhites that are trailing along the jungle floor
"THEY know..." she says. Then she's gone.
I begin to notice different birds and animals around us.
I see a large toucan and a flamingo that has large twisted spines growing from it's head and tail,
making odd patterns and shadows around it.
I say "what the fuck?" then hear a loud car noise.
I turn to find a group of hot rods carved from ivory.
Kirk Cameron steps out from the drivers seat of one.
(like a bad action movie for kids)
I realize I'm in an area near Cairo, where I got my lapis Bast statue.
A beast that's a cross between an elephant and Barkley
(the huge dumb dog muppet from Sesame Street) crashes through the trees.
It has a large metal headpiece around the top of it's head.
The Kirklike man has an extremely unpleasant expression on his face and says
"I'm gonna fuck your heart and suck it out later with a straw!"
I'm both frightened and amused by this declaration.
I make a face and say "yuck!"
then climb upon the barkaphant's back and ride away.


Cryptmaster

The Cryptmaster and Yvonne (a drag queen friend of mine)
are running an interactive memorial for Kurt Cobain.
This consists of a room with pictures that move
and letters from people covering the walls and ceiling.
The room has a large gold plaque on the door that reads "pseudo art".
Yvonne and I go through a walk through a nearby park.
It's quite dark out, and ghostlike figures wander aimlessly around us.
The Cryptmaster locks himself out of the room by accident,
and can't beat on the door hard enough for anyone to hear him
(for fear that his hand will come off)
so he begins to weep uncontrollably, lying on his stomach next to the door.
