in the dream



i seem to be watching tv while reclining in a big easy chair and there's a commercial playing that's hard to describe. the mood is a familiar one, yet something one doesn't see much of anymore. the mood of the commercial is very close to the mood for the style of advertisement of a tv sales greatest hits album or cd.. the announcer asks questions like: "Do you remember~?" and "Who could ever forget~" but what it turns out to be are these completely made up 'noise performance art pieces from the early video art 80's' and so when the snippet of each 'song' is played there is a completely absurd frisson between the announcers style of voice and the name announced, which i guess is basically a form of dream sarcasm.. so it was something like 'Do you remember-- SHNAK SHNAK?' and then there would be some guy whacking this object .. or a skull rack of clown heads and spike jones would be playing their bicycle horn squeeze bulb noses, stuff like that, anyway this goes on for a while, i guess it's an infomercial or something.. lost performance art hits of the 80's, but then the point of view shifts to where the tv is looking at the viewer (ostensibly me) and i am totally skeletonized and the room is old and dusty, but lit up, from what appears to be an alien robotic fungus totem thing which has grown from my skull.. luminous, it is actually projecting the television image on the dark dead old television in front of me..
