yellow cube dream
---

i am sitting in a leather-backed chair, in what appears to be a corporate conference room 
of some sort. i sat at the head or right next to the head of a long dark table, which had 
several of the same leather swivel chairs surrounding it. there was a window for one 
wall, which made me think i was in a skyscraper or something. i think i might have been
 sitting talking to one or two people, but i don't remember for sure. if i was, they were 
insignificant. next thing i know, a yellow cube slightly larger than a human head appeared
 hovering above a chair across from me. it was giving of a faint sort of shimmering glow, 
but what impacted me most about it was that the instant it appeared i just felt this incredibly strong presence which i immediately knew was the center of all evil. it really 
felt like every terrible thing in the world was compressed into a one-foot-by-one-foot 
yellow cube. physically, my nerves tensed and i got anxious, i was scared for my life. 
after a short amount of time had passed, however, another shape appeared in the seat 
next to me, this time it was a white shape, either a cone or a cylinder (can't remember) 
of about the same volume as the cube. after it's appearance, i instantaneously felt as if 
the immense negativity in the yellow cube had been diminished some, or was being 
cancelled out. following the white shape's appearance, several different-colored shapes
popped up in rapid succession. the only ones i remember vividly are a green pyramid and
something pink (a sphere, i think, but can't place it exactly). as each one came into 
existence, suspended above their respective chairs,  i could feel the horrible aura of the
yellow cube dying away until it was completely neutralized, or at least until i calmed 
down and stopped fearing immediate danger.
*    *    *
that was basically it. what was so amazing about the dream was not the stupid shapes
popping up, but just the incredible physical tension and release i felt as they came. 
i mean, never before in my life have i associated such basic visceral sensations with
appearances of relatively inanimate objects.
