Papabear, 

I asked you once before about a dream I had and you gave some interesting responses. I had another dream recently and I want to see what you think

I wasn't in my body in the dream, and I could see myself and my dad. For some strange reason we saw a robbery happening; my dad borrowed a gun from someone who said it was a fake. and he shot the robber. A cop nearby said he was under arrest for using the gun, and my dad said, "It's a fake, look." He aimed it at my head and shot me, 4 times, and after he was arrested, he wasn't even upset that he had killed me.

That is the dream, does it mean anything? And if it helps at all, my dad and I have never gotten along well.

Hello, again, Kumori,

Yes, that last bit of information is rather key, indeed.  Clearly, your father shooting you several times and not regretting it is illustrative of what you think he feels about you. Now, you’ll recall as well that your last dream that you shared (http://www.askpapabear.com/1/post/2012/11/numbers-play-important-role-in-this-furrys-dream.html) also involved someone being shot. That time, it was another furry and not you. Also, in that dream, the key numbers were 1, 2, 3, and 5. Notice which one is missing: 4, which is the number of gunshots in this latest dream.

In your first dream, the gunshot was a call to action, to do something for furries, in this case. In this dream, you are a victim, BUT, interestingly, you are observing yourself from outside the scene, and while you are being harmed by your father, it is happening at a distance and you are not, in fact, ACTUALLY being harmed. Now, while the fact that you see yourself being shot reveals a sense of vulnerability, the second fact that you are watching your father’s actions against you and you are not being harmed represents a position of strength. In other words, your father may try to harm you but he can’t actually hurt you, because, get this, his actions are fake to you, like the gun.

The number 4 is a number of strength, and also indicative that you are “looking from outside the box” (four sides), which parallels the fact that you are observing actions from the outside in your dream.

The number 4 is completing your sequence of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 that was begun in the earlier dream. The dreams are indicating your emergence from a violent, unpleasant situation by becoming goal oriented and emerging victorious over a situation in which your father can no longer harm you (and the fact that he kills the robber shows that he IS a threat, but you can overcome this real threat—the robber’s death analogous to the furry’s death in the first dream, too).

So, although this dream at first seems disturbing and violent, it is actually a positive, life affirming dream for you in the end.

Hope that helps,

Papabear

D.G. Flamand is an author who has made a name for himself as writing books for children and adults that are pointedly violence-free. Not so much as a political statement, but because he feels that people should have more options to read literature that encourages solving problems without violence. He explains it all clearly at his web site. Several of his books have more than a little furry leaning to them. In The Old Druid and the Pursuit of Happiness, the animals of the Land of Peace notice that their ruling druid is troubled — and they follow him as he seeks out the fabled Garden of Happiness.  In The Great Secret of the Seas, a young boy and girl are granted the power to swim beneath the ocean — but find they must use all their resources to save the many creatures they meet there from a terrible fate. Flamand’s latest book (coming this June) is A Thousand Rainbows, where we meet and follow the adventures of various creatures (an owl, a buck, a fish, and more) in the land of Cornucopia. All of these books and more can be found at Tate Publishing.

Papabear, 

I keep finding that I react to music strangely. It seems to be that long on key parts that are just a pitch I can't describe. It's interesting when I hear them I somehow get magically obsessed to hear the song over and over and over again (like 50 times in a row) like I have been hypnotized or something. What do you make of this? If you heard something similar I would like to know your thoughts on it.

Lots of huggles, 

Kim The Jindo

Dear Kim,

I love off-the-wall questions like this one! Thanks for sending it along. I don’t believe what you are experiencing is all that unusual, honestly. There were many times when I was younger that I would become obsessed with favorite songs and then play them over and over and over again, too. I don’t do that any longer, but I think it is perhaps more common for younger people than older people. I mean, I still have my favorite songs that I like to hear from time to time, but I don’t play them repeatedly.

The same phenomenon could be said to occur with movies. Perhaps you have done this as well? Watched a film over and over again until you know all the words in the dialogue for a full-length movie as well as you know the lyrics to a two-minute song? And, I’ve done this with favorite television shows, even today. My current favorite is “The Big Bang Theory,” many of the lines I can recite because earlier seasons are in reruns (fave: Penny seeing the “time machine” in Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment and saying it “looks like something Elton John would drive across the Everglades.” Brilliant.)

I don’t think you are by any means alone in your obsession with some favorite songs. The songs you particularly enjoy may be speaking to you somehow on a very personal level, perhaps even teaching you something, for even music without lyrics has something to say to the spirit, and one does learn best through repetition.

I would be willing to wager that if you asked some of your friends if they did the same thing, they would say “yes,” and you could talk about that and find out more about each other by sharing the music you enjoy and learning about new artists from your friends.

Life is to be enjoyed, and surely one of the most wonderful aspects of our lives is the enjoyment of music.

Way back in I want to say 2005 or so, I stumbled upon a gigantic furry porn site. I believe it was VCL. I can remember an artist named Key or something like it, and he did lots of dog drawings and dragons and interspecies stuff, but when I go back, the artist under that name isn't who I remember.

Some specific drawings I remember: A set of three or four of the same (m/m) couple in a bathtub, someone getting a blowjob in the middle of an office meeting, sex in an elevator.

He had been published in some fur magazine, but I can't remember which one.
