DUCKS
Dream: 28 May, 1986

A boy is closing the big iron gate. I place potted plants on each side of the
doorway. There is a sign on my body that is flickering. There is a little duck
holding a root with two leaves in its mouth. I put it into my papa's little
pond. One sticks its bill out of the water from the bottom of the pond. The
water is so clear. Everyone is asleep. I got up to paint too early. It doesn't open
until 6:06. A woman gives me the key. I use it to open the main gate. This
key is rectangular. It has a round head on top. I stick it through a square cave
hole and use it to hook a bottle inside. I'm pulling the bottle out and a round
wire hoop comes flying out, which means that the lock has been unlocked. A
women at the mouth of the cave helps me open the lock. I run out from the
long corridor. A snake comes racing out. It twists and coils and winds its way
behind in pursuit. I run past. I don't allow it to chase them. There is a silvery
black flower on the floor. Its image soaks in the water, beneath the black
shadow.


梦1986 年5 月28 日——鸭子

一个男子在关大铁门,我把几盆花都摆在门边,我身上有一块牌子在闪光,有一对小
鸭子嘴里咬一根两片叶子,我把它放入爸爸的小池塘中,一个在水底嘴巴冒出水面,
池塘的水清极了,人群都在睡觉,我去画画起得太早了,六点六分才开始,一个女人
把钥匙给我,我拿它去开门,这钥匙是一个长方形,上有一个圆头,我用它在一个方
洞口上往里勾住瓶子,瓶子向外拉,飞过来一个圆铁丝,说明开了锁,洞口里有个妇
女帮我开锁,我从长廊里跑出来,跑出来一条蛇,它盘他们后面追,我跑过去,不让
它追他们,地上有银黑色的花,它的图形都泡在水中,在黑影底下。
