Le Quartier Sinistre

“Le Quartier Sinistre n’aurait nul besoin de recéler des dangers réels, tels que pièges, oubliettes, ou mines. Il serait d’approche compliquée, affreusement décoré (sifflets stridents, cloches d’alarmes, sirènes périodiques à cadence irrégulière, sculptures monstrueuses, mobiles mécaniques à moteurs, dits Auto-Mobiles) et peu éclairé la nuit, autant que violemment éclairé le jour par un emploi abusif du phénomène de réverbération. Au centre, la « Place du Mobile Épouvantable ». La saturation du marché par un produit provoque la baisse de ce produit: l’enfant et l’adulte apprendraient par l’exploration du quartier sinistre à ne plus craindre les manifestations angoissantes de la vie, mais à s’en amuser.”

Pursuit

tags: anguish, control, dreams, killers

Yesterday I dreamed that a group of young men with guns were trying to kill me in some kind of strange game, and tonight I dreamed that a group of teenagers with knives were trying to kill me again. The fact is that the dreams were quite different, but I guess that both were related with not being able to scape from something that is beyond your control.
