GG: Another Dream
While the space dream is quite prophetic, I also find the recurring
"nightmare" if you will which GG describes in "Off the Record" very
telling of his personality.
GG is responding to the question why he doesn't like to do live
performances (the documentary was made in 1959 when he was still doing
live performances). He said he is in the cottage on Lake Simcoe and
he wakes up and looks out the window. It is the end of his summer
vacation, just before he is to return to school. Instead of seeing
grass and leaves and trees, he sees nothing but rock surrounding the
cottage. He explains that it is the lack of control over his own
schedule (much the same as when one returns to school) which disturbs
him so.
For some reason, I find this dream just as amazing as the space dream.
