A Peak into the Subconscious

My subconscious has been conjuring up rather bizarre dreams lately. The images left such an impression - like those cool watermarks you can imprint in the background of Microsoft Word - that it left me sitting in the dark wondering 'what the'. So along came Google to the rescue. Here are some brief interpretations of the symbols:

Burning Forest
If you dream of a fire in the forest, you need to pay close attention to your health.
[My interpretation: I've been doing too much printing at work]

Apes/Orangutan
To see a small ape cling to a tree, warns the dreamer to beware; a false person is close to you and will cause unpleasantness in your circle. Deceit goes with this dream.
To dream of an orangutan, denotes that some person is falsely using your influence to further selfish schemes.
[My interpretation: a) been observing too much primatial behaviour; b) I'm not eating enough bananas; c) I have an issue with my opposable thumbs *thumbs down*]

Saving an animal
To dream that you are saving the life of an animal, suggests that you are successfully acknowledging certain emotions and characteristics represented by the animal.
[My interpretation: Perhaps eating too much McDonalds - doesn't $1 from every Big Mac go towards the save an organutan foundation or something? That could be a bit old school. Either that or my brain is telling me to watch Gorillas in the Mist again.]

Anyway, hasn't the aerial skiing proved to be drama on snow?! Days of our Snow ... The Good (Camplin), the Bad (Cooper), and the Ugly (Ierodiaconou). The sequence of events is a reflection of life really. Which category do you fall into? :

Camplin
Darling child of the media. Blonde Aussie with pearly white teeth (sponsored by colgate of course). Suffers extreme adversity but life awards her for her Herculean bravery and effort. Can't put a foot wrong and comes up with the goods under pressure.

Cooper
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Aussie but not blessed with the blonde locks and cheesy smile. Also suffers adversity and not rewarded for diligence and perseverance. Chokes under pressure and justifies by referring to her new claimed world record.

Ierodiaconou
Young, of ethnic descent and probably would be mistaken for a Muslim if she was walking around in Cronulla. Had the best chance of the trio going into the competition but life serves up a crushing blow (to the knee ... and to our ear drums) and doesn't even make pass the qualifying rounds.

Begg-Smith
(Did he tack on the 'Smith' to convince us that he is Aussie?)
Young, good looking and drives a Ferrari. Canadian born, multi-millionaire due to successfully inventing and proliferating pop-ups. Friend of corporations, foe of society. While he's winning gold, we are cleaning virus' from our computers.

Moral of the story? Perhaps evilness does come out on top at the end of the day
