You sure you didn't get this dream from Bob Brown? Benji, have you been sleeping with Bob Brown, you old dog?
Coupla errors:
* The Port Arthur Massacre, as the name implies, was in the tourist site of Port Arthur, a former convict settlement, not Hobart.
* Port Arthur, in Tasmanian terms, is nowhere near Hobart. Granted, if you come from Canada, it might be hard scaling down distances to Tasmanian resolutions.
* Tassie's never had a female premier. The premier at the time of the massacre was Tony Rundle.
* It did have a premier called Jim Bacon, whose wife was called Honey Bacon. Doesn't have anything to do with the dream or the massacre, but I think that Honey Bacon's an awesome name.
In my dream it was a woman I was expressing myself to. It was in an official administrative building and in my dream I assumed she was the Premier of Tasmania. I entered the Port of Hobart which I could readily identify years later via the internet. Hobart was the port of entry, but the blood, broken glass and debris, felt so realistic that it felt like I was really there. The fact that the dream was so out of context with my paradigm, I was initially more impressed by that than the content of the dream. Why did I dream about Tasmania? I'll never forget this episode. It left a lasting impression with me.
