In my dream, all of the collapsed ceilings reformed above us. The fire went back into the bombs, which rose up and into the bellies of planes whose propellers turned backward, like the second hands of the clocks across Dresden, only faster.
In the dream described, the narrator envisions a surreal reversal of destruction. The imagery includes collapsed ceilings that restore themselves, and fires extinguishing to return to bombs. This symbolizes a longing for undoing the devastation experienced, particularly relating to war and trauma.
Additionally, the planes are depicted with propellers turning in reverse, suggesting a desire to return to a time before conflict. This dream reflects deep feelings about loss and the impact of violence on lives, reminiscent of the historical events in Dresden, thereby highlighting a wish to reclaim lost time and innocence.
