Symbolism erects a facade of respectability to hide the indecency of dreams.

Discontented women dream of being rescued by Prince Charming. Discontented men dream of finding a horny blond in the back seat ofa taxi.

Promiscuity: optimism, free enterprise, mobility--the American Dream.

I dream of vague shapes that hint of my heart's desire.

Dreams surround our desires with ugliness and dread.
