SOM the new Dean Noble cartoon

The Dean Noble Zone.


This is my first cartoon. It is in the form of a slideshow. This is the first release and it is I admit, very crude. I somehow discovered a new website called

www.smashmash.tv

For a limited time, you can download this for free. I will be playing around with this in the next little while and even this cartoon will get a touch up once I learn more about the controls.

SOM

http://noblezone.blogspot.com/2006/11/winter-dreams.html



In April of 2004, I had a dream about Som whom I met in Thailand. She is on the bed, wearing white. She has her arms extended to hold me.
In the next instant, her white t-shirt turns red. This is like an octopus suddenly changing colour. The sudden transforming quality reminded me of the scene in 'The Frighteners' where R. Lee Ermy as the soldier in that graveyard changes from one mode to another, instant after instant.
A bear jumps off of a small cabinet.

Interpretation: Som was thinking of me. White symbolizes civility. Red symbolizes passion and love. Around the time I had this dream, she sent me a photograph of herself wearing a t-shirt that simply had the words 'the bear' written on it.
She was one of the first and earliest dream-figures to show me about the sudden shape shifting quality, that is ability that spirits have.

Instantaneous transformation is an aspect of living in a dimension outside of the time-space line.

It is not only the dead that can teleport and convey their spirits in people's dreams. Only, while the spirits of the living are part time in this dimension and part time in the other dimension, the spirits of the dead are in that dimension full time.

How I really want to do this is animation. The first picture that you see would be one frame that would run for 5 seconds and the second picture would be second frame that would be shown for another few seconds. Understand that her shirt changed colour instantly exactly like a cuttlefish! In other words, her shirt flip-flopped from white to red! Thanks to the magic of television, the next frame would be the picture of the bear jumping off the small shelf exept I would have to actually animate the bear jumping off the shelf.

Yu-Yu Hakusho; Spirit Detective - GBA - I happened to buy this the week after one of my friends tragically and accidentally died of a crystal meth overdose. He was the nicest guy with the kindest smile. In the video game, a young boy on the way to school dies unexpectedly and tragically and an angel of death, personified in this case as a beautiful young blonde Japanese anime animation girl. The hero has to fulfill a series of quests in his development as a spirit detective in order to reunite with and communicate with his friend. Lots of tedious levels. Music horrenderous and tinny. Best left off. Otherwise a spirited run through Earthly neighbourhoods and offworldly woods.
Soon after he died, my friend visited me in a dream. In the dream, I saw him in the hallway of a more shiny and spotless version of the hotel we used to live at. The blue paint on the walls was bouncy and vibrant. If this life is a regular CRT television, that dream hotel was like an HDTV. There was not a speck of dust anywhere. I saw him in the hallway. Just before he died, he had a strange Frankenstein-style bowl haircut, which looked scary and which I should have known was an omen of death. However in the dream, his hair had the nice haircut that he did when I first met him.






He said, "Hey, how's it going?", like he used to. He was wearing a grey hoodie sweatshirt that he used to wear often. He had it off and then it went fully on his head without him using his hands to put it on and then off again in a series of split second images. He asked me for a cigarette which I somehow knew was in the room next to his which indeed there was a pack sitting on a bed. The bed was the only piece of furniture in the room.
He opened the door to his room and went in, telepathing to me that he had an appointment to go to in the morning. The room he went to was a cleaner, spotless version of the room he had in the Earthly realm. The furnishings were minimal, a bed, a chest of drawers, a bedside table. The bed was arranged in the center of the room.
3 stars.

Dream: William Burroughs




I once had a dream where William S. Burroughs and I were in a hotel room in what I recognize to be the hotel above the bottle depot on the North side of Hastings St. between Carrall and Columbia. An Edith Piaf record was on.
He sat across from me in a chair and I watched him change from young boy, then teenager, then young man, then older man, then old man.
This reminds me exactly of Nintendo GBA's STAR WARS lego 2; the original trilogy when one presses the select button in freebase, I mean free play and the characters go from one to another, zoom zoom zoom zoom. I have long suspected that video games contain certain arcane metaphysical, even paranormal clues, like Nintendo GBA's The Third Age, Pelennor Fields level where the ghosts disappear backwards when they are killed, and like the receding bunches of bananas that form the uppercase letters 'B', and 'R' in Nintendo GBA's Donkey Kong Country 2 'Hot Head Hop' Level.
