AtD (37) p.1056 Lake dreams; icy north; gravity, mass, no lightness of being

[Mark Kohut]

p 1056

A chapter full of dreams. Lake now has one about a subarctic city where everyone is so fertile and they all "pretend family life". 
Dream analysis 101:
 
Icy North is a Bad Place in TRP's symbolic world and Lake knows this is where her unhappy life/marriage is. (as some cruel English wit said
of Eliot's "The Wasteland": it's about his marriage.). But she dreams of new life--a fecundity she doesn't have, a wish fulfillment dream?---wonderful TRP dream lines, yes?---and a child [her unconceived child?] caught under the ice but ultimately rescued---the word resurrection is used---as she awakes into early sunlight [again], "an announcement of intention"...
 
Lake's dream might be seen as the opposite of Yashmeen's giving birth? 
 
Cf. Prentice living out people's fantasies? Only Lake is unhappy and overcompensating....
 
"wordless, timeless" distraction...."maybe dream within a dream"...........deepest core (of oneself, of the "collective unconscious" [Jung]? ) 

 "of weight slowly to increase beyond endurance".....gravity, unlimited mass?.....weight of the world?......weight of her life? ---feeling weight---the force of gravity---the opposite of grace?----her life a heaviness "almost beyond endurance", a 'mass' that is Bad Shit in TRPs world---the opposite of the lightness of being, of singing and eating bananas.
