Had a strange dream. I was on a small boat in the middle of the ocean, with Oleg Berezin, a super-smart Russian #film industry analyst, post-production studio owner in St-Petersburg and SMPTE rep in Russia. And we were preparing a #burial at sea of 3 corpses.
You might have seen the procedure on TV: a body / casket on a plank, covered by a cloth or flag, tilted and off it slides into the water.
We’re busy going through the mechanisms, to distract ourselves from the sadness of loss, the emptiness of #grief to contain our own isolation
from land, offshore. And we’re not the closest friends in real life with Oleg, so we kept it rather formal and practical.
And I don’t know who was under those 3 flags.
So we hit the lever… and the tilting mechanism doesn’t work, jamming mid-way. And we have to push the bodies into water manually.
They splash and I woke up with intestinal muscle cramps. 🙁
