The Dream Is Over- John Lennon

After reading a bit on blondie’s blog about a John Lennon CD, I decided to check it out. Actually her link was to a video on YouTube. While there I noticed a video entitled God-John Lennon. It sounded interesting enough to check it out.
The essence of the video/song is quite simple yet profound. Ah, the dream is over. What does that mean to you?

Right when he sings I don’t believe in Elvis, YouTube Crashed! Site won’t come up.
I believe he knew that ALL OF THIS is a dream, and for him the dream is over.

I have gone back and the video works fine. ??
Lennon’s take on the situation seemed clear. Still as with many things there are bound to be various interpretations.
The dream may be over, or it may be restarting. In either case, it is neither good not bad. It just is.
Yes, the blind represents us being blind, to the dream. And the knitting? I think that we are all blind, in a dream, trying to knit a meaningful and satisfying life. But.. we are blind. For it is a dream. And John and Yoko, both had realized that or were starting to get inklings of that.. that this is indeed a dream. And it’s time to wake up. That’s why John no longer believed in JFK, or Jesus, or Buddha, or whoever. How can one believe in stick figures in a dream? Once one realizes that… it’s no longer possible to believe in any apparently separate individuals within the dream.
PS: Yes, YouTube is now back up, but was down for at least ten minutes.
