i dreamt of a man who would not let go.  he grasped so tightly, his fingers turned blue.  he moved from a place where he could imagine himself without to a place where he couldn’t imagine himself at all.  he had lost all sense of self and clung to all around him.

perhaps this was done in an effort to obtain a sense of definition.  perhaps he thought if he attached himself to a definable thing he could, himself, again gain definition. 

he was not aware, at his loss, that he had only lost his own sense of self and that he need not be defined.  it wouldn’t do any good anyway.  he never was.
