In my dream, I was hearing and seeing a semi-real life (in a make believe form) made-for-TV cartoon play before my eyes. The sound of the narrator’s voice was older and wise sounding. The narrator was talking about how a little boy cried when a mean old man took his pet pig and had its head cut off. Then, the little boy talked to his dad after having cried, and pleaded “Why did he do such a thing!” Then the boy said, “Piggy Wiggy was no bear, Piggy Wiggy had no head nor hair, Piggy Wiggy wasn’t Piggy, Wiggy?” Then, I saw the piglet’s head mounted to a roughly carved wooden body. The boy cried “Why did they do this to you, Piggy Wiggy?” Then the boy’s father said to me, “Did you ever wonder why they killed pigs in order to make bacon? I sure did.” I replied, “Well, for me it was ‘why do they have to kill cows in order to make ice cream?’.”

Then, as I was saying this, I began traveling in my body, floating about 30-50 feet in the air, and I traveled down a nearby road. I saw a stuffed black and white toy cow, which was near the road in someone’s front yard.

The next thing, I was talking with three college-aged students, about 21-22 years old. It was the either the year 1979 or 1980, as I could see these numbers in my mind’s eye. Their clothes, hairstyles, etc. reflected this very well. I could hear the song “Boogie Oogie Oogie” playing from a small radio in another room. These people were all about acting “cool” and putting on airs. I really felt like I had traveled back in time. The young woman, who was 22, was phony, and wore large frame glasses (just like those that were popular in the early 1980s), and she had an attitude. There were two guys there as well. One guy was wearing a thin polyurethane jacket with lettering, and had very curly hair, while the other guy had kind of medium-length, dark slightly puffy hair. I realized that I was in someone else’s body when I was talking to these people. I remember seeing the several of the rooms in the split-level ranch house, which was disorganized, and the small deck attached to the side of the house. I asked the woman about her drug use, which seemed to make her very defensive. The guys more or less mimicked her in a mild way in order to meet her approval.

Something in your life that happened recently has triggered feelings and memories of your hopes and dreams being torn apart.
The older wiser narrator is you as an older, wiser person. The little boy is also you, the boy's father is yourself, the supposedly wiser person who destroyed your little boy self's hopes and dreams represented by the pig. Once upon a time you hoped and dreamed to do something big and important, but in reality you chose to go a completely different path. Older and wiser now, you recognize it was a stupid choice to make (hence the seemingly stupid poem) and ultimately a hurtful choice (represented by the treatment of the pig). Something has happened, a recent choice or decision you made that went against your inner dreams, like giving up something wonderful in favor of taking care of a lame and stupid responsibility (along the lines of paying for a child's preventable car accident or bailing a child out of jail instead of taking a nice long vacation - get my drift?), and you feel as hurt as you did when you chose as a teenager to give up your secret childhood wish or dream.
That's part 1.
Traveling in your body is traveling to part 2. The road is your current path, the job or career you have now, the place you are living, etc. Apparently it is just there, benign, but the stufffed black and white cow represents some odd things. Black and white means you want your answers to your problems in black and white. The cow itself can have several representations, first it is a female, and second it is where milk comes from, meaning you wished a female mother figure would help you more often, but since your cow was a stuffed toy, you feel a bit let down by your female mother figures in your life. You passed it by because ultimately your female mother figure was of little or no help to you in your life, but secretly you wish she had.
Part 3 offers clues to your current situation. You had another opportunity to follow or pursue your secret childhood dream, didn't you? And it was in college where you chose not to follow your childhood dream, but chose another path? The phony woman and the cool people putting on airs means you were influenced by the stupid trappings of what you thought meant to be a grownup - smoking, drinking, sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and now, looking back, you finally realize how stupid you were to be influenced by such false disguises. What was cool 20 years ago - the party scene - is no longer appealing to you. Your reference to the little boy inside you and the older, wiser you telling yourself of the "Piggy Wiggy" story means you wish you could somehow teach the next generation not to kill their dreams or be influenced by the stupid choices that were in front of you 20 years ago.
You know, the best advice I heard about going back to school was from someone who said, "yeah, it will take 10 years to get your degree. But you can either be 10 years older, which you will be anyhow, or you can be 10 years older with a college degree." So I went back to school. 20 years later I am working on my 2nd degree and planning my first internship at the ripe old age of, well, old enough to be starting a 2nd career. Maybe you should start taking community college classes to get your feet wet towards working on your childhood dream. At the very least you could volunteer. Wanted to be a farmer? Try planting a garden or volunteering at the local community garden. Wanted to have a pig? Become a "gentleman farmer" and raise one or 2 piglets and sell them at the auction just for fun. By volunteering you try out your dreams for free and can walk away with no committments if you choose. But at least you can say you finally gave your childhood dream a shot.
Good luck. Really, try volunteering and give your childhood dream a try, regardless of what choices the next generation makes.

Wow! You must write for the films! My wager is that you're a individual who 'lives' to your mind. You are cerebral, a philosopher of deep ideas, an observer. So your mind represents -you-, the truly you, your persona, your deep mystery ideas, your sort. It's the well factor approximately you, men and women such as you in your brain. So it fell out, variety of an 'out of frame revel in'. Maybe you're feeling alienated. Very traditional for cerebral men and women. Of direction 911 did not care. They're no longer mounted to manage peoples' brains falling out. If you are alienated it is YOUR situation, it is 'cos you are exclusive, you are no longer like such a lot men and women. And 911 is there to support them, no longer you, to support traditional men and women who are not making quandary, whose brains do not fall out.
