You Too Can Be A Dream Interpreter !

Here's an idea: Once in a while I will post a summary of an actual dream I have had. You will then post your analysis in the comments section. Deal?
Here's the first one....

i am watching TV/somewhere unknown/small B&W set/recessed into the wall of a room with the lights out/an elevator to my right opens/my Dad sticks his head out to see what I'm watching/we say nothing/it is a documentary narrated by a father who's son has died/the off-screen narrator(Hispanic) laments all he failed to do & say with son/narrator then comes onscreen and recites poetry while a movie projector shows slow-motion footage of car accidents over him/i am near tears/Dad steps off elevator/goes into kitchen/puts on coat and gathers things including six-pack of beer/He is wasted,sporting a full beard,and looks depressed as hell/there is a homeless and dangerous-looking black woman standing nearby who says nothing and tries to go unnoticed but i notice her/and i know she will rob him once he steps outside/i have to step out the back door a moment/then i realize Dad has left out the front door/i rush back inside/no one there/Dad and woman gone/i rush out the front door/porch light not working/no one in sight/see a mallard duck walking alone under street lamp/it is late fall/hear a wolf-dog approaching from my left/wolf-dog meets a mate/they sniff and play/the mallard avoids them/i notice a fleeing deer to my right who escapes entirely/hooves clacking around side of house and away into the darkness/i turn my attention back to center and realize duck is now a swan that is quaking in fear/he flutters and sqwaks/i worry that the wolf-dogs will notice/
