When the lights come up, we see that we’ve drawn all over the page, all out of the lines something we would not normally do. We can’t see the lines that are provided for us to stay inside of to make our picture lovely and discernible. How about doing a simple task in the dark, like coloring a picture? We don’t have correct bearings or points of reference. Who can forget sticking a hand into that bowl of peeled grapes and being told they were eyeballs, or the wet pasta that was brains at the elementary school spook alley as a child? That about scarred me for life! We might be presented one thing but told it is something entirely different. Reality becomes distorted to us, and we can begin to see in our minds things that aren’t really there.
In the dark our imaginations shift into high gear. We have a difficult time recognizing our surroundings and we wonder if there are things hiding there that might GET US! We bump into objects that we know are there but we now can’t see. Were you? Admittedly, it’s uncomfortable to be in the dark. I don’t ever remember being afraid of the dark as a child.
