Nietzsche and the Dream

I love (most of) my dreams!  Like in the movie Inception some of the weirdest things could take place there.  They might be even weirder because I enjoy fantasy and science fiction.  I'd have to dig through my dream journal to see when I had this dream, but just before my brother woke me, I was looking at plastic keys like the ones above only they were seahorse shaped instead of key shaped.  I kept telling my brother "Kevin! Don't touch the violins!" as I was looking at these keys.  In my dream, there were no violins, and in my head I was labeling these keys as seahorse keys, but for some reason some part of my unconscious brain told my mouth that these keys were actually violins and that Kevin (who was also not present in my conscious perception of my dream) was about to touch them.  My brother, who shared his room with me kept asking me, "What are you talking about?"
"Just don't touch them!" 
"Are you talking in your sleep?"
By the time he asked this second question I had drifted out of sleep, and said "No..."
"Then what are you talking about??"
Then I became coherent enough to sort of realize what had happened, "Just don't worry about it.  Go back to sleep.--"
"I want to know what you were talking about!"
"Nothing!  Now go to sleep!"

As I started my way back to dreamland, I reconstructed in my mind what I had been seeing and compared it with what I knew my mouth had said.  What Nietzsche said about living in a world of metaphor reminded me of this.  As Nietzsche says--and as anyone who studies the signified-signifier-cosign I mean sign relationship will say, our labels for objects are given to these objects arbitrarily.  Gato, cat, and neko are all the same animal (the difference is that the gato wears a sombrero, mustache and serape while the neko wears a hachimaki and squints--only our cat is normal.....*cough cough*).  Other than the fact that all three words are composed of consonants and vowels, there is nothing similar about them.  This non-shared quality says that the label humans give the animal says nothing about the truth of the animal.  Likewise, in my dream, if I was told to label these seahorse keys there is logically no reason why they couldn't be called violins.  In a way, it is because of these arbitrary labelings that Gorgias can argue that the existent is nonexistent.  Humans created the words to fit these two concepts.  These concepts are themselves metaphors for the fullness of the state in which things which are existent and nonexistent.

Take away these metaphors, as Nietzsche says and you'll probably be in a world similar to this woman as she was suffering from a stroke.
