sexy/scary=not sexy

i am out maybe shopping and i need to make a call or something and also buy a specific kind of candy so i go to the toy store but there are carts in the way in the part of the store i want to go to. i jump over a bunch of shopping carts, thinking myself very clever and agile for being able to access this part of the store with those carts in the way. but there is no merchandise here and i almost get locked in this part of the store, i guess they are closing early. i notice that there is no merchandise in the front of the store either, just an enormous set of blue chairs, one bigger than the other, the bigger one maybe 12feet tall.
disapointed i walk to the mall across the street. notice something in my hand, some kind of b&w illustrated post card or something that had cost 25 cents i must have bought while talking to the young lady at the toy store about the chairs.
i am walking around the mall. i see a bunch of teenagers hanging out languidly in the sporting goods store. now that i think of it, the sporting goods store is set up like the lion exhibit at the zoo. i think about buying a soccer ball, but i am afraid to go near the throng of teenagers. i think about going to the food court just beyond them, but change my mind, over-priced junk food.
so i turn around to go back from whenst i came but there are hundreds of people on the ground wrapped in yellow or gray towels. i try to find a way to walk past them but they are blocking the entire corridor. then i realize that they are having a religious experience of some kind, God seizures or something. so then i am quite freaked out and frantically try to find a path to walk past them but there is none. i go into a store but they are in there too. not densely packed, but i cannot leave the mall through that store so it makes no difference. i am back in the main corridor trying to pick my way out when i notice that some of the revelers/worshippers are naked. then i notice that some of them are mmm-sexy! but they are not really old enough to be sexy, 15-17 yr old maybe. there are all these sexy naked teenagers wrapped in towels, like bathroom towels, not big enough to cover all their parts, i can see their buttcracks and fronts. i notice they have ash all over their thighs, i pause in my panicking to wonder what the ash is all about. it is possible that the males had yellow towels and the females gray towels, but there were a lot more yellow than gray. possible only the sexy girls got gray towels. most of the towel people were laying down alone but some, mostly gray towel people sexy girls were sitting up and extra intense, huddled together, some slumped toward the center, some looked to be leading the huddle somehow. the sexy gray towel girls seemed too young to think dirty thoughts about, then again, i was really freaked out and too concerned with escape to really look at them. they had Victoria's Secret model hair and bodies. possible i just assumed they were young because it was the mall and they were hive-minded. they certainly seemed powerful, or able to conjure power through their bizarre ceremony.
i dont know what part being naked at the mall played in the ceremony, but i should add that the whole time i am freaking out trying to escape, the languid teenagers in the lion exhibit sporting goods store were completely unimpressed and rather oblivious.
i should also add that other people were at the mall as well and were similarly blocked by the towel people, but werent panicked like i was. they quickly became imperceptible to me as my panic increased.
unsure whether to be aroused by the powerful sexy girls/women or afraid and continue try to escape, i decided to just wake up.

this dream happened when i fell asleep contemplating the Sharon Olds poem and Kubrick's film, which i wrote of in an earlier blog.
i think my subconscious must have also thrown in memories of being a teenager at Jesus camp, cute girls not seeming so cute cuz they were... i dunno... Jesus camp is just not a sexy place, ok.
