    1. A Month in Review

      3/2/20

      I am in my godmother's house with her many kids
      I am baking
      She gets frustrated by my spilling flour
      I tell her I will clean up
      When I'm done I wipe it all up
      The bread is a small breadstick someone asks me about
      They compliment me
      I notice the house is dirty
      I spend maybe 30 minutes cleaning up their living room of debris and paper left from the kids playing
      My godfather is very surprised and pleased at the end result
      He mentions having a special time on certain days where we can clean like that, as the whole house is disorderly
      I am fine with it because it's superficial cleaning and wouldn't take any time at all

      Transitions to walking down a street with old highschool friends/church friends
      There are several youth group bands set up all singing the same music along the street.
      I have a rolling table stand I am leaning on and roll it over to watch the groups play in unison
      Suddenly a band behind everyone starts playing their own music
      It's not bad it's just not what other people are playing
      The other bands stop and seem confused so they turn around and watch the new band play
      I stand with friends and lean on my pummel horse type stand table while watching

      I am walking down the street with friends again
      My buddy Nate decides to hit on some girls we are walking by
      He tells them he wants to show them something
      We all get on a shuttle/bus that has a sound system
      We all have headphones we plug into their sound ports
      He is playing some song for them he wants the girls to listen to
      I am confused because the music isn't that great
      He then tells one of the girls that she looks just like the lead singer of this band and he thought she would think it was cool
      People are somewhat impartial
      We all now take turns playing music for each other to listen to
      I tell the group it would be cool if we randomly played a song and had the group guess who was the one who selected it as a game
      People like that idea
      We only get a couple of songs in
      One is apparent because it's a sappy hills CW type song that is definitely this helpless romantic girl sitting in the front who used to have a crush on me

      I now notice that I have two small fuzzy very very newborn baby birds sitting on my head
      They seem incredibly premature and I'm not sure they will make it
      I carefully remove them from my head and place them down on a counter
      They are both still alive but I gather they will need some serious care
      I am in a run-down market like a dollar store with no attendant so I start rummaging around looking for materials to build a nest/make food/administer it to them
      I've only seen a few videos of people taking care of birds this young and small
      I get some soft towels and find some creamy soup I wonder how I will keep them warm and look for a hot water bottle
      The attendant comes out and looks confused
      I tell them the situation and show them the birds, they are relieved and sympathetic to my cause

      Driving w mom in a smart car
      She drives off the road, on a log, and almost over a cliff
      I carry the car backward and turn it around by hand

      I am driving through a winter storm with an older woman in the car
      It is a 50's classic now
      The controls are two levers
      It is tricky but manageable
      Highway speeds but tons of snow and ice on the road

      I am kidnapped by a larger bald man with glasses
      He takes us (myself and three siblings) to some old house in the middle of nowhere
      He has an incestuous family
      His kids don't wear clothes and they are all dirty
      I escape with my sister
      We make it a town over before he finds us
      He takes me in a car to a meeting
      The meeting is in an old dim looking pool hall/bar
      They are having a sacrificial service
      They are burning a toddler
      I don't want to be there
      It is a celebration for them they are all dressed up and communing like it is a holiday for them
      I am disgusted and try to leave several times
      Each time he walks me back in and forces me to watch
      It is smokey in the room
      I escape and make it to my car while everyone is leaving
      I call the police to report what is going on
      It occurs to me there were many firefighters and police there and They may be everywhere
      The guy on the other end of the phone seems unphased
      I hang up and key into my car and start to drive away


      3/06/20

      Being given a tour of the space shuttle that is a mix of Saturn v
      There are a few of us standing on the core up high
      There is a screen that simulates the heights and I stand to the side because it is almost disorienting
      Just then the top opens up and we are lowered down the sides almost like a ride
      We each have a chest strap holder like a roller coaster and we line the inside of the craft facing each other
      I wonder if Starship could hold people like this

      I am in a classroom with people I went to high school with
      The math teacher seems hip
      He has long dark hair with some grey streaks
      He also wears black-rimmed glasses
      He has a unique sense of humor and the students like him
      There is a note taped to the front board talking about how his wife left him
      It seems like it's meant to be a morose joke
      A kid I went to high school with is singing/beatboxing a song and everyone is listening to him
      I have the sudden realization that I am too old to be here
      It frustrates me
      I say out loud realizing it is a dream
      'why am I even here? I am too old to be in school!"
      Everyone stops and the teacher looks at me
      The teacher begins talking to me directly
      I don't recall everything he says but he tells me something along the lines of "because you want to learn" it is true, I have been asking to be taught by my dreams
      I just didn't expect it to be so literal
      He explains a few things to me and his voice becomes jibberish
      I begin to wake up
      I remain still and focus on the dream and talking to him
      The dream reappears around me exactly as before with fewer students in there with me
      This happens a few times and I am able to reform the dream and reappear in the same classroom always with the teacher
      The last time I reappear the colours are off in the room
      I ask him why things look different now
      It is almost night time and there are no lights
      I manifest small flames in my right hand and intend them to go along the wall in the back of the classroom, with each one the room gets brighter
      Once they line the back wall they begin to dim and flicker
      I intend them all to be brighter at once and they do
      The room is brightly lit now
      Our studies continue

      I am in the back of a department store mixed with a chemical facility it seems
      There is an invisible person wrestling with me
      I ask them to help me carry cans of a beverage out and they oblige
      I see a girl I used to know hooking up with one of the guys in the bathroom
      They are shocked I walked in but I don't care I just have to urinate really badly
      I set up to pee and go for what seems like minutes
      The guy looks over at me amazed that I am going for so long
      The relief feels amazing
      My penis hangs down past the knee of my shorts when I am done, I don't care

      I am in a gas station/head shop
      I purchase a large water pipe and a smaller rig for oil that looks like the nectar collector but more convoluted
      For some reason, I throw a small weight through a Pepsi machine and it puts a hole in the front of it
      Whenever someone uses water on the beverage station, pop spews out the hole
      I find the water cut off and switch it off to fix the problem
      I find the water hookup to the machine that was broken and unplug it
      I am now able to turn the water back on and other dispensers work


      3/07/20

      There's a taco truck part of a cultural festival thing
      The tacos are super cheap and we buy a few to eat
      Like a dollar apiece
      I have a backpack full of money

      In a friend's house, it is super big with many gadgets and an expensive computer and a voice-activated shower
      I am the rich kid doing some promotional tv spot
      I am walking on top of a telephone booth and something else that is mostly glass
      It breaks with my step and I crash through it falling to the ground
      Broken glass is everywhere
      I am bloody and covered in thousands of small glass shards
      My stomach is cut up too
      I can walk fine but everything stings
      I go to the large house and tell the shower to turn on
      It is a large walk-in room attached to the bedroom
      The water is at the perfect temperature
      I try to clean myself but some glass still remains
      I am picking glass out of my skin the entire dream
      I notice several cars driving down the long driveway from the bedroom which is on the second story
      My friend's siblings have all arrived
      They are all older
      My friend offers me some shrooms to take for our trip
      I eat one to microdose but never end up feeling anything
      They are large like baby bellas not small like normal shrooms
      He turns everything off in his room but tells me to leave his windows open
      The screens are still in place
      We go downstairs and meet his siblings who are all of various ages much older than us
      One of his brothers has a hang drum he is playing on the stage in their front yard
      I want to play it but never make it onto the stage


      3/12/20

      Driving see a circle of sunlight on the moon that fades in a minute or two
      Parked at a campground that is also the parking lot of the spa
      Kevin is giving me a tour of the new facilities
      Everything is updated and newer futuristic looking
      I am crying because I am back
      I pack up and go to leave the parking lot
      Drive down the street before I realize I forgot things on the ground by my campsite
      A necklace and a few more things
      Drive back and there is another car parked in the lot
      I pick up my things slowly and a guy walks up to me and asks me if 73-year-olds can float
      We talk about the tanks while I walk up to the spa with him
      I tell him I was just leaving but I'm happy to talk to him
      He is impressed with my knowledge and glad to talk to me
      I tell him to tell the people in the spa about me
      Mark is standing in the other room talking to other employees

      Fast forward
      I am in a camper/RV
      I am looking at my body and it looks like someone else's body
      My ribs pulsate and roll like a fish out of water
      My elbow has an exposed joint like a puppet
      I am made of a flesh coloured plastic material
      My arm is many mechanisms
      Someone is shocked I don't look human
      I may be an alien
      I say oh, those? Those are just my tubes


      3/14/20

      Some kind of political action event in a long hallway
      People are lined up to hear different other people talk at certain intervals
      There is a woman in a chair trying to talk to people but no one is listening because she isn't official
      There is a man reciting the Hare Krishna
      Everyone joins in and sings
      There is a dance troupe of guys doing a pre-rehearsed dance routine
      I join in for the fun of it but I don't know the dance
      He tells me for the next segment I need a pair of boots
      I don't have any
      They have a special shoe with a brick on one foot
      It is like a stomp routine
      Later he asks me why I didn't dance as tight as them
      I told him I'm not a dancer but I like to dance
      I have no formal training
      He is sitting at a computer
      Upstairs there is a girl who has an amateur bakery in her room
      Her oven is a wood stove made of plywood
      There are tons of fresh baked bread rolls and sourdough in forms
      Everyone seems to be really impressed with her
      She is surrounded by older men trying to court her
      I wait until fewer people are there and begin talking to her questioning about the oven and how it's constructed
      I tell her I wish my parents let me have an oven in my room when I was younger
      It is all a sort of historical reproduction now
      There are hundreds of smaller birds that I thought were moths at first
      They are tiny like the size of cicadas
      They obviously are there for the crumbs
      I ask her who eats the birds
      And a cat appears and catches one on the floor
      She says see, a perfect ecosystem
      We have a conversation about historical reproduction and how someone a hundred years ago would never imagine that we would be baking bread the same way but then jump in our car and go a hundred miles an hour down the highway
      She turns down many gentlemen callers
      Our conversation is pleasant


      3/15/20

      Elon tells me to collect foliage
      They capture a dinosaur and take it across the street
      I have a special calculator that is an mp3 player for Victor
      Nikki falls weird while trying to snowboard down a mountain with fresh powder
      We rescue her and she is embarrassed

      I'm in a large airport terminal/arcade like a futuristic dave and busters
      I am taking a trip overseas with Guy with Ginny too
      I realize last minute I don't have a clothes bag packed and go back to pack clothes
      I'm walking through the terminal and can't find my clothes anywhere
      There is a leak from the ceiling and a couple of small pools of water on the floor
      A worker middle-aged woman tells me not to step there and I don't listen and slip slightly but maintain my step
      She gets mad at me and tells me she is going to get me in trouble
      I ask her if she is a middle school teacher because she's bad at ordering people around
      A cop/guard comes over to me later and is annoyed the woman bothered him for such a stupid reason, he mocks her in front of me


      3/16/20

      Sitting at a four-top table with three other middle-aged women
      They are silently bidding on fancy plates to eat pizza with a fork and knife on
      The woman I am paired up with tells me she only puts one slice on a plate at a time
      We all put our heads down to bid
      I don't understand the process and they are all seasoned in it
      I look at my phone and swipe away a few messages
      The lady across from me chastised me for not paying attention and looking at my phone
      I look up and begin to yell at her and tell them that they are all petty as fuck and this whole process is stupid as hell and I walk away out of the store

      Down the street, I see Nikki by a large tree next to a river
      We hang out and it is a pleasant rekindling
      I am suddenly large and cut like Karl urban we begin to hook up but I am also watching it happen
      As the intercourse progresses there is a power-play between who is in control
      Her face gets blood red and pulsed like she is lifting weights and she grows a beard as she becomes more forceful
      The me I am watching asks her why can't I just love you like I used to, and she shrugs

      I am in a Halloween store with my mother and there are workers in costume just casually walking around
      I go to the makeup section to browse
      There is an upstairs loft that isn't too populated but has a guy sitting at a desk
      He is selling laser-cut temporary tattoos that literally burn complicated designs into your skin but shed within a day or two
      He shows me some demos and I am impressed
      It looks like it hurts but he assures me it's quick and painless, he also shows me pictures of how quickly it fades, I think it's a great idea
      There is a small snack shop connected to the costume store that has three mini sliders for sale
      They have 3 of them put together to show the workers on a shelf up high with a mirror directed to show the reflection
      They seem tasty but I don't try any
      There is a drive-thru

      I am suddenly in a Mexican restaurant of sorts back in the kitchen
      I gather I am a server but hanging out with the cooks
      I see one of the cooks eating his lunch real quick
      There is a paper towel dispenser which is full of long flat tortillas rolled up
      His burrito is half hanging from the ripping part as he eats the remainder
      I take both hands and pull out the last bit and ask him if I can have it while it's already in my hands
      He shrugs and I realize I should have asked before grabbing the food with both hands
      I apologize and begin to eat it.
      It's dry but flavorful

      I am a cowboy in the western 19th century
      I am with a troupe who take over some ritzy plantation with force
      We threaten with guns but aren't overly violent
      The slaves are all worried at first but I assure them they are all free now and don't have to worry about anything
      They are all african american women in their 20s and 30s and they are surprised and happy to be freed by us
      The plantation owners aren't very pleased but go along with it
      We all sit down to have a meal and serve ourselves family-style dishes
      I have huge portions on my plate of coleslaw green beans and potato salad
      It all tastes really good and I talk to the people around the table about how southern food tastes so much better when you're in the south
      There is someone in my troupe who is severely prejudice against army soldiers and there is a soldier who is in the room too
      He tries to fight him and wants to kill him outside
      More army shows up and there is a large explosion


      3/17/20

      There were several episodes to my memory recall. But it picks up. And I am in a homie warm large cottage, that seems like it's at a summer camp or something. Surrounded by people that are there at the camp and they are familiar to me like festival.

      There seems to be a kind of war. For the battle between the two sides, one is a red side one is a blue side people are dressed like pirates, but also like festival ware.

      I talk to a guy who has multiple large sticks/logs, and one of them looks like a didgeridoo. I ask him if it's a didge and he says, I don't think so but it might be and I ask him if there's a hole in the center. I take it from him and begin to look and notice that the log is larger than I thought it was at an off angle and there is a hollow hole through the center of the trunk, but there are many cobwebs and debris inside of it and I don't feel like putting my mouth on the end to see if it reverberates like a didgeridoo.

      At a certain point, there was a female companion with me who felt very warm. We were connected in a way that we knew each other prior to this experience. We spent time alone away from the group, we were inside of almost like a hanging woven wooden egg-shaped chair we sat in together and there was a spell put on the chair so that no one else could see that we were in it even while standing next to us. There was this overarching theme of magic. Like maybe we were magical creatures or we were hanging around magical creatures.

      There are some memory gaps and it transitions to me exploring the outside area and there are multiple buildings all connected with a flat black asphalt pathway, that is almost as wide as a road and is very smooth and glossy. To move quickly. I put rocks under my feet and I'm able to slide down the hill very easily almost like I'm ice skating.

      I see someone else pass me on the other side of the walkway only they are riding a flat disc-like sled. They look at me laughingly and are curious at what's on my feet as they pass me by going the opposite direction. I go to the far edges of the area and there's an older building that doesn't really seem to be used anymore, but there is a small family out front and I gather that he is making fake bigfoot plasters imprints And they are worried that I will catch them in what they are doing, but I pretend not to notice and ask them questions about the building. They say they will open the doors for me but no one is in there, so I don't really care. I end up walking through one of the glass panes into the building and it's like a science museum child's education center. With cartoonish graphics on the walls amongst other things but it is barren and no one is in there. I walk out and tell them what's the point of having a lock on the door if their windows are open, I continue walking around the campus.

      I am suddenly in a theater/arcade area where everything has neon lights. They are low lit like pink neons and green neons and everything feels retro almost like from the 80s. I don't recognize anybody anymore and there are many older games that are being projected on a movie screen in a theater that people are playing. I ask a guy sitting upon a stool playing an old box arcade game what year it is and he says, it's 1980 I say, oh shit I must have time-traveled again. Now realizing that I am stuck in another time. I can't figure out how to get back, so I just wander around and explore the area trying to get to where I came from. Every new opening seems to lead to a new area. None of which looks like the place I was in before.

      There's a big open midway. That seems like the opening of a movie theater with many different doorways going in different directions, it almost feels like a science museum. But more like a theater and everything is still retro colored and the people even are dressed in the style that was popular in the eighties.

      I am in India
      There is a strong current river next to the town I am in there is a long tube wave down the length of it
      I befriend a young girl who identifies as a boy but she looks more androgenous
      We venture around the markets of the town and they seem quaint and simple, yet familiar
      I have one day left in India before I have to travel back and I am trying to figure out where to go to spend it
      I have a conversation about which part of India is more Muslim and which is more Indian traditional
      We are taken to an Indian temple that hosts pagan rituals
      There are several guys in the group who seem like posers to me
      They want to be baptized in pigs blood
      They are lowered into aquariums full of blood and act super affected by the ritual
      While this is happening the temple is lit with a green glow, it is night time
      I begin coughing hard and a long bloody hairy mess comes out of my throat
      I cough up this bundle of blood and hair and feel incredibly relieved when it is all out, it takes a minute or two to drag it out
      I am annoyed at the white guys who paid to have the faux ceremony and gather it is a service the locals provide to tourists who don't know any better

      We are at a convenience store and the guys are being rude and rambunctious
      I have painstakingly baked a cheesecake from scratch and one of the guys found it and ate it all
      I am pissed off because I have to shave
      I grab his mouth and press the remaining cake out of his mouth and smear it on my face to shave with
      I wipe it off with napkins
      We find a snack dispenser that has reusable plastic bags under it of different sizes to our snacks in, I am trying to do the bat conversion to figure out if I have enough money left over to buy some

      There is a large overweight man who comes into the store and pushes over a girl in our group
      I start hitting him with pipe pieces on the floor and he is shocked
      He claims innocence and was just trying to get her attention
      He walks back into the kitchen and asks for hours to work, they put him to work


      3/20/20

      Cooking school under one chef she is female
      We are in blue and red teams
      She asks me to make chocolate ice cream with thousand island
      I spend time walking around looking for the recipe folder
      My friend from my last restaurant job is in the crowd and wants to talk about aliens but I am busy trying to put the recipe together
      It ends up looking like a hamburger bun with ice cream in the middle
      I ask the chef if they are macaroons
      She says no that would be cream on cream
      we take a field trip to Tel Aviv to sample traditional food
      I am excited because it looks very authentic and the restaurant is filled with locals
      We file into booths along the wall
      There are mostly females and I am one of the few guys
      We look at menus and I order a coconut shrimp appetizer but don't remember ordering my main course
      The restaurant seems to be meat-based
      After we place our orders we are ushered next door to a warm springs spa where we can relax and get massages and general pampering
      It is very relaxing and the water feels great
      We are all in our bathing suits
      After some time we finish as a group and begin to congregate in front of the restaurant next door for our meal
      One guy in the group is trying to complain/make a joke that we should all be in our trousers to relax, but he is wearing a long traditional dress and so am I. He says "everyone is wearing their trousers come on", I reply slyly, "Oh really? Everyone huh?" Sarcastically, people giggle at me and the teacher next to me laughs at my observation that he is not in trousers
      We sit in new tables this time that are rectangular heavy wooden tables with wooden chairs all around
      There are maybe a dozen such large tables in the hall
      Just as people around us are getting their food a very large crowd of maybe 50 Muslim men arrive in the open-ended restaurant all cheering clapping and singing
      They go from table to table one at a time lifting every chair and table up to shoulder length while chanting a certain prayer or blessing very loudly
      When this happens I notice the women lean backward and throw their heads back and the men lean forward and bow over their table
      I want to watch but an obese man at the table next to me grabs my neck/head and holds it down during one of the blessings
      When they get to our table the food is already on it but we all stand up and let them lift our chairs and table while we stand by and attempt to sing along with the blessing
      Once they finish the whole crowd departs as quickly as they arrived singing and clapping getting quieter as they leave the area
      The whole experience was energetic and mystical almost otherworldly
      We are now sitting at our table looking at the food which has been sat in front of us. I don't remember what main I ordered but I am sure I don't have the right food, other people's meat looks really good but I think I may only have an appetizer
      The dream fades as I look around the table at everyone's entree, wondering if this is family-style or if we are only allowed to eat what we ordered.


      3/21/20

      At a rodeo wearing a long tan coat
      There are many people there
      A native american girl keeping giving me weird looks
      A guy tries to sell me his run-down jeep cherokee for $400
      Jake Neely runs around like a wild beast chasing a cow
      I have a sniper rifle


      3/22/20

      Purple electrical storms
      5 tornadoes/dust devil's
      Eat waffle house to go
      At a school after hours hanging with a teacher

      A large america festival with thousands of people closely packed in
      Run by a company that sells fake underwater experiences using fish tanks and backdrops

      At some underground party/festival and hear a band playing in the basement
      I see a guy who looks like weird al there is no one downstairs watching
      The band sounds awesome like electro-funk and they are wearing costumes like cybertronic spree
      Lasers and light effects and smoke, it is an entrancing show
      I watch and groove for a while and a couple of people show up and are super surprised that I didn't come specifically to see the band and don't know their names
      They both are wearing cybertronic spree t-shirts
      they go back to the band manager and tell them I am living in 2015 and don't know anything but that they need promo people and I might be useful

      Something about Bin Laden coming down a river in a boat to see me
      I have two books I take with me
      We sit in the boat, it feels Egyptian
      We talk for a while
      Afterward, a guy who works for him tells me he is impressed that I talk to girls every day

      Going to Wayne's house for shamanic group
      There are many people I don't recognize
      A lot of them are young
      Gin is with me
      We watch a pixar movie about a dragon that changes colours
      There is a balloon made of glass in the room
      The shamanic practices never start
      I gather he doesn't practice anymore
      His wife left him and he lives alone

      I am trying to get to Wayne's house and driving the car through some shopping mall that is also a restaurant
      People are shocked I have a car on the walking path
      I ask a woman how to get to a certain address she tells me to follow her
      She leads me to another woman who starts to get a table for me
      I tell her I asked the other woman how to get to the address on this paper I have
      She rolls her eyes and walks away
      I decide to use my phone and google it
      I was close, his house is through a shop at the end of a corridor

      I leave Wayne's and walk down the block
      I am in Kettering by a large field
      I see Jack with his drum and many others showing up for an event
      There are maybe a hundred people there
      Jack tells me it's drum day, he asks me to move a garbage bin to the edge of the road so the smell doesn't blow into people while we play
      I am amazed there are so many people gathered.
      I am suddenly upset no one has masks on and everyone is pretending it is like before with no precautions
      I decide to go back to Wayne's to tell him about the drum circle
      He has no idea but is surprised by the coincidence
      He doesn't want to leave the house

      There is a cafe in the mall outside his house with a stage
      There are many musicians who gather to make music
      I have my guitar with me in its soft case but I don't play
      One of the musicians has a rattle that is many hands that clap when you shake it
      He has some monologue about how making tools to congratulate yourself stunts progress when you self reinforce without external checks
      A larger vehicle drives by that he made with dozens of the same rattles automatically shaking and cheers playing through loudspeakers
      It's like a mobile cheering and clapping crowd. But no one is clapping
      I am missing my guitar and go around the stage looking for it, I see several cases that are the same as mine but have other equipment in it
      I realize I left all my stuff in my car
      Someone has my possessions in a felt purse they put aside for me
      I jokingly ask if I can keep the bag and they say no
      I walk back to my car, a child asks me if I am looking for younger people, I say no I'm leaving now, everyone says bye to me

      I'm in a classroom that feels like a mix between an art room and a cafeteria
      I look at myself in the mirror and I am a younger blonde girl with odd shapes painted on my face like Bowie
      I get into a verbal argument with a table of obese african american girls sitting in front of me
      They were making fun of someone close to me and I began questioning them and telling them off
      One of them got up and started walking towards me
      I mock their actions asking them if they were going to hit me because they disagree with me
      I am on a roll and they don't know how to respond because everyone around them is astonished they are being told off by a little girl
      A bigger girl who looks trans begins to get an attitude with me, I tell her off just the same
      People are on my side because I am standing up to horrible people who are known bullies
      She eventually gets fed up and walks away
      People are happy for me
      I make a comment about something big as she walks away because I notice she is a head taller than everyone else
      People go ooooooooh and I feel like I have won the day

      *NSFW*
      Spoiler for NSFW:


      3/26/20

      Road trip south to Florida w family
      Get there and realize Gin isn't with us
      They say she's not invited and I get angry and yell
      It's a white house kinda run down I think it may be my uncle's second home
      We stay on the first floor
      I go to the basement to explore
      It is dark and cavernous like a dungeon
      Cody is with me as we venture from room to room
      There is water under the floor
      There are tons of red jellyfish looking creatures in the water
      I Google them on my phone
      I slip into the water once but they don't bother me
      Cody helps me up
      We go into a larger room that has metal bars all around the windows like a prison and a very large almost statue-like dagger/feather hanging diagonally from the ceiling through the room
      The whole room is musky and rank with cobwebs all over and vines hanging from the ceiling
      My mother's brother shows up and flips on the light switch to the room
      The lights flick on and everything looks normal now, flat white walls and tile floors
      I am shocked that it looked so crazy before and wonder what the effect is
      I pull out my flashlight on my phone and turn the lights to the room off again and shine it
      I see now the effect, the light shines through the thin walls and shows the bars in the other side of the windows and such
      The large feather dagger hanging from the middle of the room is gone
      I try to describe it and mention I have seen it before, I've been here before

      I am with a group of friends in a post-apocalyptic scenario
      Many people are migrating at once and there is chaos
      Large crowds of people walking down the street congregating at certain waypoints to meet with others
      At one of the waypoints I see a girl I used to know, only she looks slightly different
      I glance at her name tag and it says Elizabeth though I know her IRL name is Savannah
      I say loudly, Elizabeth eh? As I walk out of the crowded room with her to my back
      She is with one of her friends and calls out to me when we get outside
      I go back to her and we talk
      She looks different but still familiar, slightly rougher as if life has been tough for her
      She mentions she has a place where we can sleep for the night if we need
      My friends are very interested because we are nomadic survivors now and will take anything we can get
      It skips to the house where she offered us to stay
      We are all in one room and there are three beds in it
      The sheets are made but it feels like an old person's house
      I realize that people have died in these beds and there are towels on the floor at the end of the beds with fluids on them
      There is that stale putrid smell in the air
      I ask if it's true and she says yes, the place she works at deals with body removal and she gets to use whatever is leftover
      I am immediately bothered by the situation
      I cannot sleep in a bed that someone just died in
      Someone in the room questions me as to my hangups and I tell them
      "The fabric of space-time, the literal three-dimensional space is torn or altered by the transition when someone dies. This place is tainted by death"
      The person struggles to listen to me and kind of rolls their eyes at me
      I don't care and leave

      There is a fragment where I am with a large hispanic family
      One of them has started a food truck and is catering a party they are having
      Everything is free and laid out like a cookout
      People have their fill and there is still plenty of leftovers I pick through
      Some 7 layer taco dip
      Some chips, some tacos, and a tres leches cake with white icing
      It all tastes very good but I don't have any utensils and eat with my hands
      The icing goes everywhere

      I am on some gameshow with several over thieves and criminals
      We all take the same tour bus around town
      I gather the theme is something about who can steal the most without getting caught
      We are given nothing and no help
      But everyone must be secretive and no one really talks to each other
      At the store, one guy tries to take a large pallet of rolled quarters but is immediately caught by security
      I bend over to help and hand the stack of rolled quarters back to the guard
      While doing so I skim two rolls of the top with my fingers without anyone noticing
      Sweet I am broke and hungry as hell
      We are all walking around a grocery store trying to figure out what to buy to eat
      Everyone else is looking for packaged processed food
      I go to the fruit isle because it is the cheapest and best nutrients for the buck
      I buy some lemons and avocado with my change
      I go back to the RV we are staying in and make a pitcher of lemonade and eat the avocado
      Someone else was caught trying to steal something
      I go back out and attempt again
      We are by a casino that has large golden letters on a sign
      I take one and wrap it in a towel and barely make it back to the RV
      It is then revealed to me that I have been caught and the whole show was secretly being filmed about us, not about what we were told
      I manage to escape in a bathrobe with my pitcher of lemonade in my hand
      I am with someone else who is older and reminds me of my mentor Doug
      We steal an armored RV which belongs to the security following the show
      They are not pleased and shoot at us as we drive away
      We crash through a gas station and stop for some reason
      Doug asks me if we want an assistant
      There is a younger asian boy who wants to join our adventure
      I am appalled because it is dangerous and I don't think we need to have a child involved with this
      He asks the kid if he wants to come and he says yes so we let him on board
      We drive away speedily while being shot at by the pursuers
      The windows and the car are bulletproof
      I find an assault rifle loaded in the back, I cock it, take off the safety and proceed to try to shoot back, all the windows are barely cracked but not open really
      As one of them starts to drive up close to us on the back right I stick the nozzle of the gun out the crack and shoot out one of their tires
      We are on the highway going very fast and they immediately wreck into the sidewall
      We lose our pursuers and continue driving along
      I begin searching the RV for any supplies
      It seems brand new and not stocked at all
      I find a mini-fridge and go through it
      Nothing but an empty lunch bag in it
      But I pull a cover from the back and discover a boatload of cookie dough of various flavors
      I hand some off to Doug and the kid
      We munch on cookie dough while driving away to freedom, the dream fades


      3/28/20

      I am in a bigger white house sleeping in a bed with gin and another couple
      They are older and the woman looks kind of washed up
      I had seen another couple in the house cleaning that looked just like the other couple and the woman told me it's her sister who is now with her ex. He looks like the other guy but they are not related
      I gather we own the house now but they still live there as cleaners
      They also have kids who are running around
      I am not very amused and find the whole thing rather unprofessional

      I am suddenly in another house which is like a small studio
      There is a guy with a shaved head and hair on the front of his head only and glasses
      He is showing a custom washing machine he built which fills itself with a container of soap and starts itself at a tap, he is proud of it
      He leaves and his girlfriend begins to give me the tour/introduction
      I am in an Airbnb of sorts but it is very small
      It is rustic and in the middle of nowhere in the forest
      The bed I will be sleeping in is in the same room as their kitchen/laundry room and she tells me she will be coming into the room to do things but she won't bother me
      I am fine with the arrangement because there isn't a lot of space
      I venture around the land and it is very green
      There is a small stream running parallel to the property and there is bright green moss all around the base of the many trees
      I see large spiral snail shells in the moss and amazed by their size

      I am suddenly in a post-industrial landscape with a large cathedral-like manor that houses an orphanage or church I am unsure
      I was once part of the community but now gather things have changed and I am different
      They have a prophecy of a dark one I may be fulfilling
      I begin flying around the many rooms in circles high in the air
      I am dressed as Santa Claus
      I continually shout Merry Christmas as I fly by people
      The kids all point and laugh but the adults are cautious and lead them away
      I feel several loose spiral shells in my mouth and spit them out to look
      My hands and face have gone dark
      I am eating a slushy from a paper pack and slow down by an adult, they take the trash from me
      They make a comment I am acting like a child now and laugh though most of them still fear me
    2. A Month of Notes

      by , 02-09-2021 at 12:27 PM (Oneironautic Escapades)
      I have been neglecting to write up my dream journals at length. These are notes from the last month sans narrative.

      1/11/20

      Hanging out with Korn
      Nate doing back up vocals for them
      I scream with them in a performance
      Upstairs in one of their rooms
      Monkey says cool we have enough fans
      I say ok in that case you guys suck ass
      Why don't you make some good music?
      They laugh
      They are doing an acoustic set practicing new music in their living room
      It is a large room with many mementos
      I sit off to the side and listen
      The girls are brainstorming what to decorate themselves as
      I recommend fairies or elves, they love the idea
      There is a fancy marble stair coffee table that has a fancy chess board in the center of the room

      1/13/20

      Jeremy's truck pulling trash bin
      Nate's tequila pond idea with Chris and Andy
      Party in the backyard people jump the fence into my neighbor's pool
      In the basement of my middle school, there is another shadow school
      I attend a guest class with other adults
      It is about lucid dreaming, Smile is teaching
      There's a list of dream websites I ask him if he used Dreamviews he says no
      Park my car at a strip mall and go into a costume store
      Everyone wears different costumes
      Turns into a sickbay by the entrance
      I see Mel teaching different craft classes for kids
      She talks to me about the teacher from my middle school
      I wander the parking lot at night clicking my key fob trying to find my car, other cars keep beeping instead
      I see other cars that are my model but different colors
      Eventually, find my car and drive away

      1/16/20

      Old times video game flea market
      I stow away in a minivan with two girls in the back
      Aleeya likes me, her friend texts me an offer, and her picture
      Ride all the way home with them
      Hide from the parents

      Their family runs a BBQ Restaurant that is incredibly popular
      People line up around the building waiting for them to open
      I gather their brisket is world-renowned

      I am in downtown Kyoto
      Part of a school trip but we have wandered off from the group to explore
      Huge skyscrapers all around and fancy shops
      Feels like a mall
      I am with a friend at first but we get separated
      I am dressed in all green/pirate pagan wear
      I put on a foam life jacket I find by one of the booths
      Look in many stores
      Fancy glass store
      The woman asks me if I need anything
      I smile and say "I have no needs" and continue to browse.
      She tells me the clocks are in the back
      I am blown away by the detail and variety
      I ask my friend if we can just book a single night Airbnb and stay downtown away from our group, he isn't sure

      1/20/20

      Guy shows me the tomatoes he grew, hands me three
      I accidentally eat one and feel bad about it
      It tastes good
      One of my friends Elijah eats the other one
      I only have one left out of the three he was showing me and feel bad because he did not offer me to try them
      I am babysitting his kids while he is at work at a church
      My shower has drywall over the tub and I am using a smaller section
      There are three showers in my bathroom
      I am on a video call with Leyanna
      I am more buff than IRL

      1/21/20

      Who is Erwen?

      1/22/20

      In Spanish class
      Smoke some weed and put in eyedrops
      Class votes on who's drawing is the best on the board in the back
      Everyone votes for Cody's pop can
      Everyone knows he's dead
      I leave the class without looking
      Come back and ask the teacher to show me
      We talk and I tell her he was my brother
      Start to cry while I talk
      The teacher is compassionate
      She is younger now

      We are now in Bosnia/Romania
      My car is in a side lot
      It is glistening purple electric in the sun
      Another person is telling me how to take care of the paint with a special tool
      I get in the car and three black guys get in the back seat as well
      I ask them where we are going fellas
      We drive down the street and they are content

      I am with a girl who is my interest
      We kiss occasionally
      We are on crowded city streets and walking between cafes
      We swim in a pool together, maybe skinny dipping, I have no shame

      I am in front of a restaurant
      Using a special tool with metal spheres on the end of it to break the glass corners of a structure at the entrance
      As one side breaks, it sprays fine glass shards down one side of my face
      I gather I am making the entrance into something new
      A car with an older man pulls up and watches me work for a few minutes
      He is confused
      I try to explain to him what I am doing
      He shrugs and drives away

      1/26/20

      Parents decide to go out to dinner with another couple, they are meeting another couple at a restaurant.
      I am upset and tell them I disagree with their choice because it isn't safe to be meeting in groups of six yet.
      I crawl into the car to express my dismay and they have a daughter of the friends in the backseat. The daughter decides to stay at home with us and so does the father but he quickly disappears somewhere.
      It is G myself and her hanging around the house for the night.
      It begins storming outside and we notice 2 tornadoes forming in the distance so we all rush in and go to the basement to bunker down and wait it out.
      The wind and rain are very loud

      In another house
      Rundown and flooded in one entrance
      The other door has a large hornet hive on the outside of it that buzzes viciously when I touch the door
      The home is decrepit and seemingly uninhabited for quite some time
      I walk back and forth between the two entrances trying to decide how to get out

      I am in another room with several people
      There is a young African American boy being violent with myself and others
      I warn him to cut it out
      He continues so I tackle him to the floor and pull out a shotgun I find on the floor and press the barrel against his cheek
      I say now you stop this now or I'm gonna put a huge hole in your floor directly behind your head.
      Someone else in the room giggles
      He nods his head slowly with wide eyes
      I pump the shotgun several times to empty the shells from the barrel
      Only 2 or three of them are good cartridges the others seem to be crumpled and bunk

      At a certain point, he finds a gun on the floor and starts waving it around jokingly aiming it at me
      I scold him and tell him to never aim his gun at anyone, never let the barrel point at another person he doesn't intend on killing.
      He moves the barrel to the side and up and down trying out the technique, I nod.

      I am back in the house from earlier in the dream, only now I know it to be an Airbnb type setup and the family is away but coming back today.
      We have only lived here for a couple of days but I feel like cleaning up thoroughly
      Opening the windows and scrubbing counters and doing dishes I realize the house was much dirtier when I started than the mess we made
      Check out is 3 pm and it is almost 4 o'clock and the family gets home while I am cleaning
      For some reason, I have a large pot of water on to boil for mac n cheese
      I almost throw away a series of canisters like garden pots or trash cans that are all stacked together
      The owner tells me they are "odds and ends" I gather this is a hoarding family and may not take to my cleaning house that well. Oh well, the kitchen is clean and the fresh air is starting to clear the space.

      1/27/20

      Driving from the passenger seat
      Keep changing seats, driving from the backseat
      A cop turns around and follows me into the neighborhood

      I attend church, Will Smith gives me a turban, Shaq shows me how to put it on
      Boys and girls are separated
      We celebrate afterward and I learn Dave Chappelle was there too

      Beginning of a middle school Sunday school class, I joke they have to audition
      People go along with it we all laugh

      1/31/20

      Get hooked by a helicopter fishing line
      One large hook goes through my right foot
      The other is in my right hand
      They land and still pull me along
      My toes and top of my foot have been mauled and gory
      My knee and leg are torn up too
      It doesn't hurt but I gather I am in shock

      I am driving someone's white truck back to the spa
      I select quick travel and the truck appears across the street from the spa and I am standing inside suddenly
      Nothing looks recognizable
      There are dozens of employees just standing around
      Several clinic-based modalities have been added and I gather there are several doctors working for her now
      It is more like a doctor's office than a relaxing spa
      Mel is kind and tells me to have a look around
      One of her eyes is all red
      There are many new walls and walkways I have no idea how to get around.
      The float section of the spa has been dumbed down and all the old murals have been painted over
      As I walk back I try to walk through a room that has people laying on cots/hospital beds
      A doctor across the room talking to another doctor raises his hand to me and shakes his head as if to gesture not to come this way
      I try to go around but all other walkways lead to this room
      I take the long way around and exit the spa
      I am in a mall now and the spa has an entrance with many signs above it
      So many partnerships it isn't even recognizable as a float spa
      I am sad

      2/02/20

      In a big church service
      Everyone had taken off their shoes
      It ends with a congregation in the back wanting to sing a long traditional song
      The pastor wants everyone to sing it
      The smaller congregation is from an older church and wanted to sing it for everyone else
      Everyone tries to sing it at once and it sounds horrid
      An older man in the group at the back is pointing at me
      I cannot keep my balance
      Everyone else is turned around watching them
      I am standing in front of everyone
      The pastor has everyone restart the song but has a favorite kid begin the lyrics
      They are on an overhead projector at the front of the room
      It has like 5 verses

      2/03/20

      Boxing fight hug punching
      Food festival giveaway large tent with a band
      Tryst with Em, put up a tarp from rain
      They cut people's hair
      Nighttime kings island run
      Bathroom with ancient symbols
      I have seen the real thing
      Shoot purple energy from my hand
      I am magic and elusive
      The invisible one is someone else and threatens our family

      2/04/20

      I am in Hank Greens classroom talking to him
      Just happen to be there
      We shake hands he's happy that I'm a fan

      We are in a food garden
      Outdoor pavilion, many vines, and varieties
      I eat part of a huge avocado
      The seed is soft and makes me sick and woosy

      A cult wears blue and white
      They are super defensive
      I am wearing all blue and questioning them
      I see my old guitar teacher in the leader's inner circle
      I try to introduce myself but they scoff in metaphor and riddles
      I don't understand a word they are saying to me
      The leader looks like Kenneth Copeland
      We have a 1 on 1 exchange
      He has glowy red night time eyes
      He talks for a few minutes and everything segues to much later, we have all been put in a trance
      The leader is deposed somehow
      We party at his end playing musical instruments like a bluegrass jam band
      I play a stand-up bass on its side
      We are in a theatre

      We witness a boat coming down the snowy icy street very quickly and doesn't see the water's edge
      As he approaches the intersection his boat plunges under the water by the angle he was turning and he goes under the ice
      I gather this is a problem and he might need help
      I see his boat barely surface and his body is limp
      I jump in the fridged icy water and swim towards him
      He's in bad shape, I pick him up and get him to the shore, he's not just knocked out, his body is pretty messed up
      His eye is all red
      His limbs are eviscerated and barely holding together
      I pull out my phone and begin to dial 911
      I gather he's not going to make it
      He starts to come to
      I tell him he's going to be ok
      Just relax, just relax, you're ok man, don't worry you're going to be alright
      I am deeply worried he will realize how bad it is and freak out in his final moments
      The more I look at him the worse it is
      In the final second, he realizes how messed up he is, his eyes go wide, and then still
      It is over

      Meditating at the bottom of a pool
      Slow-motion choreography fight
      Android woman all metal
      Dad's backseat with spiders
      Victor's party house, escape from police
      The horn says $500!
      Ben wears cyber goth BDSM wear to impress a young blonde
      There are different tribes of post-apocalyptic gear wearing folk

      In theatre to watch show laying on the floor in front of seats, I have a ticket
      Argue with people in front who are mad I'm not in the right place
      Use light to read the ticket and find the right seat
      I sit in the very back
      There is a massive explosion elsewhere while I'm in the theatre
      I feel shockwave

      On phone with a Russian girl, I am undercover
      Sitting on a pergola next to the house smoking a cig, it is disgusting
      Rick rolls up in a wrecked green car held together by duct tape
      The car rolls over when parked wrong on a wooden grass divider I help him escape

      Stalked by an ancient mummy
      In a hospital, I press the "feeling down" button in the elevator
      Makes an appointment with someone
      I have a badge
      They don't let me in the employee's area
      Another nurse talks to me
      I vent some and describe being stalked
      They don't believe me
      Christopher Eccleston is with me

      I am in Jamaica
      With a disabled family
      Most of them are in wheelchairs/hick like
      They tell me it costs 4k a month to live there
      It is a large family celebration
      They eat chicken tenders, sliders, and cheap pan pizzas
      One of the siblings is a sentient hand in a jar
      I want to find Mokko
      I have no money or supplies, just my clothes
      They point me down the road

      I walk by myself for a while
      There is a large music festival going on by the path
      Some white girls notice me but I keep walking
      I see Matthew walking by in a crowd, I call to him
      He is somewhat annoyed for me to meet him
      He tells me he is doing a collab with ML7
      His hair is a large purple fro
      I ask if he can show me the way to Mokko
      He agrees and we walk down the path
      Many run-down communities and farm places
      It starts to rain hard and it is night
      There are 4-5 feet of water we are traveling through
      They are walking on bundles of straw that are standing up in a field
      We are all soaked
      Matthew goes ahead and I lose him
      The friend is not ML7 but we walk together
      He is short white and wearing black-rimmed glasses
      He tells me ML7 is overrated and only good at Anna, we laugh together

      We walk into a large tree community
      Carved pathways and many rooms people/families are living in
      I lose the friend
      I am by myself for a while
      I befriend a jamaica guy
      We talk about Jamaica
      I am passionate and he can see
      I have no money so the panhandlers leave me alone
      We see a couple of girls dressed as fairies
      One tries to do magic and makes a small boy levitate
      My guide climbs behind him to the second floor and reveals the kid was on a string
      It was a sham to get money out of tourists
      I have no money or possessions
      The Jamaican guy tells me he can see a part of jamaica inside of me
      Something is here for me to find
