    1. 18-09-27 Real Body & Dream Body in Synch

      by , 09-29-2018 at 12:56 AM
      I was at work, taking a nap during my break. I consciously started hallucinating (sitting in a chair). I saw my arm and hands and moved them around. It was my dream body, but I think it looked 'glowy' and ghostly. Then I think I somehow managed to move my real body (no sleep paralysis) and my dream body at the same time, and step 'into my real body' (real hard to explain). It's like in the dream I was a ghost and I 'synched' my ghost form with my body. When this 'merge' happened, I felt a surge of power go through me. Like I was a god or something. Bizarre.
    2. Log 1248 - School, Lost Soul Sea, and Urban Area Scraps

      Created Friday 28 September 2018

      Haven't posted here in a while. Not that I hadn't much to note, just mostly short and unexciting of things (and perhaps, at times, too much of the opposite).

      Scrap Group 1
      In a school?

      Floating in a stormy ocean. Apparently, me and various other people were knocked overboard. Besides the obvious peril of drowning, an additional threat took form as a mysterious energy, one which sapped the willpower of the survivors at random. In all, at least six of the others were driven to despondence, compelled to slowly perish at the sea's uncaring grasp. Some of us eventually made it near civilization.

      Wandering in an urban area?

    4. Acknowledging Julia

      by , 09-28-2018 at 09:17 AM (The Lab Notebook)
      Awake, Non-lucid dream, Lucid dream, [Commentary made while awake]

      I see a beautiful, blue sky with lots of puffy, white clouds in it. I realize that this is a dream [I'm not quite certain, but I believe I became lucid by first realizing that I didn't recall how I had gotten outdoors where I could look up at the sky], and ground my awareness in the dream by focusing on the clouds in the sky. The sky expands to fill my field of vision, covering up and washing out the gray nothing behind it.

      I realize I'm in the backyard of the house I lived in as a child, and I'm with two girls I knew in elementary school. I walk around the neighborhood with them for a bit, exploring the yards of the houses. They are fenced in, and many of them are on very steep hills
      [which was not the case in real life]. At one point, a man who lives in one of the houses sees us. Eventually, I stop following them and start following two DCs who are young women closer to my own age now, a blonde one and an Asian one. [I typically prefer to spend my lucid-dreaming time exploring my dream world on my own, but this time, I thought I could maintain a longer, more stable lucid dream if I focused my attention on following two dream characters around, instead. It seems to have worked.]

      We end up wandering from the suburban neighborhood we're in to a well-lit, wood-paneled mall. We end up in front of a hair salon, where the salon owner stops us and presents the Asian DC with an award for her hairdressing skills. I notice that she is suddenly wearing a pretty, fancy dress appropriate for accepting an award at an awards ceremony. After she accepts it, we continue wandering around and exploring. The next time I notice the Asian DC, I see that she's wearing casual, comfortable clothes again. I exclaim in disappointment, "Aw, man! I wanted to do the finger-snap thing!" [Meaning, I wanted to consciously and actively change her from one outfit to another by snapping my fingers, Q-style. I was disappointed that she had performed the transformation on her own. ]

      Our wanderings continue to take us through indoor environments, and we eventually end up in a spacious church where the service is just about to start. A greeter hands me a service bulletin, which is a single large sheet of paper that you have to fold up yourself. I wander through the sanctuary, from front to back, just as the procession is starting.

      As I wander outside again, I remember that the next time I found myself lucid dreaming, I had wanted to do the 'pinch your nose shut and try to breathe through it' reality check, so I do so. It still works the same as ever - I can still feel myself breathing even while pinching my nose, which I still think is the coolest sensation. However, this time, my dream-sense of touch tells me that I'm missing part of the tip of my nose.
      [I thought, "Maybe I've been reading too many A Song of Ice and Fire books?"]

      I see the aforementioned blonde dream character again, and for the first time, we actually stop to talk. When I ask, she tells me that her name is Julia, and it turns out that she knows that I'm the dreamer. She refers to me as the "universe goddess." [There's a gap in my memory here; I don't recall how we got from just talking to this next part, but:]

      Julia is now mostly submerged in a tank of water, and I lay one hand on the crown of her head, which is sticking up above the water, and say: "I, [my full, legal IRL name], do hereby name you Julia." As she climbs out of the tank, I add, " [Nickname] is short for [my full first name]." [I often explain that to people when meeting them for the first time IRL.] After Julia is out of the tank, I ask her if I can do that again, because I didn't use both hands. I ask her what her middle and last names are, and she says "Tilly El-Haz[something, I don't remember exactly]." We stand facing each other, and I lay both hands on the top of her head and name her with her full name. [She looked like she could have been Supergirl, or otherwise related to those Els.]

      [Hmm. Fascinating. I've only met one or two other dream characters who exhibited any awareness that we were in a dream, and this is the first time one has referred to me in terms like "the universe goddess." This dream put me in a great mood, as my lucid dreams always do.]
    5. The Wilderness Game

      by , 09-27-2018 at 08:08 PM (Bridger's Oneironautic Expeditions)
      I'm in the wilderness going to some vacation place for a month or so. Some of my friends are coming as well, but they won't be here for another few days. I end up at a house that we are sharing with another group of 3. I introduce myself to them and go out to explore the area. The wilderness is mainly alpine with some mountains in the distance and rolling hills and forests making up the surroundings. I know this place is meant to feel like a game where you achieve progression and unlock skills. I start walking towards the forest to chop some trees for crafting or something. The forest nearby is quite thin and I don't want to chop every tree down, so I move farther away, and find a much larger, thicker forest. I start to chop some big trees, but a tree guardian pops out and starts attacking me. It's a much higher level than I am but I try to fight it anyway. It ends up hitting me hard and permanently knocking down one of my stats. I decide to run back to the house and regroup. This is really when some emotion starts to kick in. I'm running freely, back through the fields, jumping off or over any obstacles that are in my way. All of the textures around me are very detailed and the roofs on some small buildings I'm passing look fairy tale-like. Right before arriving back at the house, I come across a bridge, but I jump right over it and land easily on the balcony of the house. I'm excited about all the other things I get to do and sit down on the balcony to gather my thoughts. The guys from the other group say hi and ask how it went for me. I reply by saying, "this feels like it's out of a dream." I look around a little longer before going inside. It appears that the owner we're renting from has stocked the kitchen full of food. I see breads, rolls, and boxes of other things.

    8. Dream - You Watch Him, I'll Watch Her

      by , 09-27-2018 at 09:50 AM
      Date of Dream: SAT 22 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 430 - You Watch Him, I'll Watch Her


      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was at home, sitting in my study room, when my mum came in to tell me something. She said that she and my dad had broken up and so now I would still be at home, but only my mum would be living in the house. She then grew a mean look on her face and said to me that before, she would listen to me yelling at her but now that we were living with each other alone, she was going to start yelling herself. In other words, she would rather let our relationship get dysfunctional rather than trying to keep harmony.

      There was then a special scene projection in this dream. My mum was standing in front of the entrance to the kitchen and Dreamy WB was floating beside and slightly behind her in her Oktoberfest outfit as a hologram. Then it was now my dad that was standing in front of the entrance to the kitchen and 18-Volt was the hologram hovering beside and slightly behind him. In this dream, 18-Volt’s appearance was from his real-life portrayal on “Game & Wario – Gamer” as on the cover screen… His features looked amazingly real, and yes, the green jacket and pants included (not just him in his singlet and shorts like on the cover)… Even the jacket and pants looked so real that you could see the fine threads of cotton woven into each other!

      While that scene was playing, my subconscious mind seemed to be reciting the following lines. “While at home with mum, Dreamy WB will look after you. While you’re staying with your dad, 18-Volt will be looking after you”. I can’t remember anything else that happened in this dream.



      Dream Tasks
      - Have Logan receive harsh penalties from Dreamy WB due to reckless social behaviours (Achieved? Partially)
      - Have all members on the dream guide team obtain and apply knowledge on how to provide in-dream discipline to unruly parents (Achieved? No)

      Challenges
      - Start the dream off with a dream guide already present (Achieved? No)

    9. Dream - Teacher Or Prime Minister & I'm Almost Ready

      by , 09-27-2018 at 07:14 AM
      Date of Dream: FRI 21 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 429 - Separated Sections

      Dream 429 A - Teacher Or Prime Minister

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was with my dad in this building that was supposed to be a shop but then it didn’t really look like a shop. I was looking for a wooden picture frame that I could paint and decorate for my parents’ anniversary gift. I was having a hard time finding one but then the dream mentioned something about taking me back to the time period of 2006 – 2009 where shops were selling a much better and larger range of stock. I was now overwhelmed with options but I eventually found a picture frame I liked and told my dad how I was going to decorate it.

      In the next scene, I was heading towards the exit at the back of the building which then entered into an actual shopping centre; I was on my own for this part of the dream. I eventually came to the other end of the shopping centre, heading for the exit on the other side. There was a room that linked the shopping centre and the car park doorways. I was entering into that room, I was speaking to someone who claims they’re currently studying at Chisholm TAFE. She told me that the she could possibly have two teachers for one subject.

      The first teacher she mentioned was Guy and then the second person she mentioned as the teacher was Scott Morrison. The guy who looked like Scott Morrison was standing in the room and I ended up going over and talking to him; though I couldn’t understand anything he was saying, it sounded like absolute garble to me. As the guy was talking, I noticed two lift doors in the room and so looked past the guy and up at the lift doors nervously instead. After the guy babbled for a while, the dream ended.

      Dream 429 B - I'm Almost Ready

      This dream was extremely short and felt like it lasted no longer than 5 seconds. The scene was the exact same room from the end of 429 A but the dream made it really white, so I almost couldn’t see the picture at all, just enough so I could recognise the sight of the lift doors. In the foreground though was 18-Volt in full, vivid colour, in his WarioWare Gold appearance. He smiled at me, having his arms empty but in a cradling position and rocking them from side to side a couple of times. The dream then ended.

    10. Dream - A Troubled Mind & Searching For Anita & She Saves The Day & I Own This Shopping Centre

      by , 09-27-2018 at 07:07 AM
      Date of Dream: THU 20 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 428 - Separated Sections

      Dream 428 A - A Troubled Mind
      The dream started with all the WarioWare characters in this one room that I had never been into in real life. At first, they were all just casually conversing in there. I clearly remembered seeing Wario, Mona, Dribble and Spitz, Kat and Ana, Dr. Crygor, 9-Volt and 18-Volt and many others. There was then this teenage girl that came up me to me, looking really upset. She was a distorted version of LA, having the exact same facial features as her but looking rather totally Gothic and severely depressed.

      I asked her what was wrong but I forgot what she told me. I said that I would her to go and talk to 18-Volt as he’s been treated in a similar fashion for not fitting as a kid, “the other room are all a bunch of bullies”… I was referring to the rest of the WarioWare characters. The girl then followed me as I walked around and started calling for 18-Volt.

      Dream 428 B - Searching For Anita
      I entered back into what seemed to be the same dream. I was walking around in my house and wandering into the front room when I thought to myself, “What should I name this girl?”. I thought about naming her Jessica but then realised that one of my friends already had the name. I finally decided that I would call her Anita. So now, I was walking around the house, trying to find Anita.

      I ended up walking towards the bedrooms and when I went into my bedroom, I saw a rather scary sight. I saw a version of myself lying in my own bed! She looked exactly as I would at night time, she was wearing the same nightie that was on me in waking life and her hair was in the exact same mess. I forgot what she said at the start but she was nasty and I was feeling rather creeped out by my own clone. I thought it wasn’t going to end well but after talking some more, my clone and I actually got along really well!

      Once I had finished talking to my clone, I continued to look for Anita. When I found her, she had exactly the same appearance and behaviour as she did in 428 A. We eventually got to 18-Volt but before I could even get a word in, in-fact, at the first glimpse of him, the dream faded out on me.

      Dream 428 C - She Saves The Day
      The dream started again I was looking for 18-Volt with Anita, she had exactly the same appearance and behaviour as in 428 A and 428 B. The dream thought suddenly changed the location to be at the grounds of Killester College. I walked in, with Anita following me, and when I look up the driveway, there is Dreamy WB as a hologram, hovering and prompting for us to come over to her. She wasn’t human sized but she wasn’t massive either. She looked really beautiful and glamorous as she sported her school summer uniform.

      I thought she was just going to comfort Anita but then she also signalled that she wanted me up on her lap as well. Both Anita and I got up and occupied one of Dreamy WB’s legs, then receiving a long, hard hug from her. Apparently she hugged Anita due to her initial stress but Dreamy WB could also tell I was upset from failing to reach 18-Volt, me thinking that he didn’t want to see us. I thought Dreamy WB was going to take us somewhere but after a few seconds, Anita and I actually hopped off her.

      Anita then thanks me and walks out of the gates of the college, ultimately leaving the dream. I then decide what I want to do with myself and I end up heading out as well. When I am out of the school grounds, I am at the bus area and my parents are also there. There are four teachers that I end up talking to; they were Ms M, Mr Gr, Mr K and Mr M. I can’t remember what else happened in this dream.

      Dream 428 D - I Own This Shopping Centre
      I can’t remember how the dream started. From where I can remember, I was walking along the bottom floor of this shopping centre that I was apparently the owner of. The shops though didn’t look like any shops that exist in real life and rather, it all felt like a cheap and junkie international food section. Though later in the dream, I was taking my brother through the same area and there was one place that I thought he’d like; apparently a Scnitz existed.

      I was then back at the level 2 car park in which I called that car park H2, so the car park below me would be H1 and the one above would be H3. I went up the travelator to this time enter level 2 of the shopping centre. At first, the shops didn’t look to impressive but eventually, I came across a “Budget David Jones”. I then continued to explore the shopping centre and there were some good shops around. Eventually, I went into the food court and noticed that UD ---> UU (she's married now) was working in one of the places; she was wearing a navy chefs uniform with red piping.

      The message then came into my head that there was now a restaurant complex on level 1, including a Grill’d and a Schnitz. I looked over the rails to see many neon lights but didn’t end up going down there. I continued through level 2 and eventually came to this outdoor area that connected from either level 2 or level 3. Then after that, I was back at the travelators where I had started. There were some traffic lights that were going green, amber and then red. I knew that when the traffic lights went red, the lifts were going to open, of the doors saying H2 and the other one saying L2. So I ran onto the travelator as fast I could. The dream ended there.

    11. Weird Emotional NL - September 2018

      Sep 26 2018

      [D] I'm on a bed in early morning daylight. F is there and urges me to leave the bed and go to a courtyard/street. It reminds me of 6 courtyard mixed with the street I drive to work everyday. The dream transitions and I'm in 9 on the couch. To the left on the treadmill is one of my cousins. He's laughing. Suddenly he's in the hallway and has a large twisted plastic lattice tucked somehow into his briefs (he's also wearing a t-shirt and socks).

      Later I'm in a bathroom with F who's trying to get something from the medicine cabinet. We're switching apartments or houses this day. The hair on my legs is 20 times longer and hangs off at the sides like a wavy beard. My dream self thinks/makes a comment about being like a Yak but F is busy and doesn't respond. In retrospect I looked like a satyr. I'm worrying about work, something related to me being adopted and I say the wrong thing.

      I'm in a sundown-lit street with F, F is mad at me for something.

      I'm drunk, running down a street along the sidewalk on the left side. I almost run into several poles and fences. There are people at several houses/front lawns which are restaurants, some people are leaning back in their chairs and heads are over the fence. I arrive at F's grandma's house. She and a lot of people my age and younger are sitting around tables under a pop up tent in her driveway. I see her and she looks mad at me, I try to appease her by offering to make some pink lemonade (there's a huge pink lemonade canister, probably a foot and a half in diameter and a foot tall, which is mostly empty and somewhat crusty [like how it gets when the powder has been opened and closed so many times and exposed to moisture for too long]). She refuses my offer and refuses to speak to me. Eventually I sit down and notice the cousin from before is on the other side of the table. Finally F's grandma confronts me about the work/adoption issue from before, and says "I thought you were moving in". I try to explain but it all comes out wrong. I understand that my cousin is jealous of my living situation/work because he lives here with F's grandma.



      This was all one long dream btw, very vivid. The running dream was interesting -- in these dreams my awareness is usually activated.
    12. At the Airport

      by , 09-26-2018 at 08:41 PM (Bridger's Oneironautic Expeditions)
      I'm at an airport watching airplanes take off. So far, there have been smaller planes with strange wings, but now I overhear the pilot radio requesting takeoff for a Boeing 747. I head out to the balcony which is open to the outside to watch it take off. The airport itself seems relatively small with only a few runways with some trees surrounding it. I see the big plane at the end of the runway. It rolls out onto the takeoff stretch and begins to accelerate. I can hear the 4 engines from where I'm standing. It accelerates quite fast, and as it reaches the closest point to me, the sound is so deafening that I have to turn around and go back inside.

    13. Incredibly Strange DC's - Mad Max Stuff?

      by , 09-26-2018 at 06:13 PM (Dimension X)
      I was in some house with a bunch of DC's I've never seen before. A few of them looked like old friends from school, but I was unfamiliar with most of them. A different one was asking us random questions, and we were supposed to put our hands up to answer, like in school. The entire place was decorated in a hardwood style. It had a very homely vibe. It took place in a weird, circular kitchen. It's like there was a big pillar in the middle that had all the things a kitchen should have. Counter tops, a stove, and a refrigerator. We were all sitting around it.

      I was in front of the fridge, and there were a few people off to my left. The fridge door was open though, and for some reason, it was GIANT. It stretched all the way over to me, and it kept swaying back and forth. We couldn't close it for some reason. I pushed it away, and it swayed a bit too far to the right, hit someone, and they shoved it back, yelling at someone next to me, because they couldn't see it was me that pushed it.

      I circled around the pillar eventually, saw a few people and went outside. It looked like my old elementary school's yard. A ton of DC's were here. The one that was inside asking all the questions was out here now, sitting in a big chair.

      Next, I was put aside, and started basically watching some kind of mad max style movie. It was almost a desert. A man was having a hard time climbing up a rubble filled highway hill. There was a husk of a car nearby, with a stash of something valuable. He climbed onto it and took a box of something. Eventually the person who owned the car's stash came by, and was about to get angry, but then the man offered to buy the valuables for 49 currency. I don't remember what he said they were, but they certainly weren't dollars.

      Yet another apocalyptic style dream... I've been having a lot of these lately.

      First the dream about the airships lighting the sky on fire, New York becoming a charred, jagged ocean of black rock, then the dream about the meteor strike... And those are just the big ones.

      Not gonna be surprised if something cataclysmic happens in real life soon.

      Non-dream stuff - had a couple of non-lucid dreams I remember in some detail. Chronological order slightly forgotten.



      Dream fragment:
      I was playing some sort of space game, I could see in third-person view the ship I was controlling. Though I distinctly remember being "in" the game, I know my partner was watching me play, and I was in a system that had 3 jump gates to other stars; the jumpgates looked a bit Stargate-like, but two were coloured red and one was green. I wanted to go in one of the red ones. The system was very dark, there was a red giant star at its centre and when I arrived at the gates (that for some reason were clustered together) there were 2 ships, which were part of local military.

      I remember using the jumpgate, though I don't remember the transition special effects, and when I got to the next system, it felt like it was a bit more dangerous. Visually it was confusing, I was struggling with the controls all of a sudden and the field of view adjustment kept changing for no reason. There was a blue giant star, and a regular yellow star; I remember some nebulae, blue, too, but there was something odd about the "skybox"* for the system.

      In my controls struggle I accidentally started warping, backwards, somehow. The warp got faster and faster and I could see a "ul" units measurement at the bottom of the interface, going up quickly from 0.x to ~700. I managed to stop it and was now in a different system. I remember commenting to myself "oh, I forgot that worked that way", regarding the system travelling feature of the warp. It reminds me now of the warp mechanic in Eliteangerous.

      Then I used it again and went forwards this time but steering at the same time, but when I warped out, I was in a planet with my ship, in the middle of a mega city, so I had to quickly try and maneuver up through openings I could see.

      I remember getting past the atmosphere though I don't remember what happened next.

      Dream sequence:
      On a plane, with my partner. I don't think I was too happy about it; but we were landing, and we were landing in a street somewhere in France. This was the planned destination and the landing worked and stopped more than few hundred feet away from the nearest building.

      We got out and I think we went to a flat somewhere, I think it was my aunt's and I remember some sort of interaction with my aunt before the dream started. But all I remember from the flat was that it was like our real kitchen and there was a bathroom. The bathroom was filthy, there was trimmed hair everywhere; there was a slight yellow tinge on things, not from urine or anything, as far as I can gather. There were no strong smells. But it felt filthy. I was trying to clean the toilet's rim with some paper, for some reason, and it was taking very long.

      There was a transition and the next thing I remember is being at a supermarket in the same city, and I'm picking up what looks like a sweetener capsule dispenser thing, but instead, they have pictures of great monuments on them. I pick one that has a Great Pyramid, and I remember thinking or commenting to someone near me, "with this we can build our own pyramid... seems it takes about 3.8 acres of land, so we just need to get some 4 acres of land somewhere".

      I walk to one of those self-checkout things, only carrying this little thing, and I scan it but I'm a little confused as to how things work and take a little while to understand where to place it; then I do, and I'm about to pay, but this other French guy about my age or younger starts using the same machine as I'm using, and I speak to him in English saying "excuse me, could you help me pay?" and he doesn't even look at me, which I feel to be rude. In the dream I have the distinct feeling they ignored English on purpose. I somehow manage to pay with my card, which I took out of my wallet blindly, but confirmed to be the card I wanted by the 4 last numbers, which were accurate to waking life as I remember.

      I leave the shop and go down some street. Of note, I go past a man painting some sort of tall vertical canvases, in his own shop, but do not talk or engage with him. Down this street I am looking for a suitable land for this pyramid I want to build. I find some plaza and some ruins, and in the dream I think that because there are some Aztec-looking ruins I could just use them as a base for the pyramid... It's a micro steppe pyramid in its own right, this ruin, and I remember a hole that would be the stairwell. It is exceedingly dark in here, but I can see somehow. There is a different hole next to a wall, big enough for any grown man to slide in, but I do not satisfy my curiosity and walk away instead. Something felt odd but that wall opening, like it would go down forever.

      I remember going up some street and then seeing some big building with a hand-painted sign that said:
      "2 any artist;
      60(something) (something);
      214 accomplished artist"
      or something to this effect. I got annoyed reading the sign. The numbers were value/money, and I felt that it was unfair to unknown artists. I commented something out aloud and realise that I'm standing next to the shop with that man from before, with the tall cyllinders that he painted. He said to me "unfortunately that's how it works; you can see how much work I have here - because it is exotic and unusual, I am not considered to be good or accomplished" or something like this. His shop was literally cluttered with all of his artistic work, some of it looked quite nice, some of it was indeed a bit unusual.

      There was another dream after this but I've forgotten most of the details, apart from a teen boy being naked and antagonising me, who I punched in the face, though he didn't back down and just kept being annoying. There was a little girl but she seemed sad, she had a little pink dress.



      Notes:
      • *The skybox is traditionally a scaled up 3D element that keeps the exact same position as the player and makes up the far-distance objects that can be represented either with 2D sprites or low resolution 3D models.
      • The comments of the other artist reflect partly the basic feel I have about art's value in general.
      • My partner was present at some points in the second dream but I don't remember the interactions between us.
      • I have been to France only once, when I was a kid, and had the possibility of going again when I was around 16, but didn't.
      • In the dream I just couldn't understand why at the supermarket the guy was rude to me. I was being polite and asking for help to get out of his way. But it later occurred to me in the dream that if I'd used my native language instead he wouldn't have been so rude, so it felt like it was a French/English animosity thing.
      • I don't know where the 3.8 acres figure came from (it seems very specific but for no reason) in the dream for the Great Pyramid's base area; but checking quickly has revealed to me that the Pyramid's base is about 13 acres, about 3.25 times my 4 acres land estimate in the dream. I do not have any intuitive understanding of the actual area taken by an acre in waking life, so if there was any accuracy at all, it would have been a surprise.
    15. Did I sell myself?

      Did I sell myself?

      I remember a train station since I could see it so clearly and it was so detailed. The black steel beams that created a beautiful pattern decorated with pink flowers that was climbing it’s way up to the roof. Old gate lanters were everywhere to be seen and just helped the whole thing to look so old fashioned and romantic.
      But we only passed it by. With us, I meant the group of people I was hanging out with. One really tall man, easy above 2 meters. I tried to grab his arm and since I felt we had that kind of connection. I tried to look up to him. To really get a good glimpse of his face but it was definitely not a very easy task! He was busy with our mission, to look for more people to join us. We passed by a shop that selled gemstones, that I had visited in a different dream from before. She was dressed all in black, had at least three different shades of purple in her black poffy emo looking hair. She was looking so cool and not to mention her attitude. The super tall man talked to her while walking away from the train station and the little gem shop. I couldn’t help but to feel jealous and tried to get his attention but he didn’t care. He didn’t shove me off or anything just giving me the look: “Not now, K?”
      He was never looking directly at me either. More like, glancing at me or even looking down at me… since he was so freaking-ishly tall!

      I went home and straight to the bed. Sulking. There were other girls in the room, kind of half naked. I suddenly didn’t wear anything on my upper body, topless you know, and talked to the girls that seemed more or less drunk or even high. The place was really dirty. What I noticed when I tried to walked around was that every girl were in this weird kind of state. Even I had a hard time trying to stay on my feet. Music was playing on the loudest possible volume outside the room. Since there were sooo many beds in a room made me start to think of what kind of a place this was.




      Note: The man looked like an inspector.
