Xanous' Dream Journal

1:40AM

I am an astronaut. I am riding in a mine cart up to a huge shuttle nestled in a wooded mountain side with my fellow astronauts. I hear a distant crowd cheering for us and I put both hands in the air in response. I tell the person next to me that I am so excited to finally go into space. I said I would go before I die and here I am.

At the launch site we do various mundane things to prepare. I wake up before anything good happens.

WBTB missed. I wake at 5 and decide its too late for WBTB. I go for a DEILD with the Monroe tech.

#not counting - Sometime after shortly after 5AM - DILD?

The dream forms and I find my self mixing epoxy at my old job. I look down and realize its actually pancake batter. I am confused with this dream and realize that I was trying to have an OBE. I throw myself backward to force myself back in bed into a lying position. I fall fast and then in slow motion and float. I get a vertigo sensation and butterflies in my stomach.

I am now in bed and I feel that familiar feeling of the dream state. I go ahead and try to move but I feel paralyzed. I wait for the vibrations instead of trying other exit method. I think maybe I am too awake since I never felt vibrations. I have too much importance placed on it and I lie in the void until a noise wakes me up.

I go for DEILD again

A dream forms and I see a white ball partially buried in grass. I think it looks like a golf ball and when I pick it up I see that I was right. It feels solid and I note the texture of the dimples. I realize I am dreaming and become way too excited waking myself up.

Lion, Tiger, and.... dog? - Time unknown

I am at my first job at Long John Silvers. I realize I am wearing that same colorful shirt from the hospital dream last night. There is a tiger and lion in the kitchen and they keep fighting. The noise of is is awful and I cringe every time they get near me and I worry that the costumers will notice and we will all get in trouble. A pug dog that I recognize as mine runs away from under my chair in the drive thru and I hurry after it. I runs into the front lobby and I nervously try to laugh it off and makes jokes about a dog in the restaurant.

I pick the dog up and take it outside. I decide to get in my car and leave. In the parking lot we can hear the sound of the tiger and lion fighting. It sounds odd and distorted (probably my wifes snoring!) Some one hears it and says it must be someone bowling. Not wanting anyone to know about the tiger and lion and agree that bowling must be the source of the noise.

Air Raid - Time unknown

I am in some old WWII era building. I know its all fake but I think it's some type of mystery role playing game in a museum. There is some puzzle with fans and someone tells me to get a shopping cart. I look down a hallway but don't see it. Then two carts some rolling in from an adjacent hall. I take one and push it to the fans. Something about the cart being in proximity starts the fans and a phone rings. I put it to my right ear but I feel some obstruction. I hear a creepy man giving me instructions but I can't hear very well. I decide my hearing aid (What? I don't wear one IWL) is malfunctioning so I put the phone to my left ear. I am confused when I still hear the voice in my right ear. I laugh at this but instead of question if it is a dream I just think my hearing aid is really messed up. Then suddenly I hear the voice in my left. I begin to think that I'm missing something important here but before I can think an air raid siren goes off. I hear a loud boom and the building shakes.

I know that I am the star of this show and I must get in a plane and parachute out. I run off with some guy that I know as the pilot. I stop and ask him who has my son R. He says my dad does and calls him a "dipshit" I run back a ways and see my dad carrying R and my two daughters walking behind him to safety. Knowing my kids are OK, I continue with the pilot. I wake up.

Fragments

I'm smoking again. I feel the sting of the smoke in my throat. I worry that I am addicted. I need to buy a pack.

I see a dead chicken on the ground. A second live chicken walks up to me.
