The Main Event

August 8th 2011

Cora, Keely and I are working behind the scenes at a University of some sort. In the main area I see Tom Waitts. I joke around with him and he leaves. I think I made him uncomfortable. The girls and I ride a strange elevator up to a hay colored loft area. We talk. I tell them that my Uncle Rocky invited me to this event and I haven't even been inside yet. We go back down and I get a bit of vertigo sit on my butt for the decent. The university area is really big and confusing. Cora and I leave and go around a corner. There is a very steep hill. I go for it at a run. I make it almost all of the way up when I see car lights and turn a quick right into some major astral wind. The people I pass don’t seem to be affected by it and I worry that they are looking at me funny. I do some swimming motions to propel myself through the wind. I can best describe this as trying to walk at a normal pace in a swimming pool if you feet were to be weighted down. I finally make it. I am in a raised, patio of some sort, that borders the main arena/university. There are many iron gates and green shrubs. I find Cora and we are in the hallway. I get the sense that this hallway is for staff only.We are sitting in a long rounded hallway. The kind that circle and arena. There is a girl next to Cora, along with various other apparent staff. The girl is dark skinned with grey, blue and black dreadlocks. She bends Cora’s head into her lap and begins to passionately kiss her. At first I am surprised but after a while I’m just bored and somewhat anxious to explore. Cora tells me something about her mystery girl, it is something along the lines of, “I don’t think I could live without her. I’m so grateful to have her in my life.” Suddenly I am worried that I have failed in keeping in touch with someone important. I reach for my cell phone and by the time I am looking at the the screen to dial/text, it is pouring down rain. I am mildly concerned for my phones well being, but it soon passes. I am wandering now but really have a goal in mind. A beautiful woman is around. She looks like Halle Berry and I know that she is kind and powerful. I find my way back to that patio/courtyard. Someone is leading me to a table surrounded by very special people.

These people are the ones whom this whole production/concert is for. I know that I am not supposed to be “worth” of their presence, but whoever is leading me insists that I belong. “How could we possibly begin without you.” one of them says (or all of them?), as I take my seat around the table.

Note: At some point I find myself in a low lit room in the University. Maroon walls. Soft. I am talking to al older professor. All of the door knobs are defective. 

August 7th 2011

Maya and I are trying to find someplace to sleep for the night. I think I may be in the dream lodge. There is a mattress but it is too narrow. We try out a few places finally get to an “L” shaped couch that I adjust. Still difficult to get situated. I am concerned for her comfort.

The Great

I am in bed with Alexander. It doesn’t seem sexual, however we slowly but surely move into a spoon position. It feels quite natural. Someone else is in the room with us and they don’t seem to mind.

False Awakening July

I look at my alarm clock. My cell phone says it is 5:56 or 5:65 or something like that. I know this cannot be. I tell myself I’m dreaming. I know that if I wait long enough the time will be right.

Question and Answer

In a book I am reading it is suggested that one should experiment with posing a question to the mind that is to be answered in dream state. Here are my results:

Question: What was the significance of the moving boxes stacked outside of my home in Dreamworld?

Dream That Followed:

“That’s my kitty.” Brian says to the young man with a grin. Blandora is lying on the floor in front of us. There is a dog with Brian. My intuition tells me it is Haley. Happiness and love surround  us.

June 14th 2011

Colin and I browse a movie selection. He brings one very colorful DVD to my attention. I look at it for a moment and realize it’s a Miazaki film. “Is this a Miazaki?” I say to him. I flip it over, the year reads 1987. I am happy and also shocked that a Miazaki film went so long unknown to me. Kendall is with us.

--------------------------

We are in a long, narrow room. Maybe a school bus. They are passing out three types of textbooks that everyone gets. I am very interested in the fist test I received. I come back to “reality” and realize that I don’t have all the materials I need.

Note: I am quite certain there is a parallel in which may aspects of our time/life at Oak Street, are very much alive and breathing. My focus this week will be to communicate said place/time.

Sometime in June

I am arguing with Uncle Rich. He is being very stubborn. We are in a very crowded house. A narrow walkway. People related to Suzette and Sharon are here.

---------------------------

I am in a store picking between two cookies. They are both thin mint style. One is $2.99 and the other is $.99. I wonder what the difference could be. The lights go down and it is understood that an older female I know will be carrying out some sort of hunting. I remind her that I have done nothing to her. She sneaks me out the back door. I am on a busy street. I am overwhelmed. I realize I got the cookies for free. At the party, Nadra says, “You don’t even  like those (cookies)!” I do not correct her, because I do like them. I reach into the bottom of a fridge for a soda can.

Aliens & Animals

We are outside. It is a beautiful day. Sun shining. I am near some sort of fenced lot when the animals begin to roam. They have escaped. They are huge and attacking what seems like everything in sight. As I escape east, an animal tracks me down so I hold very still. I breath deeply. The animal passes. I make it back to the dorms where I find myself in a room that is not mine. I am only wearing a sort dress so I peruse the closet. It is filled with retro clothing maybe from eh seventies. I try on a mauve, long-sleeved button up shirt. I know I’ll need some sort of cold protection. I take the shirt and see that there is a dog in the room. I fear it is one of the wild alien animals and continue to treat it as such, however it doesn’t seem to pose any threat. I take a shower, hoping the dog will leave me alone. It just jumps in. Brian joins me (I am in room 19). We start to make love but hear a jeep

pull up outside of our window. The jeep crew, some of whom we may or may not know, offer to take us to a refuge. However we cannot tell the leaders “what we’ve done” or we will be negatively judged. I think we refuse. Now we are in Brian's car driving north with a few companions. On a busy street we see through a foggy sky, a fleet of quick-moving space ships do twisty, curvy maneuvers. They are blasting some announcement over their communication system. Brian and I are making fun of the address because it seems very obvious. Everything they say seems obvious. All of a sudden a blanket of snow and ice is on all you can see. We panic a bit and start looking for any extra clothing we can pile on. I still am wearing a short dress and the shirt from someone's retro closet. I spy a hat, one of those kind with fur on he inside. A girl we are with grabs it first but soon I spy another similar to it. After driving for a bit we realize that there is no more snow. We reach a mountain. The road to it, you can spot all sorts of perversely large animals. A result of the “Recent Panic”. We traverse a rocky path alongside the mountain. Inlaid eye level in the mountain side are short, wide windows. I look inside and see a classroom laboratory. The people inside don’t seem to be concerned about the “Recent Panic”.

 

I am at Suzette and Kenny’s house. I enter the basement through the sliding glass doors. Kenny is sleeping on the couch. As I go upstairs I am thinking about the safety of Maya and Mom. Suzette assures me they are safe. There is a black man smiling at me sitting on the couch. Sharon appears to be very frail. I tell Suzette i plan on walking back, but she insists on giving me a ride.

Sidewalk Ninja

 

We attempt to attend this public filming of a certain famous Asian news woman. We are all very excited. We must traverse a very steep hill to get to our destination. I decide to leave my bike halfway up the hill. We make it to the top and from there we can see the back side of the filming set. It now becomes increasingly difficult. There are a number of wide stairwells just before a series of moving sidewalks like you would expect in an airport. These sidewalks move fast and once once begins you cannot hesitate to jump on for they all move at different rhythms. There were three others with me trying to get to the same place. I ninja style make my way across.

 

Fragments

There is a new place for us to live.

A stadium.

Bunk beds. Sheets. Water.

We are all gathered in theater style seating.

Nadra.

A younger man.

River Retreat

I am at some sort of lodge. I am working. Nadra and maybe Renee are here. They are staying and I am working. Suzette and Kenny are here as well. At some point we are in the river. The river or ocean we are swimming in is accessed by a tall wall/barrier. There is a ladder, wooden, you can climb to get in and out. It is dark, maybe dusk. We realize that the ladder is gone. The two people who swim with me are very worried, I dont' seem to share their panic. I use a little logic and we are safely up the ladder. "I can't believe we didn't realize the ladder was gone!"

In the lodge I go around doing various tasks. I have a sense that I'm half-assing my work. With all the distractions of everyone I know around. I pop in on Kenny for a bit and he is only interested in drinking his huge bottle of whiskey.

I am in some one's room that I should not be. There are many entrance in and out of the rooms in the lodge. In the end I am on a porch speaking with John Schleining.

What I Learned in the Village

We were on a camping expedition. Following different indigenous peoples around and learning from them. The last village we stopped at was dark when we arrived. The moon was full and the main area was quiet and deserted. We walked to the edge of the village just before a great field of brown grass. A tall fence surrounds the village comprised of tall sharpened sticks mostly. Atop two or four of the posts, sits some mammaloid creature. It's a golden color and has two short ears with a drooping head. A little boy walks up behind us before we have time to inspect the creature fully.

"What is this?" I ask the little boy.
"This is what keeps the lions away." says boy "It is their only son."
I look again to the lifeless mass in horror. A terrifying sense of corruption and disgust washes over me.
"You did this?" I ask the small boy with an amused look on his face.
"Yes, I did this." he offers gladly.

Fragments

I'm working at a department store. An Asian couple comes to my till. I comment on their choices of clothing, noting that each piece is either blue or yellow if not both. I inquire as to wether they are from Knappa. They say know and laugh. We carry on a whimsical conversation. They are very nice.

A strange man sits beside me on the bench. I am very uncomfortable being so close to him. He's very large, towering over me. I regret being nice to him earlier in the day. I walk off down the street and notice a very handsom man driving in a truck near me. I check to see if I look decent.

Field Trip

I'm on a trip with them. We're in an empty building. It's almost like an art gallery. There are two rooms as the whole building seems to be divided in half. The west side of the second room is covered in ceiling to floor glass windows. We're outside and we hear sirens. Men in uniform usher us inside of the building. I look ou the window and see a bus flying toward us. It has lost control and doesn't seem to be able to stop. It crashes into the glass as I roll, barely missing it's impact. I see it slide over many students and know they are dead. I get up to see the damage. The bus is gone. I look for any of my friends and when I see non are injured I to go to the next room. I find him. His back turned, unaware of the accident. I grab his shirt, look into his eyes and lead him to the glass room. When there I see her. We embrace and he joins in on the group hug.

Now we're on the concrete floor of the first room in sleeping bags. The room is filled with the surviving students. Our trip has been postponed. I can't sleep. My hair is long and in my face. I look to him and realize he is looking at me too. I act as if though he's startled me. Everyone is awake now and they decide to go outside. I begin to cry and act traumatized but I'm putting on a front. After they have gone, I decide I want to go. I leave through the door that has been covered in a plastic sheet. I don't think I was supposed to leave. I turn left on the sidewalk, realizing my purse is in her car. On my way to her car, a boy comes skateboarding by. I keep walking and he asks me if I brought my board. I tell him with a smile, "I don't even know how to skateboard!" He laughs and says he was talking to his friend. I change direction, realizing that I have taken the wrong path. I see them sitting on various platforms on the side of the building. They are watching the sky. I realize that it seems almost impossible to reach them. I move items on the platforms around, to make room for myself. I've lost hope.

Up

I'm preparing to board a plane. I'm waiting and there are many people around me. Where I wait, a large outdoor market is commencing. I spot a particular vendor that is selling fruits from Africa. They are the oddest delicasies I've seen. I taste one fruit that resembles a gourd shaped kiwi. The fruit is a vibrant yellow. It tastes like a banana.

We board the plane, which is the size of a small mansion. There are recliners and beds. I'm happy to see that someone has bought a large quantity of the African fruit for the journey. A woman asks me to hold her baby. The baby is very quiet and content. Smiling and laughing as I throw her into the air and catch her.

I'm in a shop that sells various foods and whatnots. I'm still on the plane. I talk with the boy at the check out stand and he asks me for my number. I head over to the steps and I see a display of hot dogs and buns. The buns are $0.40 and the hot dogs are $.0.80. I figure I have just enough to buy one of each. I decide to split it with him. I go upstairs to get my money and she informs me that all havoc has been unleashed. The current scenario is playing out like a twisted horror movie. People on the plane are becoming possessed by some demon-like spirit. Everyone is very afraid. Suddenly it seems the only answer is to leave. I notice and open door and run to it. When I'm outside I begin to walk. I see a gate. I think to myself, "If I make it past that gate, everything will be okay." I am successful.

Strange Trip II

We are in a large group. We are going on a camping trip of sorts, however we have rented a room to store all of our belongings. I am upset I didn't bring my Vibrams. We have to walk up a very steep hill plagued with fat, long snakes on the path. I take my time at the room. Contemplate sleeping here. When I arrive at dinner there is a pretty girl sitting next to Brian. Fireworks are going off. (Am I dreaming of our upcoming 4^th of July party?). I am unhappy with how Brian and this girl are acting. My cats are here. As I walk up the trail, I see what I believe to be two-two coming across a bridge. Just when I realize it isn't him, the dog falls far off the edge, but appears to be okay. I gather up all of my cats for safety.

Fragments

• I look to my necklace and there is no pendant.
• I am on the toilet, I wipe and there is blood.
• I am hosting a party in dreamworld at my (new) house.

Sidewalk Ninja

We get up to our destination. From where we stand we can see the back side of the filming. Now it becomes increasingly difficult. There are a number of wide stairwells just before a series of moving sidewalks like in the airport. These sidewalks move fast and one one begins you cannot hesitate to jump on. There were three other people with me trying to get to the same place. I ninja-style my way across quite easily.

Hold Steady

We were in a town. A tsunami was headed our way. I reached the top of a house not knowing if it would hold. It did. The second wave came. I climb up a ladder, that to my surprise holds as well.

Twin Sisters

One:

I was stuck in the stream. I know a waterfall is near. We are in the river. Near shore we find an escape. We find it difficult to get onto the ledge. My accomplice grabs onto the edge and uses me as leverage.

Two:

Entering my apartment in Twisted City. I am walking down the back alley entrance. As I approach I see a brunette woman at the steps of my back door. She is in her forties or fifties, curly hair and olive skin. She is sorting and stacking a tray of something. Whatever they are, they are smaller than her palm and sparkly. A flower shape comes to mind. She turns to me bent over and says, “Obviously I'm breaking into your house.” I smile at her and pass the whole thing off as if she were telling a funny joke. I edge past her and see the silver tray of colorful items. In my small apartment I make my way to the front door. I exit and find myself in another alley. It is a dead end. Two girls and their mother reside here. They want to play with me. Their mother tells me they are the most powerful psychics in the world.
