While awake...

Last night at the Roxy

Poor you if you missed it...

While awake...

And it rained.
What did you read ?

While awake...

Please rain!

The Diary of Pope Sleipnir should wake you up.

It is night. I am inside a house. I have never seen this house before but I live here now. The windows let in some light from the street through the blinds. I am standing in complete darkness. I watch a car speed past on the empty street. It is going to collide. I see it take a right turn and then drive straight toward a building.

Now I see the same car parked underneath the window where I stand. I look through the blinds to see who, if any, is sitting inside the car. I cannot see. Now a skeletal ghost appears from within the car. It swoops up through the roof of the car and towards the window. I see it so clearly. It is very three-dimensional and I can see each vertebrae as it passes me on its way up and further away into the air. I realize it must be the soul of a dead person. I am filled with fear and instantly wonder if I will now begin to see other dead souls and ghosts. I don't want to.

I am trying to fall asleep but the fear of seeing these ghosts is keeping me awake. A is with me. He is asleep. I am in a city I have not been in before. I walk over to the window again. The ghost of a dog is there.

While awake...

Write!

An absolute Antarctic Dream

While awake...

Brain Fart dreams...

I am looking at myself in the mirror - and for once, my hair looks great!

While awake...

There is a chance to speak.

I am walking along a street. Students exit a zoo and carry live reptiles in their hands. One of them shows me a large snake and puts it on top of my head. I am scared but decide to not reveal any fear. The student tells me he is allowed to borrow the snake from the zoo as long as he returns it. The zoo had him take an oath on his life and heart that he'd return it. I ask him if he plans to return the snake. He nods, and tells me that the snake can give you a bite as poisonous as a bee's sting. He walks up some steps and disappears in the huge crowd. I see a little girl carry a large bowl filled with dark water. In the water I see the smallest snake ever. It is a water snake. It is amazingly tiny. The girl tells me the name of the snake.

Now I am on my way back home. I am walking along a coarse dirtroad. The sand and gravel makes it difficult to walk. I am wearing shorts and a hooded sweater. The landscape is dry and barren.

I am climbing up a green hill. It is beautiful and somewhat fairytale like. I can see someone having a picknick on a great lookout spot. I walk back down and enter a luxurious hotel foyer. It feels great.

The Backbone Trail

It is dark on the forestroad and I am walking to grandma's house alone. Well there I see grandma and hug her. I tell her how glad I am to see her, and we hold each other for a long time. I tell her how good it is to know that she has someone who cares for her and that she mustn't hesitate to ask for assistance when she needs it. The presence of care and connectedness is strong. It is warm and safe here, outside it is dark and the unknown lurks. I have to get going - back outside...

Now I am talking to two men. One is MB and the other one is someone I am with. They are discussing cars or computers. MB is obviously more advanced in the area and speaks of it in a more knowledgeable way. The other man points out what a good deal he got on a round disklike item, it looks like a large battery for a small watch. MB quickly points out that it isn't the most effective variation of the type. The other man nods in a thoughtful way.

I look elsewhere and see a peculiar caravan of vehicles arrive. Bikes, with my family members, arrive. Even the dog is riding a small bicycle! Look, I exclaim, look at F! She is riding a bike! The little dog is pedaling and balancing quite nicely as if she's done it all her life...
