November 30th, 2005: Dream #2

I turn on the television.
...My awareness enters the television show...
A woman has written a book about her twin teenage daughters. These twins are child prodigies. Hollywood approaches the mother about turning the book into a movie. She agrees. They film the movie and bring the mother to the preview. She is aghast when the title of the movie rolls across the screen. "The Spirit". A plane has crashed into the ocean and a masked man saves one of the passengers. This is merely one chapter in the book about the twins, yet it is the focus of the movie. The mother is outraged that her twins are being misrepresented. After the movie she is introduced to the actresses playing her twins. They were Norwegian. The mother falls in love with the oldest actress.

...The six are a male child, a female child, an adult man, an adult woman, an elderly male and an elderly female...
...They are following that reveals itself as they travel...
...The map has finished unfolding leading the group to the Brick Building. Inside they find the remaining cards...

November 29th, 2005

I enter the Old Red Barn discovering an ongoing story.
...The knight travels across a game board...
...He, and his opponents, summon monsters from cards. Then the monsters fight each other...
...The knight is unable to summon creatures powerfull enough to defeat his opponent's monsters. He is frustrated because he has more cards than anyone else...
...The wise man, who is also a barber, told the knight to focus not to focus on all his cards. Focus on only one card...
...The knight focuses solely on one card. The Carnivorous Plant is summoned and it is level 5...
...Level 5 monsters pour from the knight...
...The Carnivorous Plant destroys all the other monsters. It even destroys the Elemental Gods...

November 26th, 2005

I walk up to the Old Red Barn. A sign hangs by the doorway announcing there is property for sale inside. I walk through the barn hoping to see what property is for sale. I walk past many pairs of teens. Each pair consists of a teenage male and teenage female, both in letterman jackets.

November 22nd, 2005

I am waiting in the IOA gym between classes. A lady, who looks like Maggie Gyllenhall, enters the gym. She is a higher-up in the Nexus organasion. I find her very attractive. She feels the same.
...My bed was in the gym...
We lay on the bed naked and hold each other. I can feel the energy between us starting to connect. It is wonderful. My next class arrives and she leaves. The students play kickball while I work the scoreboard. Once the game is underway, she returns. She stands next to me. I can feel electricity moving between us.
"There is no way you can meet with my husband," she says, "he will know about us."

November 14th, 2005

I am walking through IOA. Everyone I encounter is surprised to see me. They are all congratulating me. I rub my head in surprise. I feel thick hair.
"What?"
I head into the bathroom and look in the mirror. My hair has grown back. I have a head of long, full, coppery hair.
"Awesome. My hair must of grown back beacause I changed my diet."

November 13th, 2005

I enter my apartment's bedroom to find my teenage son. He is tall, athletic, handsome and blonde. He is also wearing a letterman's jacket with a blue J on it. He is doing my hand exercises. I watch him then realize he has my actual hand. He is exercising my broken hand.

November 5th, 2005

I walk around my building to find four guardians. Each is a large statue placed facing one of the cardinal directions: north, south, east, and west.
..."The most powerfull gaurdians were created at the spot irrational energy flows through," says a voice...
"What is irrational energy," I wonder. "Irrational sounds dangerous and chaotic, but the way the voice spoke it sounded benevolent. Additionally if there is an irrational energy, is there a rational energy?"

November 12th, 2005

I find a comic book on a lower shelf of a bookcase in my bedroom. The cover is an image of floating eyeballs moving across rolling farm fields. The title lettering is done in silvery ink. I am surprised to find a picture of myself when I open the comic book. I am standing in a hallway looking depressed.
...Artists infuse the lines with magic, then have senior citizens model it...
...The council has placed in the comic special objects because it has become too sad...
...In a workshop, where the special objects were made, is a dragon made from bent wire clips. Each wire clip was bent into the shape of the letter L...

October 28th, 2005

I am walking down a highway in the darkness before dawn. Large green fields spread to both sides of the highway. I can see pretty far, for the highway is higher than the rest of the landscape. I come to a plaza located off the side of the road. It takes me a moment for me to make out what is in the plaza. It is far away and lower than myself. Additionally the sun has not fully dawned over there yet. On the highway dawn is well under way, but in the plaza it is merely starting. The plaza contains a Micheal's, an Ikea, then another Micheal's store. I turn and walk down the exit ramp to enter one of the Micheal's. I do not know which of the two to enter, so I enter the nearest one. The one to my left.
"I wonder where the clay is," I think.
I try to find the clay to build characters for my stop-motion comics. I can not find any. I search the entire store, but still find none.
...The Micheal's changes into large shipping warehouse combined with a grocery store...
A man drives by on a forklift. Something about him reminds me I work at this store. I do not want to work retail. I run to the auditorium to hide from my job.
...When I enter the auditorium my awareness leaves my body...
...I float up into the sky to have a bird's eye view of the plaza...
Zombies, hundreds of zombies, run across the parking lot. The zombie plague has begun. The zombies enter the store and begin to slaughter the employees and customers. They are almost to the auditorium.
..."Wait a minute. This is just like that board game," I think...
...My awareness re-enters my body...
The zombies are pouring into the auditorium. I am not scared for I know the rules to the game. The zombies can only move through the aisles. They can not climb onto the chairs or the stage. I jump onto a chair. The zombies run past me.They are frustrated and angry they can not reach me. I feel safe.
...I realize the zombies are changing...
They are growing past the rules of the game. They will eventually be able to attack me. Fear grows in my stomach. I look around and jump across chairs to make it to the stage. I pull back the red velvet curtain of the stage. The backstage looks unimpressive. The backstage workers look at me in surprise.
"What are you doping here," one asks me.
"I am escaping the zombie plague, and you better too."
I see a slide coming down from the ceiling. I do not know where it goes, but I know it is away from the zombies. The slide is encased in a frame made from wooden boards. It is dark and covered in cobwebs. I crawl up the slide as the zombies rush onstage. I hear the backstage crew scream as the zombies kill them.
...When I emerge through the roof I find myself on the gravel road running past my parent's house...
The bright sunlight warms my flesh. There is no trace of the slide or how I got here. I do not care. I am free of the zombies. I walk up the road and encounter two children. A young teen bother and sister. They are also traveling down the road.
"Are we safe," they ask me.
"Sure," I say as I look out across the corn fields.
Corn plants grow before my eyes. Odd, they are yellow like dead plants. I look to the soil and see hundreds of things crawling out. Insects, grass clippings, animal corpses, and garbage all emerging.
...The zombie plague is actually a giant cloud of particles that settles on the earth...
...The particles animate any dead material in the soil...
We are surrounded are by dead things, zombie things. The twins scream, adding to my growing fear. I quickly turn. A muscular human torso has crawled from the sand. A red iron mask covers his lower face. Eyes black with hatred look at us. With his one remaining arm he pulls himself forward. He reaches a blue fourteen inch chop-saw and wedges it onto the stump of his other arm. He then maneuvers to a horse corpse that is emerging from the soil. He chops of the horse's head and crawls on top of the fresh wound. All the different pieces, man, horse, and machine, fuse into one. Now he is a zombie centaur galloping down the road at us.

October 24th, 2005

I am sliding through the Momence Junior High School on a scooter board. I leave the scooter board in the gym. Then I leave the Junior High.
"I no longer need to fake I am taking classes."

October 22nd, 2005

Suzanne and I are in the bedroom of our apartment. She is telling me her sexual desires.
"I desire sex with you Jason, but sex open to my many desires. I want threeways."
Hearing her talk about sex has aroused me. I am instantly rigid. I am absolutely aware of my penis and can only think of sex. I pounce onto Suzanne. I growl like an animal.

October 19th, 2005

I am attending college with all my coworkers. It suddenly dawns on me everyone is wearing yellow. I find this odd considering there is no required yellow dress code at work.
"This must be a dream," I think.
"I wonder what this dream is trying to tell me. Lets see. I really dislike the color yellow. Everyone from work is wearing yellow. This dream is telling me that subconsciously I hate my job."
A blonde woman wearing all blue walks past.
...I start to wake up...
...NO! I will not wake up! I will follow this dream out past its boundaries!...
I follow the blonde through a series of dark rooms. Eventually we enter the Grand Library.
...The Grand Library is a cathedral size stone flagstone library...
The blonde quickly turns and kisses me. All tension leaves me, replaced by excitement. I am in love.

October 13th, 2005

A large crowd has gathered in the IOA gym.
"What's going on," I ask.
"Lex Luthor festival," answers someone.
The crowd begins to discuss Gene Hackman's work portraying Lex Luthor.
"There was a reason he was called LEX STINKER," I shout.
The whole crowd goes silent. Everyone turns to stare at me.
"Uh-oh," I think.
"No person of flesh and blood can adequetly portray a character made of ideas. If we take that truth into consideration, then Gene Hackman is the best portrayl of Lex Luthor."

October 9th, 2005

I am holding a cell phone. It has been combined with a calculator. The display reads "10".

October 3rd, 2005

I am walking through the Museum, now located in Chicago. I come to a banquet hall. Roger Ebert is giving a speech. The person currently at the podium is explaining he went to high school here. He has come back to offer advice to the students. I decide to sit down and listen.
"When I went to school here, all the teachers would tell me what to do. Roger study this, study that. Don't watch so many movies. And so on. I am here to tell you every teacher is an idiot. They will tell you what to do, but they don't know shit. I never once listened to a teacher and I turned out great. My advice to you is to ignore every instruction teachers give you."

October 1st, 2005

I am part of a group wandering through the Theatre. We are trying to find our movie. We end up on the second floor. There is no theatre up here, but there is a video game arcade. The Arcade is very crowded. Teens and kids every where. Only three games are open for play. I choose the third game because it reminds me of the Nintendo games from my childhood. In the game, I play a big mustached commando, in fatigues, shooting ninjas with a machinegun.
...My awareness enters the game. I become the commando...
I run around the jungle level shooting Ninjas.
...I realize I can change the form I have. I merely have to will it...

September 30th, 2005

...The extra energy is getting turned into earth energy...
I wander through the Series of Rooms and find a teddy bear. His body is large but his head and limbs are small. Mary Lou, my mother's teacher assistant, laughs at the mis-proportioned teddy bear.
"Do not laugh at him," I yell.
Then I see Adrian and Candace from IOA Program 7 go into the bathroom together. I tell them not to both be in the bathroom. Only one at a time. Having solved that situation, I leave. I walk down the Highway Street.
...The Highway Street is a highway and the main street of a town...
I pass a Twinkleland fast food restaurant. It looks like a McDonalds and a giant citadel combined into one. It had three stories.

September 29th, 2005

I walk onto my parent's front lawn and find a group of my female students wandering around. All the girls are from Program 5.
...The front lawn turns into a store in Mall X. The store is on the ground floor, near a central hub...
The girls are arranging themselves into a pattern.
...Molly S. represents the number eight in the pattern...
...I need to change the equation...
I rearrange the girls into a new pattern hoping to change the equation. I look over to my laptop. Normally I could read if the equation had changed on it, but a warning window has popped up on the screen. The warning window says my laptop needs a new device plugged into it. I am not familiar with the device it needs. I look around and see the device. Thank goodness. I go to plug it in but my laptop has three available ports: two smaller and one larger.
"Which one do I plug it into," I wonder. "Guess I'll just have to try each one until I find the correct one."

September 23rd, 2005: Dream 2

A creature is infecting my IOA students and myself. It has a spheroid body with three long legs and one eye made of two concentric rings.
...I somehow know that the creature does not want to possess us. It only wants to go home...
I am talking to Robert from Program 4 when a cure is revealed. We are to enter changing booths.
...The creature was a sub-atomic lifeform...
...It was exploring the sub-atomic space of a person...
...The person received a power boost, raising him from power level four to power level sixteen...
...The creature was knocked out of synch with it's sub-atomic dimension...
...It grew large and spread hyper-dimensionally through people...
...The changing booth would re-align us...
...The booths would also find the power boosted person and reduce them back to power level four...
...The creature would then fall out of synch with us and back in synch with the sub-atomic dimension...

September 23rd, 2005: Dream 1

...Two groups of people need to complete the Pythagorean Equation...
...Each group is part of the equation...
...One group is side A...
...The other group is side B...

September 18th, 2005

My family and I are walking through the Museum. My entire family is there: parents, brother, grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We approach the largest tree I have ever seen. There is an elevator in the base of the tree. The elevator will take us to the Amusement Park.
...The elevator and the Giant Tree are one organism...
...As we ascend the levels I remember I have been on this elevator before...
"Jeff, you remember when we were kids and rode this elevator," I ask my bother.
"Yeah," he says.
The elevator stops. The door opens on the Amusement Park. It has a dinosaur theme. An animatronic hadrosaur lays in the mud next to the entrance turnstile. It asks for everyone's ticket. We give it our tickets and enter the park. On our way to the main area we pass a lava pool and another mud pool. Inside the mud is a pink animatronic hadrosaur laying on it's side. She was half submerged in the mud. I feel uneasy looking at the hadrosaur. It looked to be in pain. We finally enter the main area of the Amusement Park. A large rolling field spreads out in front of us. Once my eyes adjust to the dusk level light, I see that the rides are spread out across the fields. I am about to tell my family this when I realize we have become separated. I am alone. I keep moving hoping to run into them. I see a Bozo the Clown ride off to my right. I walk over to check it out. Bozo the Clown was working at his ride.
"I wish I could go over and hug Bozo the Clown. Then I would feel comforted instead of scared and alone."

September 14th, 2005

I am walking through a college town. It has the appearance of a large city in a small space. As if the town has been compressed. The Compressed Town. I walk past a Home Depot's garden shop. They have full grown plants that need to be put into water to survive. I buy them all, since many are vegetables and herbs I have been unsuccessful at growing. Two of the plants were red lettuce. My brother sees me buying the plants.
"Why you buying plants," he laughs.
I ignore him.

September 12th, 2005

I am driving through the country in an RV. I am not alone, but I am not sure who else is with me. Over the radio I hear of a country man and his plight. His wife dies, so now he and his children preform a traveling religious show to get by. I drive past the religious show's tent and decide to check it out. Once stopped Phil Dipasqualli exits from the RV.
"I didn't know you were in there Phil," I say.
Phil ways hi, then walks over to talk to the father. Phil is speaking different than I remember. He is speaking in the same rural dialect as the father. The father is impressed. I go to say hi.
"I don't like you," says the father, "too city."
The father then introduces his seven children. Three late teen blonde daughters, a teen blonde daughter, a preteen redhead daughter, a brunette preteen son, and a brunette little child. The father then tells us the oldest son has taken over the wifely duties. The oldest son starts to cry at mention of this.
"Hold on," I think. "Is he saying he has sex with the oldest son?"
Then he tells us the redheaded daughter and youngest son play fiddle in the show.
...My awareness leaves my body and floats around the grounds. I spy the traveling salesman...
...The traveling salesman is spending all his time with the youngest blonde girl....
...The father discovers them, but the salesman claims he was studying religion with the blonde...
...The father goes hunting in the deep woods in the back arena...
...He is a horrible shot and accidentally shoots one of the three horses living in the woods...
...He leaves the woods and meets one of the blonde daughter. They hug, but it too much like a lover's embrace...
...My awareness reenters my body...
"Is everybody sick or what," I scream in my thoughts.
Rain begins to pour from the skies. I take shelter under an awning. I find a pop machine under the awning with me. It is filled with Pepsi's new flavor: two flavors in one bottle. The wind increases to a gale level. I run from the shelter. I run down a hallway to a room containing the Mother and all the children.
"Isn't she dead," I wonder.
The oldest blonde sisters act as if they know about the youngest blonde and the traveling salesman.

September 11th, 2005

I am playing a video game.
...my awareness enters the game...
I am traveling through a canalled city with a group of children. Small winged faeries fly through out the city. Every time a feary approaches, one of the kids needs to hit the L1 button on his controller. Doing so will cause it to be hit by a magic stone. Whenever a faery is hit by a magic stone it turns into a creature made of living shadows. As we move through the city I find a pattern on the brick walls. It is a spiral with an elongated tail. The spiral has 3 quarter-circles under the tail. Each quarter-circle smaller than the last. One of the kids announces we need to head to the opposite side of town.
"Okay."
We travel over bridges and through back alleys on our way to the other side of town. Eventually our trail stops at a ledge. To continue forward, we would have to jump off the ledge and land on the sidewalk down below. I do not want to jump but must continue on. I decide to try backtracking. I manage to find a different way to the ground. Unfortunately the way is guarded by a vicious dog.

September 6th, 2005

A demon, who has taken a dragon's and man's form, has kidnapped Suzanne and my daughter. He bound them to the center square of an energy grid. An energy grid located on the first floor of the Antique House.

September 2nd, 2005

I am walking through Mall X. I notice blood flowing through the mall. Not across the whole floor, but like many rivers of blood.
...A sorcerer prince from another dimension switches place with me...
...He moved through the Place of Purification to the blood flow...
...The blood flow is the energy flow of the Mall...
...Now on this side, he wants to summon the rest of his men...

Agust 24th, 2005

I find myself married to Suzanne but also dating another woman. My girlfriend was an asian woman somewhere between eighteen and twenty. My wife and girlfriend know of each other. They are fine sharing me. I do not understand that. My girlfriend approaches me with a list of things to do. Buy her groceries, wash her clothes,...etc. Really basic chores.
"You can do all these things for yourself. It's not like back in Asia where you come from. You do not have to have a man's blessing."

August 23rd, 2005

I am watching a movie at the Movie Theatre.
...My awarenesss enters the movie...
...I do not become a character in the movie but merely watch the events unfold...
A young female witch uses her magic to clean the forest floor. She has a link to ants and can command them. She tells them her plan. The ants leave their nests and spread out across the forest floor.
...My awareness follows one group of the ants...
A group of the ants encounter a scorpion. It is larger then them. Dangerous with it's stinger. They swarm over the scorpion. Soon it is completely covered in ants. It then dies. The ants have tore it apart. They are now removing the pieces from the forest.

August 20th, 2005

...I am Jamie Oliver, the naked chef...
I have just arrived at the boatyard where my yacht is moored. The boatyard is in an exclusive French resort town. I climb the ladder to the top deck. Then I slide down the slide to the front pool. I hit the water making a large splash. As I sink I realize I can not feel any water in the pool. I am floating in something, yet nothing is there. Once I reach the pool bottom I stand up. Now I feel water. A young boy , at the side of the pool, yells at me.
"Hey you! You almost bumped into my sister."
A thought occurs to me as I look around.
"Hmm. I bet those people on the beach are wondering why I went into a private pool to get wet when the ocean is right nearby. Come to think of it, why did I?"
I decide to leave the boat. I enter the exit slide and slide to a fancy mansion. The mansion is in my parent's backyard. I land in the pool, again making a big splash. Coming out of the water I see that a reality show is being filmed here. Greg Brady is discussing with the cast and crew what to do if a bear shows up.
"That's an odd thing to discuss," I think.
Then a large male brown bear enters the scene. Everyone runs. I am transfixed by the beauty of the bear. His fur is so beautiful. He has so mush power. Then I realize that I am in danger and run. We all hide in the haybales in the barn.
"Wait a minute. If I can climb up here, then a bear definitely can. Uh-oh"
Before I can find a new hiding spot the bear enters the barn. He moves with such a slow deliberate pace. He notices a man and woman couple. He walks towards them. Each faints in fear. The bear loses interest and continues on. He passes by me. He turns his head to look at me. Our eyes meet, then he continues on.

August 17th, 2005

My brother Jeff accompanies me as I run some errands in town. We stop for lunch at an ethnic-themed restaurant. I could not discern what nationality of food the restaurant was trying to serve. We order lunch. We eat the lunch. We are amazed by how good the lunch is. I walk to the counter to tell the owner how good the food was. He is an Indian male in his late thirties, early fourties.
"Thank you," he says. "You make drawings right?"
"Yes."
"Is it easy to draw a foot?"
I am about to answer but he turns around and leaves.
"That's cool if he doe not want to know or show respect for Brighid," I think. "She'll deal with him."
Jeff and I leave to finish our errands. My car is covered in snow. Damn, I don't have a snow brush in my car to clear the snow. I put the window down and up many times to shake the snow loose from the window. It finally works. I leave the restaurant's parking lot and drive down the road.
"Oh man," I think. "I am driving the wrong way. I can not get where I want to go by taking the route I am now."
I think a minute then realize I can reach my destination still but I have to go a different way.
Jeff turns to me and says," Reba's ratings are slipping so they are planning one of those special event episodes."

August 16th, 2005

I come across a square. A horizontal line and vertical line divided the square into four sections. Two opposite corners were white, while the other corners were deep blue. Someone comes with a loaf of sourdough bread. The person cuts the bread in half. Each half is placed on one of the deep blue corners.

August 9th, 2005

I am standing in an office. Four figures in business suits enter the room. Three neanderthals and a monkey. They take no notice of me and move to stand around the round table in the center of the room. A golden chalice, encrusted with jewels of all colors stands in the center of the table. The neanderthals and monkey throw a hand forward casting magic onto the chalice.
...Their magic is purifying the chalice and its contents....
...My awareness fills with a vision...
I am seeing the past. The neanderthals used to be gorillas in the forest. They travel to the chalice, with the monkey, to purify it.
...The magic is changing them...
...They are evolving...
...The forest is turning into the office as time progresses...
Everything is evolving I realize. This dream is a good sign about my life I think.

August 2nd, 2005: Dream 2

I am staying at John Ruane's house. I need to use the bathroom, but I do not like to crap at someone else's house. I leave the house and wander the neighborhood. A public bathroom must be around here somewhere. On the other side of the neighborhood I find a toilet. It is inside a black Ford F-350, with oversized wheels. I pull myself into the cab and sit on the toilet. The truck's front passenger seat was replaced with a toilet. As I go, a couple on a harley pull up. The man is one of those bald muscle-man types. The woman is a lived-life too hard, trashy, bar floozy types. They stop next to the truck and begin to argue. Soon they are yelling so loud I am sure they are going to punch each other. Then they stop. Start to kiss and make-out. Something then occurs to me.
"What if that guy owns this truck. Uh-oh. I am taking a crap in some guy's truck. He is going to kill me."
The man gets off the motorcycle and enters the truck. He sees me on the toilet. I am sure he is going to attack me in anger.
"Using the toilet," he says. "No rush man. Finish when you finish. I don't have to be to work for hours."
I am still nervous so I skip wiping myself. I can do that at the Ruane's. I leave the truck and walk back towards John's house.
...Somehow I end up at the Amusement Park and Carnival with Suzanne...
...Suzanne is pregnant...
As we walk to a newer ride, everyone is telling Suzanne she should take it easy. On account of being pregnant. We arrive at the ride and walk up it's giant ramp. Everyone on the ride is yelling at Suzanne for walking up the ramp. You should be taking it easy! You'll hurt the baby!
"Shut the fuck up all of you," I shout.
We reach the top of the ramp. There is a slide you slide down. Cool. I like slides. I slide down the slide. It twists and turns backtracking on itself often. As I descend I realize there is symbolism in the ride.
"The up is straight , and filled with people yelling at you. The down is all curved and twisted. Climbing higher in your life is full of people telling you what to do. Climbing down in your life is where the true bumps and changes occur."
I reach the bottom and walk around the Amusement Park and Carnival. I see recruitment ads for soldiers all over the park. They are done in a turn of the century British style. Odd. Then I come to a tent.
...A voice whispers to me. The lost ones have been helped. Would you like to see them? Then enter...
I go into the tent and find a conveyor belt in a glass and plastic room. It is a large one like those used in moving packages. It is not contained inside this room, but merely passes through.
...They have been returned to their true natures...
The Siamese Twins move past on the conveyor belt. They have been gentically altered into Turtle boys. They may have been physically altered but still retain their personalities. They are writing higher math on each other's bodies. The move out of the room. Then my little black boy buddy moves out. Now he is a skunk. I want to hug him but I can't because of his musk. Instead I lean close and tell him how special he is to me. How much I will miss him. He smiles. Then he is out of the room. A magazine comes by on the belt. It is from the same company that made the recruitment ads around the park. The cover has a curvy N on the cover. The n is repeated infinitely, growing smaller and smaller, on the cover. Each n is inside the previous n, flipped.

August 2nd, 2005: Dream 1

Suzanne and I are traveling through the Haunted House ride with the demon who built it. He used nursery rhymes as his theme for the ride. Each room is a different nursery rhyme. We enter one room to find a man and woman walking down a dark corridor. They are talking to each other about how they are not real. They do not truly exist.
"Ah-ha. They are the Lost Travelers," I say.
The demon says good job and we head to the next room. There are no lights in this room. We turn on our flashlights and see a small mouse in the middle of the room. Hmm. Next to him is a larger mouse. Then an even larger mouse sits next to him in a long line of increasingly larger mice. Odd. The line of mice wraps around the corner. The mouse at the corner was the size of a large house cat.
"Fuck. This is the Wee Willey Winkey room. The nursery rhyme about the larger and larger mouse till one bigger than a man shows up and kills the people," I exclaim.
We run from the room. While between rooms I decided I was tired of running I am tired of being scared. I am going back and I WILL kill those mice.
"Lost Travellers, you want to help me fight Wee Willey Winkey," I ask.
"Yes," says the man. He looks like Cary Elwes.
We run into the Wee Willey Winkey room but find the threat has passed.
...The demon turned into a wolf and ate the mice...

July 25th, 2005

A group of animals were waiting for me to finish my play. They want to help me preform it. I am almost finished, but can't decide how to do the final part. I have written two equally good parts. The animals grow tired of waiting and leave to go to James Caan's party. Frustrated I walk around ISU.
...I am enrolled in Illinois State University...
I think about the play as I wander the campus. Maybe all monologues. Maybe more action. I don't know. I realize I am near my dorms, so I go to my room.
...Momence High School was converted into the dormitories...
My roommate is there with his friends: Ross, Chandler, and Joey from the Friends television show. I ask if I can hang out with them. They say yes. I sit on the couch when they leave to get some beer.
Enrique, the foreign exchange student, turns to me ands asks, "Are you safe?"
"I am safe."
We sit on the couch a while. Bored I decide to leave.
"Enrique, you want to come with me while I get my mail?"
"Yes."
We leave the dorm room and head to the mailboxes.
...The mailboxes were flattened cardboard boxes on the front lawn...
Almost everyone else is at their mailbox. Odd. Then I see everyone has received the same blue form letter.
...The letter was from the city of Chicago. They were informing everyone for their benefit the dormitories were being shut down to allow the students a chance to explore new options. Everyone knew that the city was really evicting everyone to save money...
Everyone is pissed so I decide waiting in the dorm room may be better. Enrique and I walk back upstairs.
"Damn. I locked my keys in the room. We have to go see the RA."
We head downstairs and stand in line. Eventually my turn comes. I tell the middle-age heavy-set black woman behind the counter locked my keys in my room.
"Which room," she asks.
"532"
I wait and wait. She finally returns with my keys. I go back to my room. What the hell. The door is unlocked. My roommate and his friends have returned. They are sitting on the couch drinking beer. Seeing them reminds me I still have not done anything. I still have not decided anything. Frustrated I run from the room. I run from the dormitory to nearby Momence Junior High. I have two sweatshirts but I can not decide what to do with them. One is black, the other red. I resolve to place one sweatshirt in each hand. Now I can run full speed. Only I can not. I am pushing as hard as I can but I am barely moving. I feel like I am running through water. Other students run past me. They are moving at fast speed. Why can't I move fast too.
"When my dreams are like running in water, I must use my will power to push myself. When my body is slow I must use my brain to make myself fast."
I will myself to be faster. Through intense concentration I am able to move faster.

...A giant grid made from glowing golden lines hovers before me...
...A holy guru sits in the center of the grid. He is Indian, dark skinned and dressed only in a loincloth...
...He is cutting ostrich eggs in half with a sword...
...The guru places the top half to the side...
...The bottom half is filled by a pair of human legs...
...The legs move out of the egg, stand up, then grow into a whole human...
...The new born human walks off and the guru cuts another egg...

...A giant grid made from golden glowing lines hovers before me...
...It is like a giant calendar...
...In the center square sits a group of monkeys and apes...
...They appeared as orcs and goblins in the sides of my vision...
...They were smashing rocks allowing the liquid gold inside to pour out...

I am riding on a bus with Program 5 from IOA. Molly S. accuses me of being in love with Jessica S..
...who she calls Jessica Jessica...
I do not respond to her comments, so everyone thinks it is true. The bus arrives at Mall X. I exit the bus to find Jessica in a nearby car. She waves but I ignore her. I do find her attractive. Yet she is 16.
"Hopefully by ignoring her I can avoid my feelings," I think.
I enter Mall X and remark how I know all the shops. I need to use the bathroom. Looking for the bathroom, I pass by the Ramones. Each Ramone was wearing a Spider-man shirt. Cool. I finally find the bathroom but have to squeeze through a tight passage to enter. Once done in the bathroom I want to head upstairs. The only way up is a tight rope. I start to get on the tight rope, but am stopped by an employee.
"You need to wear this."
He hands me a giant backpack. I put it on and walk up the tight rope. A blonde man and his daughter are coming down the tight rope. We both can't fit.
"The top is closed," says the blonde man.
"But you were up there," I say.
"I have a ticket from the Mall cops."
I don't believe him and continue forward. He backtracks to allow me to the top. I reach the top and it is all boarded up. Everything is roped off. Damn. He was right I think. Disappointed I go back downstairs.

I am traveling down the gravel road. A dark haired woman places two needles in the soil to the side of the road. She tells us that I, and the jocks on the road with me, need to go through the eyes of the needle. We are sucked through the needles. All our skin gets pulled off. I expect to find use damaged and bloody. Instead we are fine. Brighter even. Then the woman explains the world to me.
"There are levels to the here and now. Levels stacked directly behind each other. First the Fire layer, then the air layer, earth layer, water layer, and lastly the mental layer. The going through the needle pulled off the pieces of you that were too heavy."
