January 8th, 2006: Dream 2

I am filming dragons with a man and a woman. The egg shaped man in the white panama suite wants us to return to his apartment.
...The eggman is powerfull and dangerous...
He wants to see the footage we have taken so far. We go to the woman's apartment to retrieve the footage. Her little girl wants to come with us.
"No."
It is hard to stop her because she is a shapeshifter. She turns into a flea and hides in my collar. I, with the man and woman, arrive at the egg shaped man's apartment. His midget assistant opens the door. The little girl bounces into the apartment. We do not notice. We hand the footage to the midget and he hands us a bag filled with something. We do not know what.

January 8th, 2006: Dream 1

...A man has bonded with darkness...
...Darkness flies to the man like bats and black dots...
...Darkness of shadows, caves, and night. Not darkness as evil...
...He is also bonded with technology, but not as much as darkness...

I am wandering the ground floor of Mall X. I notice the discount store is closing. Everything has been marked down for liquidation. I check out what they have left but find nothing I desire. I leave.
...As I walk out the doors the scene shifts from the discount store to the Theatre...
I am just in time to catch the last movie of the day. Suzanne and her friend Jenny join me. We start to climb to the balcony to find our seats.
...As we climb the stairs the scene shifts. We are now in my car, with myself driving...
We are trying to decide where to eat. Schaumberg and Lemont lay in front of us. Which town do we choose. Then Suzanne tells us about a restaurant in Lemont. It sounds cool and her relatives own it. I drive across a giant arcing bridge to enter Lemont.
"Turn on 87th street," Suzanne says.
I am unable to see the street in time to turn. Suzanne yells at me. I turn on 81st street. Amazingly the restaurant was on this street. Cool.
"See, it worked out," I say to Suzanne.
The restaurant was built in one of Lemont's historical buildings. It is decorated as if a nineteenth century parlor. This theme even extends to the menu, which is a nineteenth century buffet. The customers sit in booths shaped like carriage cars.
"This place is cool," I think.
We are the only customers in the restaurant. Additionally no employees have come out to greet us.
"Maybe we're here to early," I say.
We pass through a set of double doors into a crowded hall.
"So this is the restaurant."
When we go to purchase our meal, Suzanne tries to get a family discount. She fails for her aunt and uncle are not working today. Fifty dollars a person says the cashier.
"I don't know about this," I say to Suzanne.
"Let's do it," Suzanne says to me.
"You can do better on the price," says Jenny to the cashier.
After we pay the cashier tells us Suzanne's Uncle has left.
"Your uncle had a vision. He left to wander the four holy hills of the Bible. He even wanders the Hill of Jericho...the cursed hill."

January 4th, 2006

I am converting a passenger bus for my use. I am attaching shells, gold, and large slabs of jade and turquise to the sides of the bus. Soon it will be ready as to carry me through my life. But not yet, for the materials are very expensive.
...Whenever I need more money I turn to a nearby floating computer screen. It gives me jobs when I need them...

January 2nd, 2006

Suzanne has asked my for my help. She wants me to assist her with her superhero story. She has lost all joy in the creating of the story. The story concerns a character I created that was like a beanpole version of Daniel Boone. He is running around Venture's cashiers.

January 1st, 2006

Suzanne tells me to leave that dog alone. I can not. I am drawn to it. The dog appears to be a corgi. I love corgis. The dog comes over to sniff me and I pick it up. I flip it over to rub it's belly and see two bandages on it's lower abdomen. The bandages are places so as to create an X.
"Oh no. You've been neutered," I think.
Then I notice there are additional bandages on the dog's belly. A square bandage with a cartoon dog printed on it and an additional two bandages forming an X.
"Why would you cut a dog this much to neuter it?"

I am waiting at IOA for Program 4 to finish its lunch. When they leave I will pull down a wall of stone.
...The wall of stone was made of cardboard boxes...
...The wall connected to another reality. A dimension filled with toy robots...
The Program 4 staff is yelling at the students. Yelling vehemently.
...The IOA cafeteria changes into the gravel road by my parent's house in Momence...
"Man, am I glad I stopped hanging out with my old friends," I think.
Then I notice Charles Morris, all of 23 years old, is one of the students in Program 4.

December 28th, 2005

I graduate to the University. It is surrounded by fields and swamps.
...The university is secretly using fey creatures to work the fields...
...The university alternates between being in the nineteenth century and a post-apocalytic future...
I move into my room. My room has no walls but merely purple curtains separating it from the other rooms. It is the central third of the boarding house. The headmistresses live in the last third and the female students the first third. I have to pee. I can find no bathroom in my room. I walk out to the patio and pee off the side. The patio was built of flagstone and glass. I look over at the neighboring house and am fascinated. I see, through a window, an older student studying. I fall in love.
...I realize this is a movie. I know the plot. She is in love with a bookish bore played by Kyle McLaughlin...
...The end of the movie is we end up together...
I can not figure out how to get from my building to hers. I pee on the deck again when I notice that my mother and the headmistresses can see me. Uh-oh. Then I wonder how I ended up naked. I rush to my room to find a pair of pants. Instead I find my insignia card. My mother and the headmistresses leave. I sneak out for the big party. I find my love intrest at the party. I talk to her a little bit then start to dance. A pretend dance as if I was a native chief.
...I hear drums and feel another world the more I dance...
She laughs. The bookish bore is studying instead of partying. I try to get him to join in. He refuses.
"I prefer the company of more mature people," he snaps.
She leaves with him.
"Damn."
I walk to a nearby window to watch her walk away. Instead I see a group of the fey field workers storming the university. The dwarves, then the other workers, throw their implements and tools onto the campus lawn. They are shouting. Then they riot. The campus is being torn apart. A fire starts. The leader of the fey folk rides through the flames. I can make out his mohawk haircut, but not what he is riding.
"I hope he is a centaur," I think.
He moves closer and I see he is riding a giant bug.
...The bug exists in the post-apocalyptic future...
"Maybe they are not fey," I think.
He leads the fey folk through the a wall of vines and plants in the swamps.
..My awareness leaves my body and moves to see the University Elders in their meeting room...
A university elder tells the others not to worry. We have our own defenses.
...My awareness moves again to see the plants in the swamp grow giant mouths. Cannibal plants! The plants then start to spit at the fey folk...

December 25th, 2005

I have just stepped of a bus into a park. I sit on a nearby bench feeling the bright sunshine warm my face. Through the gaps in the trees I can see the town built around the park. Every building is old-style brick. Cool.
"It is so peaceful and beautiful here," I think.
The bus driver announces it is time to go. I start to walk to the bus, but stop when I see Jim Krumdick. He is talking to a Burger King employee. The worker hands Jim something then leaves.
"What was that," I wonder.
Jim sees me and calls me over.
"You ever eat at Burger King Jason," he asks.
After thinking for a moment I answer, "yes, last night."
"Where's your receipt," he asks.
I search my pockets but can not find it. I can not find my debit card either. Did I lose my receipt I wonder. I find a receipt but the signature looks like a twelve year olds. All sloppy and misshappen.
...The signature changes to my signature when I blink...
I show the receipt to Jim. He looks it over, nods approval, then throws it away.
"Did you hear Jason. Adam Carrolla's and Adam Sandberg's production company have joined together. They were both at that Burger King and got horrible service. It was what got them to first start talking to each other."
It is time to get on the bus. I sit in the front seat. The bus drives down South River Road in Momence. I see out the window a golden statue. It is an overweight balding man in his fifties looking into a mirror. The statue was built in honor of the producer from the Jack-a-bilmore production company.
...I hear the producer's speech in my mind...
..."I never went to college for what I did. Nor do I fundamentally understand why you have to. Anybody can make a movie. People make it so complicated. My secretary comes to me and says you should make a movie about this and bam I do."...
South River road is starting to flood. A lot of new construction is underway.
"Wow, things are changing," I think.
I see a giant flame shoot up into the sky. It is a special effect from the nearby movie set. Cool. I see a construction foreman talking to the other workers. I hear him shout concerns over the flooding.
"Why worry, the movie has insurance to cover flood damage," I think.

December 22nd, 2005

I am working at a school in Momence. It is a rehabilitation center for teen addicts.
...The school used to be Farm and Fleet...
I lead my class to the music room. Mrs. Schafer, the principal, has placed a sign on the door. "Your pain is the price you pay for choosing to be an addict." A new student joins us in the music room. She is a black teen female. She speaks about how she wants to change. As she takes her seat a pain shoots through my right heal. I lift my foot to investigate the pain. I can not find anything wrong or the cause of the pain. Hmmm. I then notice the class is watching "Everybody Hates Chris" on the television.
...In the corner of my eyes I can see a reality where the show is real right next to our reality...
I take my free time to write down what art supplies I need. Two stones. Work on TMUMH and a second story about a knight-superhero.
"When will I have time to do two stories," I wonder.
Someone cries out. It is the television show. The mother has fallen onto a waterbed and is stuck. Regular slapstick comedy. Then the waterbed breaks. Water begins to fill the room.
"Why do my feet feel wet," I think.
Water is coming into the music room from the hallway outside. Brittany P. tells me the water fountain is broken. I go out to check on it. The fountain head will not allow water through, so water shoots out the sides. I quickly glance into the music room to check on the students when I see the music room is filling with water. I am not alarmed at this and even enter the room. I look for my favorite dictionary. I do not want it ruined so I place it through the television screen into another reality. There it will be safe from the flooding.
"When this flooding ends I'll retrieve it," I think.

December 15th, 2005

I walk through the series of rooms. I enter a room darker than the rest. Strands of cooked spaghetti lie on the floor. Each strand is in the shape of a spiral made by right angles.

December 14th, 2005

As I stand out in the snow I see a line of mice. They lie under a gate.
"I'll kill them by dropping a large wrench on them," I think.
....You have already tried that a voice whispers to me...

December 13th, 2005

I find a Tarot card in a room in the Antique House. It is the card of the Mutant Children. The image is of a woman with two razor-toothed mouths wearing a royal dress and crown.
...The Queen of the Caves waits...

December 12th, 2005

I am wandering through a forest preserve in southern Illinois. I am hoping the trail I am following will take me back to my hotel. Looking up, I see that a fog has rolled across the tops of the trees. The sky is no longer visible. The forest is dark like late dusk.
"This isn't good," I think.
A screech breaks my train of thought. I look up to see a pterodactyl flying through the fog.
"Holy shit, a pterodactyl!"
Then I remember I have been here before. I continue walking down the trail. Now there are hundreds of pterodactyle circling over me. They are so much larger than me. I am nervous because to a pterodactyl I look like food.
...I am driving through the darkness in my car...
The pterodactyls are swooping down at my car. I am swerving to avoid being hit.
...My car is floating six feet above the ground...
"If only I was driving on the ground, they would ignore me," I think.
I finally escape the dinosaur zone. I am out of my car and the fog has lifted. I look around the forest to find landmarks. I want to be able to take people back here to prove I saw pterodactyls. I only see giant powerlines. I can not determine which direction is north, south, east, or west.

December 8th, 2005

I am walking through downtown Momence.
...The street is shorter than it should be...
...All of Momence is actually in a display in the Museum. It is one of the exhibits...
The main characters from the television show Three's Company walk down the street. Mr. Furley, followed by Jack and the two woman, enter a building. Will Farrell drives by dressed as a police officer.
...Will Farrell is doing a cameo as the police officer...
"Man, that guy is everywhere," I think.
I walk up to the building Mr. Furley entered to look inside.
"What is he up to," I wonder.
The building is a combination restaurant and laundromat. The Suds and Supper. The place is being robbed. Masked men have Mr. Furley at gunpoint. I run to find the police officer. Down the next street I find Will Farrell talking to an elderly couple.
"Sir, we had a report of domestic abuse at this residence," Will says.
"No sir," says the old man.
"Officer, Officer there is a robbery," I say.
"Wait your turn. Now sir you are covered in bruises and contusions. Obviously something happened. Is your wife beating you?"
"No. I am just...clumsy," says the old man.
I am looking at the old woman and her face disappears for a moment. I try again to get Will Farrell to come to stop the robbery.
"If you do not stop interrupting me sir, I will arrest you for interfering with a police investigation," he shouts at me.
I sit down and wait for him to finnish. The old couple leaves. I begin to get up when I see the bandits run past. Cop cars follow. The sirens catch Will Farrell's attention.
"Hey, there was a robbery," he says.
I am pissed off and start to kick Will Farrell in the but as hard as I can.
I go down the street to find the arresting officers talking.
"We knew by following Mr. Furley we could capture the crooks. For Mr. Furley was hiding the prize."
...My awareness leaves my body and travels to a bathroom Mr. Furley has just entered...
Mr. Furley stands before the mirror groaning. He pulls a long cylindrical object from his anus. It is a packaged rose.

December 5th, 2005

I am in the game Culdcept. I am walking a track through a castle with the kids from the movie The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I am quickly approaching a land square that has been raised to maximum level conferring a +100 bonus to the occupying monster. My youngest child, a daughter, draws her sword. She faces the monster. I know she will defeat it.
