Dream Journal

Rebecca and I are in the city, in this comic store, where I looked for New Mutants and X-Force, both comics about the next generation of mutants. The comic guy was talking to another guy about a tragedy at home, maybe his house had burnt down. I thought maybe I should tell him that his comic store would burn down, too — that I dreamed about it.

There was something going on that was giving freedom and rights to women, and it was a long-term thing and very successful. So I decided to start a rally for the children, to release them from the great bias and control, to free the children and the young! I started yelling out to everyone to gather and rally the children. All these children started following me in this huge march. At one point I was trying to cross the street but there was too much traffic and I decided against it.

On the next block there were no cars, only people, and one of them was HUGE — at least 10 feet tall. I wanted to talk to him but he turned invisible. In my head, I turned around to see if I could see him and imagined I’d see a ripply spot where he was. In this imagined scene, I was in a curved spherical space where it’s darker but I still partially experience what’s outside me. When I’m inside my head, I’m not experiencing the outside. I talked with Rebecca about it all.

Rebecca and I get distracted from the march and go to a comic store. We start grabbing rave fliers on the way out. This friendly guy starts giving me directions to a rave near Atlanta: take 75 to 6-- to 706, to exit 13/14, then to the liquor store on Walker Road. I didn’t understand his directions at first but then it became clear.

Next door was this food place and we sat outside around this big rock. On the rock was this guy we knew from somewhere. He eventually started talking to us. He introduced this smiley girl to us and we started talking. Rebecca got really nervous and shy so I had to be more talkative. The girl said “You must be in a really bad mood.” Rebecca said we were tired out from all the directions we just heard. During the conversation with the girl, I turned inside myself again. Everything got really skewed with dark areas from behind me becoming more central to my visual field. I missed a few moments of outside activity and when I turned back out, she was back to talking with her other friends. The girl grabbed a piece of aluminum foil. I grabbed mine and got all excited because I knew a funny foil trick. She noticed me beaming at her and brought her attention back to me. I couldn’t access the trick for a few moments and she waited. I said “I know this trick with foil” and then I remembered it. I blew on it funny and it made funny sounds. There was amusement.
