Dream Journal

I’m in a concrete, domed school-like building. I’ve been here before many, many times. There are two elevators. I know a secret, though. It’s because I’m in Ed’s Room. I take the elevator to floor 12, make some sideways adjustment, and then go all the way to the top. Where do I end up? The Atlanta Tower. There’s another student about to do his film project. That interfered with my latest trip so I decide to wait around. While waiting, I meet Brigit, this girl who has this huge living space with a forest of 10-foot tall pink molten muffin-top things. She has photo books of her and four friends in attention-getting outfits. There are walkways made of chairs and junk, and I slip on one on the way out. I want to help fix it.

I’m building the Atlanta Tower, or I’m a child inside it as my parents are building it. There’s a sense of it being something I don’t want Dan’s help with anymore. It’s being built on many fronts at once, and they’re all unfinished. There are lots of people working, and there’s sheetrock lying about. I feel like I’m out of money. It’s huge, like a mountaintop, up by the birds, all covered in trees. Sometimes the buildings were merged into grassy hills.

At the Atlanta Tower I have free reign to go wherever I want. Upon discovering an outer porch without any railing, I become upset at a Rox character, who seems to not be actively working on it.

In the last part of the story, I’m with an attractive orange-haired girl and decide to pick up Brigit. I passed through her family’s school area earlier. Now I drive to her house. It’s similar in form to the school but wooden and shaded by trees. The left opening is a car port. Everything has a sensation of height, airiness, a feeling of uplinks/elevators to higher places.

In another elevator at the domed school, I accidentally go down instead of up. There are three sections of three buttons on the wall panel. The buttons are all dirty, broken, and scratched. I don’t want to go down at all so I quickly make the elevator go back up, then I exit.
