Dream Journal
December 10, 1988
First, I dreamed that I married Lisa Hayes and we had two children, and we lived on the fifth floor of a hotel. There was a tornado, and I only had enough time to bring Lisa out. After it passed, we went back up and found our babies being smothered by a blanket. We pulled it off and they were alright. Floors 6 and 8 were gone.
Next part: Me and Vance’s kids were playing in our basement. I got a laser beam — like from Heavy Barrel — and blew up a mini-truck with two blasts. Then I blew up a mini boat, about 2 feet high, with multiple blasts. After that I got in a big water-balloon fight with Autumn and her friend.
References: Lisa Hayes is a character from Robotech. Heavy Barrel is a 3rd person shooter video game. Autumn is my cousin. Vance was my uncle.
Influences: I was 14 when I had this dream. I was really into Robotech, and Lisa Hayes was the wife of the main character. At that time, she was the character in my life that most fit the model of “my wife”, since I hadn’t had a serious girlfriend yet.
