I had a dream where I was part of a group of hunted people who were nearly incorporeal and so insubstantial we floated off the ground.

The dominate culture trapped us at a buffet and made the horrible bargain that we could only leave if we ate five items from the buffet table. 

The terrible trick was that there was no way to eat five items without partaking of flesh. And I wasn't clear, but the flesh was terribly disgusting, like maybe it was human.

I knew that if we ate of the flesh we would lose our in-corporeality and sink to the ground. That only through shitting and sweating for  days and days would we ever get rid of the horrible taint of that flesh, and maybe not then since the stain was deeper than flesh and maybe touched our souls too.

Two Dreams and a Baby

Image
The dream was that there was a woman with six children and a man with six children. The woman's children and the man's children were all paired up, in each family the children had formed firm friendships with one other child. Then the two families combined and it was chaos. The children's bonds were broken and they began forming bonds with just anybody, even outsiders.   The family was completely torn asunder when three of the girls left the family and joined a college. From the college they graduated, but they didn't want to see their families at all. They were marching in a procession down a sidewalk and up a hill. When their family came close they broke and fled like crows scattering across the hillside, in flight.

Walking on a Cloudy Day Dream

Image
In my dream, I went out walking one morning. I wasn't really fully prepared, I had on rubber flip flops, but my real shoes were in my purse. I had the newspaper because I had been reading it and there were a few very interesting events going on in the big city.   One was a tiny sword show which included a silver cutlass.

And one was train ride to under the mountain, though that seemed a little dodgy since you know what lives under the mountain. I have nearly gone on that very ride but stepped off at the last minute.

Cracked Ipad, 280Z, and Brewery Parties

Image
I n my dream we moved back into a party house that I used to go to in Riverside many years ago (though not really). The house was like 4 stories tall  and very old and partially dilapidated. I remembered from the past (dreams and life) that the upper stories were rooms and rooms of dusty lives left right up to the moment they were abandoned. You could walk through them like a museum spying on other peoples lives. But the floors and stairs were old and unstable, it was very dangerous to walk those hallways but so interesting that you had to walk them. The ground floor was the one we lived on the most. The front half was a huge living room/dining room. It was kind of like a furniture store with couches, tables, and chairs scattered everywhere. There were dining tables and chairs lined up so that at least 50 people could all eat at once. We were very excited to be back there and having a chance to live where so many wonderful times were had. The plot was that I fell a...
