Dreamed on 2014.07.28.0811

Musical instruments in Quinn's basement. A drum with a loose piece of metal on its head that changes the pitch. A three-shaft berimbau that join at the gourd but have 4 strings on each shaft.

"Save this whereout she crushes / For dead men deadly wine."

Dreamed on 2014.10.11.0828 Note: Play "sometimes our dreams float like anchors" by William Elliott Whitmore in the background (it was stuck in my head when I woke up). At a large party with people. I have a friend/neighbor with me. Decide to go underwater for a bit and record a video (I have a new goPro that I want to play with -- it's a fingertip --about as thick as a finger print -- and it records whatever I'm pointing at. This works well, as my suit is also set to propel me by pointing with that same finger whenever I accelerate by a gesture with my other hand. We cruise around for a while and find cool bubbles to film (note that our suits cover our face and let us breathe automatically, and this whole transition from air to water is second nature by now. Water can be scary because of the waves and forces that can move you suddenly, but air can be equally scary because you notice gravity more, you move slower, waves that manage to hit you in the air do more t...

Sugar Plum Vine

Dreamed on 2017.04.30.0859 Outside the porthole, the rain kept falling. "Ahem." The tutor recaptured her attention. "This one is called sugar plum vine. Do as I do."

Dreamed on 2014.12.26.0414 Having moved to the future and found it a barren wasteland, I, the hero, explored until I found our current god-tyrants-who-had-meant-well enslaved to a race of multi-dimensional blue shapes who have ruined everything, Imagine that you're Harry and Snape gets taken away but something way worse replaces him so you want to save Snape, and that's basically it. But on a global/universal level. Differences aside, I behold the scene -- the gods are in a short repeating situation that involves setting up shelves and stacking everything on them, but having more things to stack and less space every time it iterates, but anything that can't be stacked successfully is erased from human memory permanently. Ignoring the rest of the situation, I find a god-tyrant-secretary who is confused and lost as well -- but with a little work, I get a message through and effectively stall some gears from turning. Some of the god-tyrants are temporarily kicked out of ...
