Form Before Function

Dreamed on 2018.01.21 Me and Alfons and Diggs and Charlotte and folks knew the zombies were coming, so we rushed to the hair salon and worked on getting hair cuts. It came down to my turn, but there wasn't much time left, what with the zombies coming. "Diggs, I said. Diggs, you go first." "You're sure?" he asked. I was sure. Diggs got his hair done, and now there's really no time, cause the zombies are coming. "Your turn. Come on now." The hair stylist said. "No," I said, shaking my head. "There's no time, let's go." "What are you thinking, man," Charlotte said. "You need a haircut!" "No," I said. "It's too late." My crew looked horrified, but the hair stylist nodded knowingly. "I get it, man. It's bold, but I get it. One day years from now you'll look back on today and know that this was the turning point. This was the day you didn't get ...

Three-shaft berimbau

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.

Skiing Shopping and Not a Pregnancy

Dreamed on 2013.06.14.0814 The snow was heavy and the mountains taller than I expected as we make our way to the skiing hill. We pass the sledding hill first, and I’d rather stop there, but George (Anne’s friend) is already waiting for us at at the top of the next rise for skiing. We go up this rise and are about to go down, when we read (and argue about) the sign. It doesn’t say not to ski down the main trail because it’s the main trail and already packed down by walkers (which it is), it simply warns about bears and suggests staying on the main trail. Since this hill/mountain is enormous, we all take skis off so we can sit on them and slide down. In the process, I accidentally slip and kick some snow as I fall over which hits my dad in the eyes. He swears at me and starts to slide down the hill. (He holds a grudge for the rest of this dream -- that and the swearing are not at all what I would actually expect from my dad, even though in the dream I thought, “yeah, he’s like that....

"'Til at last all around us was fastness / One vast glassy desert of arsenic white"

Dreamed on 2014.04.15.0620 Ian and I struggling to walk from the outpost at the very north pole to iceland over great ice sheets, etc. BEAUTiful landscapes. Rather dangerous and hard to navigate with just a map and a compass though. We almost turn back after one of the nights a large group of us spend at the old remains of an old burnt out hotel because the wind is so strong that nobody can think. Literally, no one could think. There was this one guy just standing with a blank look on his face and staring while leaning into the wind, and I was like, "Hey! Hey man!" and he didn't respond. When I went around the corner I saw Ian huddling there all depressed at what was happening, but we talked and decided we could do the journey together just the two of us. It was something of a competition, so we left the others behind. When we made it back to an outpost we checked everyone's progress via map and saw that someone had gone several hundred miles across open ocean f...

Trial by Sonata

Dreamed on 2011.08.26 My whole high school class comes out to watch a trial -- at an orchestra concert, some guy had called out this girl’s name to come to the piano. When she didn't, he described her in detail -- including the fact that this wasn't even her real name, she was just in the witness protection program and pretending. And she really must come to the piano.. for the trial. Eventually I go downstairs, and Travis, Tylor, Andy and I are in my parents' basement -- struggling to get mp3 player to play the right music (tool), so we can play ping pong to it.
