East Coast Wobble

Dreamed on 2019.01.26 I'm in college and kinda becoming the next big thing, locally at least, as a visual artist. As I go about my day, people keep coming up to me all concerned, like, "Hey man, you okay?" and I say, "Yeah, I'm cool. Same as usual, what's up?" and they look at me like sadness has coiled around my heart, like I've self-injected a poison I may not recover from. "That parking garage stunt you pulled was something else man, don't ever do that again," someone says, and I quizzical at her, like, what? "Yeah," she says, "that shit you pulled." "What shit I pulled? What parking garage stunt?" And she shows me her phone where I'm standing on the edge saying I'm gonna jump across to the next building and I'm clearly raging on some cocktail of neurowrecking juices, and then this couple I've never met before talk me down. So you know, I sleuth it up and find this couple. "Yeah...

Dreamed on 2019.01.20.0821 I was swimming laps, but we got cut off by the garbage truck driving by. I did the thing I do when cars cut me off (lean back, look aghast, gesture with arms out), and they just flipped me off. My swimming shift was done, so I got in the lifeguard chair. The garbage workers WERE the current olympic swimteam, just doing their thing to get the pool ready for their workout. One of the kids, who was also one of my students, picked up a coffee tin full of water and slung it at me, water and metal and all. He missed. I tried to protest, but he picked up an empty blackbean can (full of water) and slung that too. I had to dodge -- which is hard in a lifeguard chair, yeah? -- so that it didn't rip a chunk of my nose off. Anyway, accusations were made and they (the Wolves) showed up gang like saying things like, "What, he threw a can of water at him? He works at a pool. It's just water" and being all defensive. Anyway, I owned the land and ended up...

Dreamed on 2017.07.21.0424 Some anarchist/terrorist guy attacks the grocery store I work in and tries to escape, but I slow down my perception of time and take off after him. I'm in something like a Goliath from StarCraft, but the top section is capable of flight, which I use. I track him as he leaves the store, then send a barrage of missiles and bullets. He fires back with machine gun like things. We take it out into the parking lot and continue firing with no one taking any damage and the rockets just falling around him on the ground without exploding. Eventually I just get point blank and we're both shooting each other and the bullets aren't doing anything, as if it's a laggy computer game or something. So I suggest dude just leaves and goes home and doesn't come back. Like, ever. Please. And his wife agrees with this very happily and so he agrees to too. After I think they leave, I realize I should pick up all the rockets in case ammunition starts working aga...

Dreamed on 2019.08.18.0150 "It's one thing to seize the means of production. It's another to know how to use them." So many arguments with our neighbor. Their dog got past our fencing and chewed up the tarp we use for water collection. They stole apples from the tree that fell in the storm. Etc. I wanna complain to the employee from the block administration, but she's just a kid eagerly tending the sprouts in our community garden. One day I get a splinter through my shirt and start bleeding and I really look around. At all the trees about to fall that would hit our house. If I try to smile in the dirty mirror, there's a delay. My scared and warped face just hates back at me. Fighting with my neighbor does nothing about how shit the world is. Petty lives and hates lull me into complacence over the cliff. We can't not go over the cliff. It will take a commitment from the whole body, but I must build my own wings.

Dreamed on 2015.09.13.1031 Equivalent of a phone call, but using spoons. I know, but go with me on this. Obviously set in the future, though socially my high school years. We couldn't meet in person today, for reasons, but I'm holding two spoon-like objects, one of which includes her hologram, sitting with legs hooked over the edge and looking around. We're trying to get somewhere and I know it's important I keep the spoon balanced, but we're in a hurry and I have good balance, so I run and jump with several carefully placed steps across a river sort of thing in the downtown area. When I sat on the other side, she wasn't in the spoon anymore. "Hello?" I asked. "Yes?" she responded. She must have climbed out of the seat that allowed you to be projected but left the device operational so we could still talk. "Sorry, did I get you too close to the water on that?" She hesitates then, unrelated to anything we've been talking abou...

Dreamed on 2014.12.18.0618 The aging hippy cult leader looked at me. We'll have you lead the next song, new one. Song O-99? Little boat on the water? I flip panickedly through the song book. I find section O, I get to number 99, I see a completely different title. I continue flipping as the guy stares at me disappointedly. He starts singing some crappy pop song -- like U2 or something -- about a boat on water. It feels familiar, whether I've heard it before, so I join in and start to mumble my way through. He stops and lets me continue on my own and I stop and stare at him.

Dreamed on 2014.10.01.0552 someone steals a dog from a restaurant and opens all the doors -- they didn't steal Bee, our schnauzer, but she escapes and is busy running a stairway and almost getting through one way doors before they shut and lock me out. she's running next to another dog she's friends with. I catch her eventually and we find the owner for the other dog.

Dreamed on 2014.07.29.0628 gorgeous wooden mansion that my parents bought - huge place, with a huge yard with hhuge old growth trees (though after the recent rain, the ground is damp beneath my feet). Brief anger at the cars who zoom past me and drive across the yard, but it's forgiven when it turns out to be more of the Olson Clan coming to join us.It is a good place and we will do well here. It should have cost 900,000, but my dad was able to get it for 10,000 instead becuase of things. sssssssssssssssssssssApparently it was built for the Pandora Researchc Poroject.

Dreamed on 2014.08.25.2259 driving home from vacation with my parents and brother and grandma and grandpa -- we can't all fit in the one car though, but no one else seems to acknowledge that, none of them see the problem. I point out that I drove and I have another car we should probably use, but my dad says no, it's more efficient to take just one car. Everyone's getting ready to pick my car up and flip it over on top of the other car as if it were a canoe, so we can just drive one car back and carry the other by locking the car racks together. I'm fed up with them and I know it's a bad idea, so I protest by sitting on the curb a good distance away and not helping.

Dreamed on 2014.04.07.0444 getting ready for the horse race at the middleschool at 4:00 and it's currently 3:40. I'm in orange and blue and green, but I'm working on getting out of green since everyone else is wearing it. I realize I've left my Alric axe in the car, so I go out to get it. In the process, I realize I've left Bee (our Schnauzer) in the car, so I crack the windows for her, get her on her leash and take her out. It's getting ready to storm outside and there are very tiny tornadoes weaving through the parking lot. Nothing to be worried about. I get her out of the car, but even though I double checked that the car was in park twice, it turns out it was really in drive. As I get out of the car with Bee, the car takes off forward on its own, ramps off a small bank, careens across the upper parking lot, then strikes another bank and its alarm goes off. People gather as I race towards it.

Dreamed on 2013.07.02.0910 Returning to that damned orphanage one last time, but I know I must still follow all the rules. I'm late returning for the big clean, so they make everyone wait for me, but I am good at what I do and I have a system. Though known for my disobedience and rebellion I work fast and soon have everything up to standard -- it's poor and sloppy where I know they won't check, but in other places even the pieces of hay that make up the floor are aligned with each other.

Dreamed on 2014.02.07.0547 As the assistant principal comes into my studyhall to take over so I can leave, I'm about to shout at them to sit down, be quiet, get to work, stop (literally) climbing the walls and playing basketball and standing on desks and being loud, but he puts a finger to lips and pretends to sneak and explains that he wants them to not even notice that he's here -- he doesn't want to disturb their reading. I look around at the chaos, then wake up.

Dreamed on 2014.03.02.0520 Line up of kids need to get injections to prevent mosquito bites. Several of us are working to give them. I've given them plenty of times before. The tools are pretty much a leather-working awl, a little surgical knife, a tub of honey, and a sewing needle. The first kid comes up, I prep the tools, I explain the process (put some honey on the scalpel and add a tiny bit to the bloodstream for it's antiviral/antiseptic properties), and then I don't do it. I keep finding myself taking the tools out of my mouth (not in a painful way, but it in a let-me-hold-these-in-my-mouth-while-doing-something-with-my-hands-way. Eventually I stare at the honey coated scalpel and realize that I'm stalling because I have no clue how to do this, or even why honey is involved in the procedure. I feel guilty for holding up the line, and making the kid in my seat scared. Later, I am an out of favor healer that was once chosen by a god ... possibly, I am Asclepius,...

Dreamed on 2014.02.25.0428 apartmnent sitting and buildig pyramids with legos and constructoblocks. ELABORATE PRANK TO MUG ME IS TO PRETEND I'M A GHOST AND fail to EXORCISE ME SO THAT WHEN I THINK no one can see me they can just come and knock me over and take my stuff. but i get my allegy medictine back.

Dreamed on 2009.09.16 I move quietly, careful not to disturb the boat parked on my left, or any of the tools hanging on the walls to my right. I think I can see a clear path to the door on the other side. This is dumb! Who ever thought to make the sidewalk go THROUGH people's garages? And considering that it does, even, which is a big consideration, why did they leave their doors open? I feel like I'm trespassing, though I know I'm not. Ridiculous. Navigating through other people's garages. Reaching the far door, I open it, hoping to see a long and clear sidewalk stretching out in front of me. I stumble and fall. No, not a long sidewalk, but not another garage either. A pile of hay. I have fallen two feet into the edge of a pile of hay, which must be at least five feet deep where I swim in it. And there's construction equipment – two cranes, here, scooping at the hay. I'm in the hay they're scooping at. Okay, no need to worry. If I stay quiet they ...

Dreamed on 2014.02.14.0634 We are guests in someone's house. We've been sleeping for a while and are trying to figure out what time it is. Some clocks say one thing, other clocks are 70 minutes ahead of them. every device I open to check the time is a few seconds away from shutting off, but I stop the count down and check. then realize there is a storm and the house has a glass roof. The wind is strong and I see whole trees picking up and getting flung by above us. Trying to wake Rachel up so she can go take shelter with me elsewhere. She's sitting up, but her eyes are still closed and she's still asleep.

Dreamed on 2011.08.28 spilled huge amount of sewing needles at a party -- had to clean them all up all of them
