New Dreams

These have the same idea as the others…I’m lost and wandering in unfamiliar locations, but these are different in the fact that I’m wandering through what look to be stores…Highly stylized and gigantic versions of places like Walgreens, and places like Wal-Mart(huge warehouses) all maze-like and I can’t find the exits. I’m now in a location that is high up…I’m standing on a patio built into the side of what could only be described as a man-made mountain with slanted sides that descend far down and end in what appear to be walkways. There are several of these “mountains” and I can see them from the patio I’m standing on. I’m not really standing on the patio but with the feeling of someone or something chasing me I’m on the wall of the patio facing the side with a view of another similar patio below and I’ve got the feeling that I’m about to jump to the next one. The sides of these “mountains” are smooth with occasional “outcroppings” built into the sides much like a mountain. There’s another thing that makes these different, and that is the fact that there are people who I’m interacting with(they’re not familiar to me), there’s a part where I grab a person’s arm to keep them from falling and I can’t remember if I pull them up or toss them to the lower patio, but it feels as if we’re both being chased by someone or something. The wall that I’m standing on is made up of pallets set on their side at angles. The last part is where I jump from the wall toward the patio below not really knowing how or if I’m going to land, but I do barely(I land hard and roll and end up on my back hard) and then I hear a dog. I roll over and come face to face with a dog I used to have…And miss dearly…Her name was Buda…

Sitting in my chair, music blaring in my ears(probably quickening my going deaf in my later years(BUT FUCK IT!))...Drinking my Rum&Coke...Scrolling through Facebook...Tearing up at the sight of a little boy in a War torn Syria just sitting there in shock after a bomb destroyed his home...I have no words...no words that you would take seriously...because words, and talking hasn't gotten us anywhere...Everybody has an opinion, and Everybody has the Right to express that opinion and every debate about every "HOT BUTTON" issue comes inexorably to one sides opinion compared to the others...Opinions don't change things...Facts Do!!...Maybe we should stop Talking(Because it hasn't gotten us anywhere?)and Start LISTENING!!! LISTENING TO EACH OTHER, TRULY LISTENING, FEELING WHAT THE OTHER PERSON HAS TO SAY(NOT MIRED IN DOGMA, AND SHORT SIGHTED VIEWS(PARTY LINES)) WE ARE ONE SPECIES...THE LUCKIEST SPECIES ON THIS WHOLE FUCKING PLANET TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY(OPPORTUNITY ABOVE ALL ELSE) TO DECIDE OUR OWN FATE!!!! MAKE IT FUCKING COUNT FOR SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!! WE TRULY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE ARE HERE(individually and as a whole)WE DON'T HAVE TO BE DESTRUCTIVE, DIVISIVE, DIFFERENT, WE JUST HAVE TO...BE...ALL OF US...

Dreams I've had recently... Dreams First started with crawling through ducts, not knowing where I am or where I'm going, only to fall through into a room I still don't know anything about. Continue to walk through rooms, down halls, through doors, sometimes to nowhere, again not knowing where I'm going. Ended up on a balcony overlooking what appeared to be an old Frontier fort completely overgrown with vegetation, with a huge lake stretching out behind it. Nobody in sight anywhere. Second started with walking through different neighborhoods, some I knew many I didn't, and even some that started out familiar but then got unfamiliar. Eventually end up at a huge house, completely unfamiliar. Nobody in sight, anywhere. Third started inside unfamiliar house, again not knowing where I'm going, and nobody in sight. Walk aimlessly through house, up stairs, down halls, through doors. Finally end up out front and go back into the unfamiliar neighborhood, visited other houses, all just as big and confusing. Fourth started outside of a huge unfamiliar skyscraper, I was standing in front of it facing the "street". The Plaza, which is in a rectangular shape, in front of the building sloped away from it towards the " street ", and it had large steps on the outside with smaller ones inside with vegetation growing inside. The stone of the inner part looked like gold. The " street" wasn't visible it looked like a dropoff. The building was all glass, steel, and concrete, and again there was no clear path. I had no idea where I was and where I was supposed to go, and also still no one in sight. Walked up and down stairs, corridors, through doors. I could never see the top of the building. Fifth started with driving through hills, through unfinished neighborhoods into a city and when I got to the city, which reminded me of San Francisco with the slanted streets, I was walking. The city gave me the feeling of being brand new but back in the forties or fifties, and again no one in sight and no direction. Sixth, I woke up on a small old pier, and I didn't have any shoes. I got up and started walking towards the shore which kinda had the feeling of being both a festival and marketplace. I also had a backpack. Again I really had no idea where I was going except away from the water, which could've either been a lake or a river. I wanted to head into the crowd, into the bustle but right along the shore it was super busy. Every so often there were sets of stairs heading away from the water but they were always blocked. Seventh had a colonial feel to it with those style homes, although I wasn't dressed for the time. It was a small seaside town, barely started with big sailboats floating by. I was in a home that was under construction, but it kind of looked like the home had more corridors than what it actually needed(all in timbers). I had the urge to climb around the structure, and it actually felt like it was built for that purpose. I keep trying every time I go to sleep to go back to these places, back into those worlds that really deep sleep. Sometimes it happens but not all the time. Every time it does though I try to enjoy it more, longer, see more. A new dream, actually it's a repeat of another one, I am on a really high overpass after having missed the turn I was supposed to take. This really high overpass leads into a little town that is right by the water and I have to figure out how to turn around to get back into going in the right direction. This dream I've had before, or pieces of it, but this time I'm going in the opposite direction already and I noticed that there was some construction or rather demolition. Pieces of the town were missing. One piece especially, a big piece an arena type building to be more precise to be replaced with a giant man made lake. ...
