Climate Change, apocalypse, refugees, ghost hunt, dermatome, demon hunter, cat squirrel, family values dream

   Dream Diary update. I skipped last month's entry. I had almost decided to abandon this blog. Not only did I not want to remember my dreams but I almost gave up on my prognostications on tumblr. I just had another doozy tho, so I am writing about it here.
   Basically in this dream I was part of a group of young refugees sort of as their sempai. We were living in a community together in another post-apocalyptic society. I think perhaps the global ocean had raised 20 ft and climate change desertification with toxic chemical waste added had reached 76% of the land surface. Africa and the Amazon rain forests was obliterated. We took refuge in a lot of urban jungles. Shopping malls were turned into communal living spaces.
   My job in society wasn't merely as mentor to new refugees. I was as a sort of ghost-killer. I took the dermatome and other instruments that our mentors gave me and I sliced any ghost that I found among the refugees to ribbons, until either they gave up or else their demon brains exploded. It was a grisly job and I had to keep it secret from our social orders.

   Anyway what happened was I got very tired of a slasher horror show happening every time they told me to sneak away at night to battle monsters. I found a ghost among this group of young folks I was transporting. It was a young tall black fellow with almost no hair on his head. I got him to play games with us on the train. He seemed like a nice fellow at first. I asked my spectral superiors if I could just let this one go but they refused. The demon seemed to recognize that I was going to take him down. He created a barrier so that the others could not see us fighting on the train. I beat him and almost had his brain slashed open with my ghostly dermatome when I awoke.
   In real life the cats had brought a squirrel in to my room to eat it. Sticky cat hid given up on his anorexia from yesterday and was happily munching on a leg.  I didn't want to interrupt him, but I don't like them to make big messes in our room. So I picked up the dead squirrel and I set him on the back porch with Sticky cat and a bowl of water. Swirly cat soon followed her brother outside. I think she was the one who had brought the squirrel in to feed her hungry brother cat. nom nom nom

those
[00:44:11]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]

[00:45:04]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
O_O that would get torturous fast
[00:45:13]    
 only they kept changing and these mafia guy kept coming to kill us
[00:46:33]    
in the end i chose life and light instead of darkness and kept arguing with them that they shouldnt kill me
[00:46:54]    
they were members of the cops mafia
[00:47:10]    
you know crooked cops
[00:47:27]    
i was a physician who wanted to save everybody
[00:48:26]    
i kept wanting to kill everybody but if i did that then id be stuck in the time loop forever
[00:49:01]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
weird
[00:49:30]    
so i lengthened the time loop to 3 minutes by trying to save everybody even tho they were intending to kill me
[00:50:24]    
at the end of 3 minutes i had taken 2 bullets and fought them off while explaining why they shouldnt kill me for exposing them
[00:50:48]    
also i saved one of their number who had gone down in the firefight
[00:51:41]    
i was in the corner applying tourniquets and arguing with him when i woke up
[00:54:13]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
that's pretty strange lol the more people you keep from dying the more time you get but you'd need more than a few mins to save them I would think.
[01:02:01]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
I've been mostly dreamless lately, kinda strange really. I had one REALLY funky climate change/dystopia/death related one a couple months ago and can't remember having any after that
[01:10:13]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
I was on wolf creek. The power plant on lake of egypt had become a massive supercomplex of smog spewing factories and other assorted industrial buildings. We were all trapped there; crowds of despondent people lined the water's edge dressed in rags. I went to the end where the cars usually turned around, and this weird robed guy was holding a dead girl. He looked at me and said some weird mumbly stuff, then knelt down next to the water. The girl's body turned to oily sludge and drained into the water. End dream, tho thinking back I wonder if the line of people were those waiting to be transformed and emptied into the lake
[01:10:34]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
it freaked me out a little
[01:10:52]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
same day you told me about those rednecks who shot a circus elephant IIRC
[01:11:08]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
haven't had much since then
[01:11:16]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
lol it's a little morbid sorry
[01:11:51]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
anyway I'm no dream interpreter so can't help you there
[01:16:04]    
oh well i usually have time stop dreams when im mediatating
[01:16:53]    
I suspect it was because I was forcing myself to stay on my left side all night to void rolling on kitties
[01:17:13]    
they come and go from my bed at night you see
[01:17:48]    
When I passed out Sticky was sleeping in front of me while Swirly kept jumping up to tampoline on my bed
 ----------------------------
Addendum:

I said that I was laying on my left side to avoid rolling over onto kittens in bed.In truth I was laying on my RIGHT side. I have to meditate while asleep to stay on my RIGHT side because I favor the left. If I don't do this then I frequently thrash around and damage the wall.

Guest dream post by my naturalist nephew (Dirk Diddly): Climate Change apocalypse in 2100, from Iran to Illinois

   My Naturalist nephew & I have been chatting and meeting more regularly since we attended the Southern Illinois Biodiversity Conference 2 weeks ago. James Hansen retired from NASA last Wednesday to focus around the PR problem of convincing the US public in the polls that climate change matters as an national issue as well as internationally. Most of them apparently consider it even more abstractly than they do the Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty with southeast Asia. Nevertheless it is these two polarizing problems that are seated on either side of the Keystone XL oil pipeline Politics. In order for the US to take part in 21st century Climate Change mitigation and prosecution of corporate eco-criminals, the TPP treaty must fail. And in order for the TPP to succeed, the Canadian tar sands development and other fossil fuel project decisions must not take into account "environmental externalities" the biggest one being Climate Change. They are both competitive and mutually exclusive with one another. Consequently the latest environmental tumblr blog I am looking at is "Neoliberalism-Kills" after the secret terms of the TPP that have Western governments murdering their own future citizens through non-enforcement of environmental crimes. My nephew knows my strong positions on the matter, so that has probably affected his dreams. I wiped my own chat log from Saturday so this is a copy of his chat.

I had another odd dream about us being in weird places last night
[17:14:27]    
We were some years into a future wrecked by climate change
[17:15:08]    
The northeastern US west to Illinois had renamed itself to Iran and had a permenant desert climate
[17:16:01]    
We were walking from Missouri, which was only sl
[11:11:42] >>    ightly less deserted and fucked up, into the new Iran for reasons unknown
[17:16:36]    
We walked many miles, cars were outlawed b/c of their climate change contribution tho we still saw them occasionally driven of course by rich pigs
[17:17:05]    
They had stations set up every 20 miles or so for wayfarers equipped with stagnant water to drink and rudimentary restrooms
[17:17:28]    
We were mostly the only ones on the road, others rarely left their homes
[17:18:05]    
We made it all the way to central illinois or so to an airport where we planned to immigrate to more hospitible country
[17:18:44]    
but when we got there you started walking back and said you'd rather walk back for some reason
[17:19:30]    
end of dream lol
[17:19:52]    
didn't make much sense
[17:20:36]     [oldParasiteSingle - 25.80.239.98]
actually it does kind of
[17:21:17]     [oldParasiteSingle - 25.80.239.98]

[17:22:32]     [oldParasiteSingle - 25.80.239.98]
that means itll be hotter than hell with a snow dump in the winter but almost no rain
[17:23:07]    
huh
[17:23:11]     [oldParasiteSingle - 25.80.239.98]
we will still be able to farm probably with irrigation and aquaculture

[17:25:06]    
IDK I would want to leave if half the country became Iran and turned into a rocky desert wasteland XD

[17:26:36]     [oldParasiteSingle - 25.80.239.98]
It probably will be some ind of no mans land after 2100 but itll be one of the last Middle East countriies to do so

Tarot reading, Killer Whales, freedom, grandmother, Kentucky church, destruction, Climate Change dream

Dream diary update. I know it sounds strange to make a tarot reading in a dream, but that's they only way it happens for me nowadays. I have my decks safely tucked away in the shed. I got tired of having too many dreams about Death and The Devil to practice meditation readings anymore.

   So anyway after another tumultuous night Saturday I fell asleep between 7 pm-10:30 pm, and again from 4 AM-7 AM. As I awoke just before 7 AM this morning (Sunday), a flurry of images from the prior 10 minutes of dreamsleep assailed my consciousness. I immediately turned to my tumblr blog to write about the Hudson Bay killer whales trapped by Climate Change.

   I wrote that I believed now that they were free. The reason I didn't give on tumblr for this fancy was a series of tarot images from my dream. I saw flashes from the Waite deck; "The Sun", "The Moon", "The Stars", and "The World" in conjunction with the ending music from Happy Feet 2, "Under Pressure."

Note that all of the Pixar creatures singing in the number are either whale or orcas food. The meaning of this sequence of trumps preceding "The Stars" suggests that the whale pod are now free together. However, "The World" following "The Stars" suggests that this freedom was achieved through some agency of extinction. Possibly the pod leader, or "grandmother" as Diane Sayer referred to her, sacrificing either herself or other members of the pod for the salvation of All. I believe now that the orcas pod still exists, but that the grandmother leader may have sacrificed herself to save her family from Climate Change disaster. I suspected the same thing as I listened to Diane Sawyer's news read Thursday night, but my dream Tarot reading seemed like confirmation for my suspicians.
   After these images about Climate Change and the lost whales, Next I saw a superposition of Senators Mitch McConnell & Rand Paul together w/ a Kentucky church and the Tarot card "The Tower" reversed. I only found out later that another local church had been destroyed by Climate Change Saturday in Kentucky no doubt somewhat deservedly. KY religious Conservatives have a lot to answer for, not least of which is the actions of their Senators and their coal lobbyists in MountainTop Removal (MTR) pollution murders of children. Since Kentuckians refuse to fund either socialized health care for children or public firefighters, they are lucky no one else was consumed by flames last night. However Kentuckians do fund a lot of Conservative child rapists instead, including murderous school principals and imitation cop-rapists. Remember they are the only state to have murdered a 2010 census worker by public lynching. IMAO They are lucky not to have lost more churches last night.

gender bender, bats, Climate Change, handicap, lost family, love, Goldman Sachs Carnival dreams

Dream diary update. Well I've been putting off making an entry for 8 days now. I find that last week my dreams have become less transformational and violent and more obsessed with things and material objects.Perhaps its because I've grown complacent in my pauper status here? Time and again as I woke up this week my dreams involved going from one novel object to the next until I felt like the only Walmart cashier at a store whose manager installed 2 art galleries and a humor section. Last weekend I had some gender-bender dreams including another homosexual Earth one. Monday and Tuesday my dreams were about dying bats and Climate Change weather again. Wednesday I had dreams about being handicapped or inadequate. Thursday night my dreams became of my nephews. Apparently I was worried about them while going to bed. I was fearful for their future but it translated in my dreams into a disconnected separation fear that I finally overcame early Friday morning around 0600 when I awoke. I barely slept Friday night except for 3 hours before and 2 hours after Classic Arts Showcase. I had dreams then about being in love again though in my dreams Friday I believed that I had forgotten how (I haven't.) Just now I had 3 hours of dreams that were more lighthearted. Sort of a Benny Hill meets Family Guy dream. But there was still a snake in my dream playground as between the laser light shows and circuses I felt a dark secret was being hidden from me. The masters of that place which looked suspiciously like my alma mater wanted to hide the fact that they controlled every aspect of life there while they kept me snake-fascinated with the giant ball of tape and Chewbaccas, dancing girls and mimes. I've been having dreams like this one about a life of being stuck in a delightful but diabolical Carnival of Souls every time I hear how Goldman Sachs officers are making more money. I view them as dreams about being stuck on a treadmill in American Capitalism like those from The Great Gatsby. Unlike Gatsby for his 20th century dreams, I see nothing novel and puissant in 21st century over-consumption but merely a buffoonish waiting game with an unpleasant end for most involved.

Yesterday Reuters wrote that Blankfein had them bonus him with $1M and a total of $14M to himself and a few others. I sort of view those at Goldman now as the Enron that got away with their frauds. Like Enron their company doesn't actually produce anything except more power for the Fed and less for customers and investors..

Pharaoh's architect, Director of Transportation, Climate Change dream

Dream diary update. For 2 days I've had very interesting dreams but I've been unable to recall most of them, which means that my sleep has been fairly long and deep. Around 0230 today I awoke after only sleeping 3 hours so I was able to recall much of the dream. I was Pharaoh's architect and Director of Transportation in ancient/future Egypt/North America. We had buses, trains, planes, automobiles, trucks, and boats. Since I had to ride all the lines by myself I wanted more high-speed rail for convenience. I had to convince Pharaoh that the Gods had sent a period of bad weather that would cause disaster and unrest.

This punishment was because Pharaoh had chosen to stop listening to them and keep polluting the Nile/Mississippi river and killing the Earth. I kept monitoring the flows of our transportation networks and riding them faster and faster. Finally I had had enough of working for Pharaoh so I quit. While walking alone on the beach I looked out to sea. I felt Horus/Osiris call out to my soul in the foam of the waves as I awoke.

Mike Teavee, African tundra, Scottish Highlands, Climate Change premonition

I had an uncomfortable dream this morning. I watched the Tim Burton remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on cable prime time last night.

Just as with the first movie I had a sort of nightmare about Mike Teevee killing people by pulling them out of a giant TV we were watching them with. I ran out of my people and started watching the African tundra and Scottish Highlands. I started to reach for them to pull them from the TV when the power went out. In darkness I looked around the dead giant TV room as I awoke. Fluffy was sleeping with me on the bed. I view this loss of habitat theme as one of my premonitory dream ideas, probably due to the apparent acceleration of Climate Change in the wake of failed talks and hyperconsumption impetus.
