Mad scientist, mystical technology, cat boy, death angel, send in the clowns dreams

   Dream diary update. Perhaps its the wild weather lately? I've been having lots of unusual dreams & interrupted sleeping. Part of it is that one or both of the cats usually accompanies while asleep me in bed or in the living room.
   Friday morning I had a dream about mastering a fiendish technology that could summon mystical power. I wasn't the only one who possessed the tech. It had become quite common in society but I took it to the next level. Many agents were out to get my prized lab experiment setup. After fighting for hours I fooled them by leaving it outside my apartment building hallway sort of hidden out in the open in a communal rooftop garden. I finally reached it after being tortured inside my apartment. I had managed to surprise my torturers, killing them all. I activated my garden lab equipment as the soldiers came running from the stairway. The outside became filled with darkness & thunder as my instrument circuits warmed a green glow. I was getting ready to annihilate them as I awoke.
   Saturday morning I fell asleep with Swirly cat. I dreamed silly dreams about having cat ears and a tail & talking to girls. Sunday morning (today) I fell asleep rocking Swirly cat in the living room recliner. I woke up listening to Classic Arts Showcase on tv & with both cats showering me with affection for spoiling them. CAS was playing Glenn Close singing "Send in the Clowns" again. It had become incorporated into my dream. I dreamed I was an angel of death whose fondest wish was to become something else in place of my eternal vigil. At the end of the dream I got my wish granted from the boss. I was transforming into a clown & I thought at first that they had tricked me into losing my immortality to become a Fool. But then I started laughing and everything became all right again as I awoke.

   The odd thing about this one is that as soon as I awoke, Swirly cat got up from my lap on her hind paws & kissed me on the lips. Then her brother Sticky cat came up behind us & started singing & making happy mewling sounds. I ended up passing out in the rocker again until sunrise.

physical injury, clairvoyance, air walking, controlled lightning, meditation dreams

   Dream diary update. I had some nightmares 2 weeks ago when I had mild back muscle injuries from work & hand scratches from the cat. Lately my dreams have been extremely pleasant as my health improves. I notice that I am losing quite a bit of fat. As my body becomes leaner my serum testosterone goes up so the process is cyclical. It improves my overall mood substantially when I can stay aroused for hours. It also helps my insomnia.
   On Saturday night I had dreams about walking on air. The dreams were quite vivid as I could feel the gusts of air & physical pressure of the cloudy air beneath my tread. Last night (Tuesday) I had dreams about controlling the bolts of lightning shooting out from my fingertips. I awoke this morning in a state of heightened awareness, similar to my remote viewing & prescience meditative trances. As usual in such situations, I felt myself compelled to perform certain specific actions & investigations, though they did not manifest until later in the day. I believe that I have probably been meditating in my sleep, even though I thought I had given up on such religious practices.

Venus superstorm, wild forest critters, lost cat dreams

Well one month has come and gone and its about time for another dream diary entry. I haven't been trying to do anything but keep track of myself & my cats when I wake up. Consequently, I haven't been noting very many details about my dreams upon awakening.
   On Saturday mid-mornings & Wednesday nights I often watch a ton of nature videos. This Wednesday was no exception. So I had many peaceful dreams this past Wednesday night about living with talking critters & forest spirits. These nature dreams were remarkable in their color & clarity, far beyond what is currently offered in VR tech for example. I thought I was really there.
   On Thursday night I dreamed about supertyphoon Haiyan & about the superstorm multivortex that rages perpetually at Venus' south pole. The two are linked in my mind & I am trying to understand why. That is why I am regarding those 2 dreams as Prognostications rather than as dream interpretations. Many real scientific & mathematical discoveries began with vivid drams by brilliant people. Ours is not to understand why.
   Last cat when I came home from visiting the nephews & picnicking at Ferne Clyffe, there were people from the road & the library parking lot next door shining lights into our Backyard Jungle to spot the deer there. It was around 8 pm. Since the deer were there 2 days in a row, I became concerned about the bobcat that dad saw on Thursday coming around again. I don't want to lose another cat after 4 disappeared last year. So after waking up & passing out again after 2 am, I dreamed that Sticky cat was missing and that I couldn't find him. When I awoke again briefly around 7 am, he knocked on my bedroom door & I sat up to let him in. I was very relieved to see him hale and fit.

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

Leap Day William, Nelson Mandela, American oil & gas extractivism, heat wave, Tina Fey, sexy Tango dream

Dream Diary Update. I went to sleep with the door next to my bed open and tv on ABC. I set the fan in the doorway and my leg on top of the fan because I find that it discourages the coons from coming in past me to get the cat food. I doubt I need to elaborate why I have to keep my door ajar with a fan since there is a massive heat wave raging on multiple continents right now. To paraphrase the @nbcnightlynews meteorologist roaming outside in NYC Central Park West, "A lot of Americans I spoke with in the beginning didn't know what a Heat Dome was. Well, They all know it now!" When I woke up I could hear the coon snuffling & grunting around my door near my feet so I closed it.
    I seem to remember waking up once or twice after listening to Jimmy Kimmel's monologue to watch snippets of 30 Rock reruns that ABC puts on late at night. Specifically I watched parts of an episode about Leap Day.  Jim Carrey played a character called Leap Day William.

Right now they have on Classic Arts Showcase (CAS). This German symphony was playing the Tango.



   That background explains some of my dream elements. See, I just dreamed that Nelson Mandela came out of South Africa to hide a scandal for his country, that he secretly longed for revenge against the American Oil & Gas Industry. One of Mandela's more radical followers had hatched a scheme that Tina Fey's character from 30 Rock had foiled & they sent Mandela personally to do some diplomatic damage control.
After Mandela came out and leered at us while spinning yarns to the black tie party, I tangoed with Tina Fey down the street all the way up to my nephews' apartment. Then I woke up listening to Tango music and snuffling coons at my feet. That might explain some of the more surreal elements of my dream, as well as the sexy office Tango bonus I received at the end there.

Black mambas, Fox and scorpion, tuatara lizard, de-extinction dreams

Addendum to the last post. After chatting with nephew I watched Classic Arts Showcase from 3-6 am. Then I passed out watching the Today Show. I dreamed about being trapped in a colony of sustainable living advocates. Eventually their use of new technology grew to be such a burden that I was literally hemmed in by Tech so that I was almost trapped. I was crawling past the Tech on the walls almost like when I went caving in the Grand Canyon, only I could see the sun and sky shining through overhead through the brilliant blue passive solar glass. When you go caving everything is pitch black and night critters are scurrying away from you. Anyway eventually I got some space after the sustainable living colony declined into a lower population. I was able to try out the new genetic modification device. It de-extincted plants and animals. I was trying to resurrect lizards when I brought back a brilliant iridescent green four-legged creature that was dog-sized, venomous and intelligent. It opened its mouth and hissed while shining one of its icy blue eyes at me. I could see a row of sharp fangs. Nevertheless, I tearfully embraced it. It was after the 6th great Mass Extinction Event, so any natural creatures were precious treasures. As I embraced him and we stared at each other he made this evil grin. Then I woke up.
   After waking up I recalled the fact that Nature had rerun their 2010 Black Mamba episode this week. I had several Black Mamba dreams after that, including one where I was performing a veterinary operation on one.

   I also remembered the Aesop parable about the Frog and the Mouse. Of course I remembered it as the African version that I reread more recently in an 1990s anthology of African writers. In that version it was a Fox and a Scorpion

I mused then that the venomous lizard I was embracing in my dream made no move to bite me.
   I was delighted later when I turned on Jeff Corwin's Ocean Mysteries on ABC this AM and found that he was also very excited about these tuatara lizards on Matiu Somes island off the coast of New Zealand. They reminded me very much of my dream-lizard. Corwin also searched out their favorite food the weta insect.

College prep school, black mamba operation, PBS, grandmaw's tipple dreams

   Once again my dreams are a matter for the family chat room late night with my naturalist nephew. I had a dream Wed night about @PBSNature where I was operating on a Black mamba snake. It was a successful operation. Just now my dream was about college academic bureaucracy. Pretty tame stuff. My nephew says that he dreamed about one of my running jokes with him. I'm often referring to "grandmaw's tipple" when I joke with him, the bottles of wine my mother brings home and drinks every night. This week it turned out to be a big gallon jug of red wine. So now my nephew dreams about them. In the chat room this is shortened to "gmas tipple." The link to the @PBSNature episode about Black mambas is here. This chat log is mildly expurgated. I also removed the name of a local politician & family friend who dealt with a plagiarism charge.

never got to bed lol
[02:11:43]    
i just had an odd dream
[02:11:47]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
how's it goin
[02:12:04]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
another one huh
[02:12:17]    
well i have a million of em
[02:12:47]    
i also remember them 80% of the time when i wake up cuz its so fast
[02:13:23]    
anyway in this dream my academic college record was in the toilet again
[02:14:06]    
I took 3 of my journal papers and revised them to turn them in as my own work like I did for my first Master's thesis
[02:14:58]    
a bunch of stuck up college preps met with me and looked at me calmly informing me smugly "That's plagiarism"
[02:15:19]    
even tho my college adviser told me that it isnt
[02:15:55]    
see they are fuckin arbitrary as hell about that "plagiarism" charge
[02:16:09]    
they stick anybody they dont like with that one
[02:16:34]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
IC
[02:16:52]    
for example they tried to say that *local college president* plagiarized his doctorate paper
[02:17:09]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
they make sure to tell you over and over again that it's a big deal and they'll screw you for it, I know that
[02:17:46]    
no evidence, they just somehow proved that he lifted some words from another paper without citing them properly
[02:18:30]    
anyway it was a big deal and he had to pay 3 other professors to read his revised paper
[02:19:12]    
somehow it always means that you pay off the 3 most stuck up asshole professors in the entire college system
[02:19:38]    
that's what a bogus "plagiarism" charge means
[02:19:42]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
as usual it comes down to monnnnneeeeeehhhh I C
[02:19:50]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
The root of all evil
[02:19:52]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
lol
[02:19:54]    
for grad students it means you are kicked off campus
[02:20:14]    
undergrads get suspended for up to 2 years
[02:20:30]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
yeah suspension and all that, that was always at least implied when they talked to me about it
[02:20:52]    
I still think its applied to anyone a professor doesnt like
[02:21:34]    
you know in some cases its like calling the pope a plagiarist because he lifts his best lines from the Bible
[02:21:54]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
sorry about school dreams : ( last thing I'd want to dream about
[02:22:18]    
oh i dream about college shit all the time
[02:22:45]    
considering my entire career was at college or in dead end jobs its a wonder it aint every night
[02:23:26]    
i mean who wants to dream about wiping asses or cleaning grease traps?
[02:23:48]    
so i dream about stuck up assholes in every form
[02:24:14]    
if I had worked at the beach instead then id be dreaming about the beach every night
[02:24:35]    
y ocean sunsets and sea turtles etc
[02:24:39]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
oh I see
[02:25:33]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
difference in dreaming tendencies, I guess. Mine are always at least apparently devoid of real-life context unless I think about it for some of them
[02:25:43]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
weird surreal shit
[02:26:08]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]

[02:26:22]    
well i find it more disturbing that it was a group of 4 black alums who informed me that the plagiarism was going into my academic record
[02:26:32]    
alumni
[02:26:51]    
y space turtles
[02:27:21]

[02:37:05]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
that dream discussion last night must have jump started the dream centers of my brain; finally had another. Gma gave me this bottle of what was ostensibly wine, but tasted more like tropical fruit juice. I proceeded to drift through time and space, and ended up in some far off city full of shoppers. Everyone was trying to sell me shit. I took another swig, and the stuff made me invisible. I therefore hid away from the crowds under a tree, and wondered why I didn't taste any alchohol or feel any related effects. As I looked down at my gut drowsily, my head merged inside of it and I briefly saw nothing but darkness. When I pulled my head out, this big woman was looking worriedly at me holding the bottle of whatever-the-fuck. I wanted it back from her, but she ran off with it.
[02:37:44]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
Not a very long dream
[02:38:11]     [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
Gma doesn't have any mysterious foreign possibly-magical fluids hiding amongst her tipple does she? lol
