Float Dissolve

This dream was pervaded with violence. It started in a bookstore/coffee shop. This guy I’ve seen around town in Manassas for the past couple years was sitting in a corner. He started yelling at me and I yelled back. I was standing in line and suddenly, I guess one of the guy’s friends, came up to me and started threatening me. It was more annoying than intimidating. I pushed him over and he became very mad. I realized I was with Robert and we both left.

I was in a house and this band was playing (actually multiple bands were playing at the same time). I was sitting in a room with Davey and one of the bands was all sitting around a table. Either Davey or I made a comment that they sounded like a certain band. One of the band members became very very angry. He left. Everyone was sort of shocked by his reaction. I went outside and realized he was coming back in some kind of MECH suit. He started firing missiles at the building and everyone. I ran inside and made my way upstairs amidst all the panic. Upstairs some people were relaxing and watching television. The sounds of killing were heard downstairs. I told the people in the room what was going on, they weren’t too concerned. I climbed out the window and hung onto the brick sill so I could move to the townhouse next door. When I reached over one of the bricks was loose and I almost lost my grip. I let the brick fall (I distinctly felt the texture of the bricks, things became very vivid at this point) and move over to the next house where everything was normal and a party was going on. I went up on the roof and Connie was there with some friends, she gave me a big hug then sort of stopped, realizing she was there with her girlfriend. I said hi to everyone.

I had a fascinating dream this morning. I would have remembered much more if I would take my pursuit as an oneironaut seriously (read: at all).

A few blurry aspects that I was able to bring back with me:

The image of my ex-girlfriend sitting on a porch talking with me. She was terribly wrinkled and tanned like someone who has been smoking all their life. Her voice was very coarse for apparently the same reason. I can’t remember at all what we were talking about. The interesting part was her face kept going in and out of focus and at one point her skin smoothed out and she looked young again. It kept changing.

I was in the backyard of a house and I believe there was a pool. There was something like a party going on. Various people from my past kept showing up.

My favorite part was when I mentioned to someone that women used to be able to fly. That a long time ago it was a very normal occurence for women to fly but due to societal pressure they gradually stopped doing it until everyone forgot that they had this ability. At that moment an anonymous character lifted herself off the ground.

In other news the office might be getting Thai for lunch today. That makes me smile.
