Weird Vignettes.

A handsome man in a blue suit wants to know if I want to watch some movies about dogs. I do so we sit in front of a giant blank screened television waiting for them to start.

There is a game being played that involves a narrow wooden court with a tennis style net in the middle. The players, who are all women as far as I can tell, wear these awesome peach colored outfits with small peach colored helmets and arty fabric wings hanging off their arms. They run a few steps and underhand toss the small round ball specifically so it bounces once before it sails over the net. What happens after that? No idea. What’s the aim of these throws? Not elaborated.

A band is set up on stage in 5 blue boxes, all right next to one another side by side. The boxes are numbered from left to right and honestly I’m not even sure what the purpose is or how they’d all fit on a stage unless the stage was huge.

There is a portal in the ground. It has a sparkly almost diamond looking exterior section with a glowing sparkly diamond energy core in the center. I’m looking at this from directly above.

This is more of a dream and it goes on for a while before I return home from some activity with my brother. As we walk in to our shared high-rise apartment, my brother’s wife is by the window. I think she’s looking out at the view but I’m quickly ushered into the other room so I can’t see what’s going on. I think maybe she was naked or something but then I see all the wrapping paper. Gotcha. She was apparently wrapping my Christmas present, hence the secrecy. I go over to all the wrapping paper and there’s this large gold and blue designed balloon, or wrapping paper accessory? It’s hard to tell but the thing is all about a sword. I look at it wondering if this is some fantasy shit or if it involves the mediocre stoner metal band. This question is never answered.

I have something stuck in my foot and I ask a guy I’m hanging out with to help me with it. He doesn’t really understand what I’m talking about so I look down and pull this thing that was stuck in the side of my foot out by myself. Apparently, I could have just done this the entire time. As I’m walking away I’m in a ridiculous sci fi city and I’m looking at the thing I pulled out of my foot. It’s this I’d say10 inch piece of blackened grass, almost like it was covered in oil. At the tip there’s all this diseased looking fungus.

This all sounds random but honestly, it’s a metaphor for some bullshit I’m dealing with work and a pretty decent one.

I don’t sleep very well at all tonight but in the last hour of my sleep cycle I slip into one of those intense theta wave godmode lucid dream states. I know I’m dreaming and several of these crazy arthouse old school arcade style video game consoles pop out of the ground on the opposite side of the room. I then head over and stair at these surrealist old school button masher style action games play themselves for quite a while, entranced by the fact that I know I’m dreaming. The art is pixelated and intentionally retro, just like the arcade concept but Jesus Christ. I have never seen so many colors. More inhuman than human. And that’s really about it. I lose myself in a lucid trance state of futuristic retro video game strangeness for a spell. Highly recommended.

One more thing. While sober meditating in the morning I’m walking on Market Street in Ballard and there’s this second floor restaurant that’s exterior is covered in tinted windows. It seems very popular, in fact, it’s got it’s own transit system with a stop seemingly just for the joint. Except that the light rail tracks look like bright red metal roller coaster tracks. Wait a minute, there’s no light rail in Ballard I think to myself as I look east at the elevated tracks.

Also, while you're here, do you like psychedelic industrial noise rock? Of course you do!
