They Put a Mountain On Top of a Mountain

I’m living with this other dude and at some point he needs money for something so he tries to log into his cash app on my computer but it’s already logged into mine and I’m all:

“Duuude. If you could change that, that’d be cool.”

And he is in fact all cool about it and switches over to his own. But then this odd thing happens where I see his balance and it’s like now I’m the uncool one. I didn’t really want to see that but turning when I was standing right there would have seemed a bit odd too. He didn’t ask me to look away. He doesn’t have much cash and I immediately feel bad for him. Not that I’m rich or anything but there are layers.

“Shit, that sucks.”

I think to myself. This leads to a long sequence with the functional family. The one thing I remember here is the odd but common sensation of living in a dream within a dream. I’m sleeping in what seems like the den/storage room and as always, everyone is cool. If I say I recognized a trend it’s that as time went on, the more obvious it was how many people here were crammed into a small space. And yet? They opened up one of the freest rooms they had for the likes of me and are goddamn happy to do so. That seems to be the theme. Like, I didn’t know that grandkid was living here too…

Anyway, what’s of most significance is that at a certain point I went outside into their garden and it was mag-fucking-nificent. There was this central living coniferous tree with a huge sprout facing skyward that was anchoring the thing as we’re floating in mid-air. It’s like the head of the tree was suspending us in the heavens. A whole gorgeous fantasy city in the sky thing going on. It was a living house powered by the roots of this magic tree.

As I look down the gorgeous rock-strewn valley beneath the floating forest home, I ask the son of the functional family whether or not there are ever light speeders down there. He tells me:

“All the time.”

While he leans in and points exactly where they typically cruise through. He tells me it’s amazing. Shortly after this the strangeness of the experience makes me go lucid and I quite quickly and quite unfortunately lose track of the wonder. 

When I regain consciousness it’s a new scenario. It’s like I’m a cosmic being from outer space that’s supposed to be giving a presentation of sorts. I’m watching this all from an overhead perspective and it does look quite excellent. Space god type action.

Anyway, the only materials I have for this presentation are 4 white brick looking things. Liiiike. What the fuck? Then I’m giving these goddamn awesome looking cosmic slide looking things. Don’t get me wrong, it’s excellent but also, errr. It’s 2025. I need a computer slideshow package of some sort, right? Instead I’m given a projector cannon filled with red sock puppets, which admittedly seems kind of funny. That’s about where the vision cuts out.

I am Spiderman and I’m leading a cadre of other heroes up a succession of floors. We’re are chasing what looks like a black/angular crackling energy portal. Chasing the portal to the top, that’s the game.

Now I’m looking at a shoe shine stand in the hallway of an unspecified building for a sec before the shoe shine man emerges. Who is this dude? Weeeelll, this purple clown looking thing. No face paint or anything, in fact, can I even see its face. I don’t know, it’s dark inside its hood. Very hard to even describe such exemplary weirdness. It had like a flowing almost blow-up looking clown suit with horizontal stripes painted on it. Didn’t really look like a clown, just had a clownlike demeanor. What kind of shoes does this purple cosmic joker shoe shine clown have? Black shoes. That’s the message.

In the next scene I’m flying down into a certain unnamed city with a friend of mine. We’re using our tech to explore this theme park we’re thinking about visiting in this city and getting this amazingly detailed intel. There are two large snow-capped mountains in the park. One is in the northwest corner, the other is on top of this other intentionally natural looking but clearly man-made platform. When my friend learns that this mountain is on top of the platform he’s like:

“No fucking way.”

Whereas I have the exact opposite impression. Holy shit is that awesome they put a mountain on top of a mountain. I obviously have no idea what this actually means in real life but from this peak a bronze upside-down hat that looks like a Monopoly piece slowly falls through the theme park. This is on these huge screens and you know, what the fuck is going on? As the bronze metallic hat continues to fall right near this water and is somehow going underwater it’s really not adding up. Wait a minute, I’m supposed to be in an airplane, right? That was the premise? I’d say I’m disappointed this didn’t make me go lucid but it faded so quick I didn’t really have the time.

There are two fencing afficionados working in a fencing gym in a large city. This one woman with tied up reddish hair goes outside and carves the number 9 into the tan brick wall of an adjacent building with her sword. I then somehow get the impression that they come back and note that the number 9 they carved is still there years later. Even they are surprised by this.

There are several giant people who look almost like teenagers, standing way higher than the skyscrapers in this unidentified city. They create a swirling black energy portal to take care of what they see as the problems at the surface level of the city, which in this situation is at their feet. Except, this solution is not working at all. God only knows what it’s doing. They really thought it would work and it’s hard to even tell if they understand that it isn’t.
