dream was about something, then suddenly it turned into a broadcasted speech by george bush. it sounded so realistic, as if big speakers were interrupting every tv program, and radio, and broadcasting through neighborhood loud speakers. it was a speech about how we were at war, and it sounded so sooooo realistic to me it was scary. then i could hear the airplanes, and bombs dropping and exploding on the ground. i could feel the ground shaking from the explosions. totally friggen scary.

i got a letter from nate, that was a greeting card he had written in. he didn’t write much at all. just that he’s been so busy with peace corps stuff. i got mad because he couldn’t bother to write me a real letter.
i was driving down river road, apparently home from work. i was going to turn on to felton but a train started coming but the gates were broken and didn’t go down. i saw the train so i was ok, but other people didn’t see it, and turned and almost got hit by the train. so the train went by, and then the gates went down because another train was coming. so i waited for the 2nd train to come. then this other train started coming from down felton, where there are no tracks. the train decided it was going to take the street cuz the tracks were so congested around where we were. so the train is driving down the street right toward me, but i managed to back up my car and avoid getting hit. i figured there’d be no more trains, but now there was another one coming. at this point another train started coming from the other direction and they were going to collide. jeff was there, along with other faceless people from work, and we all realize what is going to happen so we start running the opposite way so when the chemical tanker cars explode we will be safe. the trains collide, and jeff threw me down against a chainlink fence, and protected me with his body cuz he’s like 4 times my size. the trains explode. then suddenly me and adr and eric were on an airplane, fleeing from the train accident, and the plane had to keep landing and taking off at different airports. we landed in carson city, and then ended up in some canadian airport where we finally got off the plane. then we realized our plane had crashed at the airport, that we didn’t land. so we escaped from the plane, as it slowly sank into the lake we landed in. so we were all saved and went into the airport and watched the drama unfold on tv. then pieces of the airplane started floating towards where we were sitting on the bank of the lake, which was lined in cement like a pool, inside the airport. so i grabbed a piece of the plane as a souvenir of surviving the crash. it said american airlines on it. i took it home and showed my dad. it was made out of styrofome. i was severly traumatized by the train and plane crashes, so i was a bit of a basket case.

a dream within a dream. sometimes the point of view was from me as an omnicient narrator, other times it was through the “main character” some guy. i was watching from above, groups of people on tours of the grand canyon. it might not have been THE grand canyon, but it was some kind of canyon out there in the south west, where they have those weird rock formations. it was more like the groups were exploring, instead of tours, because they had to build things to get across gaps and stuff. it was like watching a SIMS game. one of the groups met with another group and they decided to join into one group. i guess that was surprising because these were supposed to be competeing, or enemy groups. then i was in the action, seeing through the point of view of a man. his wife fell and broke her leg and wouldn’t be able to continue. something about this exploration was really important, because she said to leave her there to die instead of hindering the rest of the group. so they did, and the guy married this other woman from the group. they met up with another group, who this time was more of an enemy. there was sort of a clash, and everyone disappeared except for the man and his new wife. then his new wife morphed into a sort of spider with only 2 legs. she was coming closer and closer to him to push him off the edge of the cliff. she pushes him off the edge, and then remorphs into a person as he’s falling. he lands in bushes and trees in the bottom of the cliff. she appears down there in human form. then some indian cheif shows up. the man does something to the woman, and she dislocates her knee so she can’t go after the man. since the man survived the fall, the indian cheif asks if that means the curse is over, since apparently the man did what he had to do to lift the curse that was on him. so apparently, the curse was over. then the woman turned into a man, and was still trying to get the main character man. but the knee was dislocated entirely from the body, and he/she was trying to put it back in place. then his skin started melting off his bones, so now he was a skeleton with like, melted flesh hanging off his bones, still going after the man. the main character man and indian cheif go running off and escape the melting skeleton. they end up passing the spot where his first wife stopped to die. she’s still alive but in alot of pain cuz of her broken leg. when she sees her husband she asks if this means the curse is over. apparently she didn’t think she’d see him again unless the curse was over. so he says yes it’s over, and tries to start moving her to get her back to camp or wherever, and medical help. by then the melting skeleton has caught up with them, and is coming towards them.
then i “woke up” and thought that’d be a great idea for a novel, so i start writing the novel, and i’m working so hard in some sort of public place that everyone keeps stopping by and asking me what i’m writing about.then i woke up for real. i really can’t remember alot of the dream, there was more to it, and it was way scarier. the melting skin on the skeleton was hella scary.

my teeth were infected, and my gums were swollen so bad they swelled around my teeth. they were really painful and then started gushing blood. then my bottom teeth got the same disease. so i was in pain and i had to catch this witch or something, who was casting spells on people. but i wanted to find medicine for my teeth, so i went to the grocery store and they didn’t have what i needed. turned out tony had the medicine i needed, so i went to find him and get it. he didn’t want to give it to me but i stole it from him. they were big round pink discs that looked like chewable pepto bismol tablets. there were 4 of them. the first one i had to chew and swallow, the 2nd one 4 hours later i had to swallow whole. but they were so big i didn’t know how i was going to be able to swallow it. the meds helped my teeth problem but they were still painful and bleeding.

i bought a david bowie poster and hung it on my wall in my bedroom. after that, i was somewhere, and i met david bowie. somehow he ended up at my house, which was really big but sorta run down. he was staying with me, and had gone out for the day, when i realized he had autographed my poster of him without me even having to ask. so i was all excited to see that. then i realized he had gotten the eurythmics to sign it as well, because they had toured with him when that poster was released. i was so excited and showing everyone the autograph. then bowie was my boyfriend, and we lived in this big giant house, that could turn into a disco with all kinds of lights and loud music and stuff. so we were having a party, and i was still overexcited about the autographed poster, even tho bowie was now my boyfriend. i guess it was the next day, and the house was back to normal but david and i were getting sick. then all these canadians showed up, with mullets. so we were half making fun of the mullets when they started to switch all the lights on themselves to start a party. they didn’t care that me and david were sick. i was super pissed off, and trying to find david because he’d comfort me, and try to get all these people kicked out. i was having a hard time finding him because the lights were making me woosy, and i kept falling/almost passing out. so i fell and someone caught me and put me under a table to rest. somehow i ended up finding david, and he was wearing this flourescent green and orange jump suit, which it turns out, i was wearing too. so he was helping me walk, and trying to get to where we could turn the lights out and kick everyone out. we wondered where all the security was, but we couldn’t find any. we went to one of the bars where this big scary black guy worked as a bartender for us, to ask him to start kicking everyone out. he through someone into the side of our indoor above ground swimming pool. the side of the pool had like a doggy door, that was a trap, so he through the guy through there, and into the pool, then we flushed the pool as if it was a toilet to get rid of people.
