AUGUST 2003
August 3
#1: Mark was in my dream, taller than I remember him, yet just as handsome. He had come to see Missy, and would continue to do so. I was afraid of leaving her with him because I knew that he wanted to keep her.
#2: I was living in a house located by the centre lake, right by the area that the ducks like to frequent. I had ordered the construction of a giant playground for Missy that all other children were able to use. A young man, relatively similar in hight to the miniscule Angus from Pick Your Face was a guide for all new visitors. He took each ride to demonstrate how they worked, but ran into a little problem on the slide. It tapered in towards the end and he became lodged within it. It required several large bodyguards to pull him up and release his feet. I knew that if he was unable to go down it, then I was too. However, we knew that it was safe for children to use. I was watching Missy use the rides and she came to one with a great fall, and tripped. However she quickly flung to the entrance of the playground. On closer inspection I found that an Velcro strap had attached itself to her and lowered her to safety, yet there was no logical way of understanding how it came to be there. I decided that I was going to cover all open sections until she was older and able to play by herself. This way I could follow along the bottom and catch her at the bottom of slide.
August 4#1 I dreamt that Maverick was stalking me, though I had no proof to have him stopped. He was using diarist Magic Whiskey to stay with as he watched my every move. To have it seem like what he was doing in my area was legitimate he got a job. However, as was in real life, he kept telling his boss that he had to do something else and left early or did not turn up at all. On the third day of this I overheard his female boss (the fact that she was female seemed important) told him that he had better get his act together and do some work or he’d get fired, so he had to stay. After work ever time that I turned around I could see him following me. Annabelle told me that I was imagining things, but I knew that I was not.
#2 A fitness group decided that I would be the best spokesperson for their campaign and I told them I would, if they gave me some times to lose weight and a treadmill so that it would be easier for me. They agreed and gave me 6 weeks to lose the weight. After that Annabelle and I were standing under the bus stop on the main drag out to Captain Plaza when we saw that across the road there was a group of people holding ropes connected to an air conditioner on a higher floor. They were pulling it from where it was (legally, nothing suspicious) and Annabelle got a little scared and moved back. I didn’t worry because we were away from where it would fall. What I didn’t know was that it would bounce when it hit the ground! I was luckily out of the way of danger and it finally landed at my feet.
August 7
Center City was given no warning of an air attack. I stood, holding Missy as we watched the bombs drop all over the city thinking that we had no chance, when I had an idea. I grabbed Missy, headed to the smallest room that was near by- the toilet. I sat Missy on the ground in front on me, curled her over and used my body to shield her from the blast. I knew that because I was completely enveloping her that she would be safe and they would find her safe and well when they searched the city for survivors. However, because we were in the smallest and safest room in the house and the way that we were crouching, the blast only managed to affect my right arm.
Slowly we joined the rest of the people who had been in bomb free areas join buses and leave town. I came to the logical conclusion that if we were going to be on the bus for so long then we ought to stop and get food. People were a little reluctant at first but they realized that it was the right thing to do. So we stopped, bought food, and I remember M&M’s.
August 9
In this dream I was shopping with Annabelle when I came across 2 of the members of Bodyjar. I told them that I had been a fan for a long time, since their first months in existance actually. They asked me when I first bought the CD and I told them- "I saw Time To Grow Up on the old Thursday night Rage and went and ordered the CD the next day. But because I was in Hellhole it took 2 weeks to get to me." (That is completely true. I DID see them and order them, so I am a long time fan. Don't belittle me.) They became extremely excited and shouting "It was YOU!" They knew that they only played Time To Grow Up on Rage once and the next day someone from Hellhole had ordered it, and that was the reason that the lable decided to keep them on and they became so damn famous. (I wish) I looked at the singer and said "You're not Cam" and he told us how the guitarist was now the only remaining original member of the band. I became irate and said how I thought that it was ridiculous to keep a band going when only one of the founding members was left. And we left so that I could go to a photo shoot. The photo shoot was of a debutant ball with Angelina Jolie as the main feature. However her partner, some other famous cowboy, was a little drunk and not participating well. I began talking to her and we got along famously. The people taking the pictures saw the way that we got along and secretly started taking photos of us, which turned out great because you could see the way in which we got along. And we started dating. Angelina Jolie was my girlfriend, and she decided to move to Centercity. Annabelle and I thought that it would be fun to go shopping in the mall on a Saturday morning and watch the people riot trying to get to her. Somehow I knew that we would be together forever, the only problem was telling my mother.
August 18
#1. I dreamt that I was going to a club with Janet but on the way we stopped at the park. I left my bag sitting on the table with my new passport photos in it and someone stole it. When we got to the club (which was at the university) I saw that the photos had been enlarged and messages written along the bottom such as "Do you think this girl has been in the esky?" I went to the office where I told them that I wanted them removed because I had not given them permission to use them and that I could sue the whole establishment.
When I returned to the party they had been told to close down, but they weren't going to, but they removed the pictures. Townsend was following me around.
#2. I dreamt that I was at the university and Townsend was in a wheel chair. He started talking to me and when I started walking he came with me. I was heading into town to do my laundry, and he said that he needed to do some too. At one point he stopped to changed to a bike because he could use them. When we got to the laundry place he started walking, but with some difficulty. I had less clothes than I thought I had to cleean and then realized that I had nothing to put back on. I kept wandering around the laundry because I could not figure out which ones were the machines, despite having been there hundreds of time. Townsend was walking along the top of the bench when suddenly he startes going the toilet and I realize that he has a disability and had no bladder control, so I just acted like it meant nothing, and that made him- and his dad who was secretly following us- very happy. I knew something would happen between us.
August 23
ONe dream that Mark was in Missy's life. The second dream involved a new discovery that crushed apples could be used in place of batteries to recharge mbile phones, and perhaps many other things. It was an environmental break through!
August 30
I was instructed to write a book with some man, and there was only one condition- the book had to be written backwards. I figured it was obvious that we'd just write the story forward and then let the computer reverse it for us, but he couldn't see that. All I couldn't decide was if it would just be last sentence first (eg: The End) or even the words would be backwards (eg. End The). But I knew that we'd get it.
