Dreams I’ve had; unedited but (for better or worse) not always fully remembered.
We are attending what is probably the worst organized party in history; certainly it’s the worst organized party we’ve ever attended. The party is being hosted in a house that is entirely too large for the man that lives in it — one of those over-paid executives with no kids that still finds it acceptable […]
A terrorist (think Irish Republican Army and not Al-Qaeda) has holed up in the hospital. The weapon he uses is some kind of sub-space brane that seems to fold matter into itself. As a hostage, I witness him calling on the brane — which looks like a misty pink cloud — to unfurl itself from […]
Post-apocalyptic. Landscape is overrun with forests; thick, chocking forests. What left of us all fit on a train. We live on this train. We must keep it moving or else perish. No one knows what lives out there in those woods. We rarely stop; we cannot afford to stop. When we do stop it is […]
I’m sitting in an IT office surrounded by computers and monitors and peripherals &c. when she comes in. She looks like an extra The Maltese Falcon, all skirtsuit, scarf, and sweater. The only thing that she is missing is the hat. She starts rifling through the items in the office, building a computer more/less right […]
A. and I return to our car, going home from a dinner party. We get into the car. I’m driving. The car is parallel parked and the street is slick and a light rain is coming down. I maneuver the car out of its space but the car gets stuck in reverse. I try to […]
I’m golfing with D.J., D.P., and my brother J. The country club is crowded. But it’s also indoors. The terrain is varied as one would expect: little hills, sand traps, scrubby woods, water hazards. But this whole course is under the kind of ceiling that you’d find at a grocery store or a warehouse. We […]
They’re throwing a birthday party for me at… RiRa? It’s a big party. The staff has shoved together a bunch of tables to make a huge square table that probably seats at least twenty. And we’re still overflowing into side tables. I work my way around the table, saying hello to everyone, shaking hands. There […]
While I was in the living room, A. rearranges all of the furniture in the house. She swaps H.’s bedroom with ours, puts everything into new and impossible configurations, and then when my back is turned, she does the same thing in the living room. I ask what motivated this and she explains that it […]
It’s some kind of All Wrangler Congress or Extended Family Reunion. Everyone is there, plus some “new recruits” or “applicants” or whatever you might want to call new friends. We’re all in some kind beach house. You can hear the ocean in the far background. I’ve woken up and stumbled into the kitchen to find […]
We’re headed out into the country on a drive; the idea is to find this obscure camping site. We have directions but they are vague and the roads do not match up with them and many of the landmarks are missing and many of the street signs are covered with mud. David Sedaris is at […]
