Three days ago I woke from a dream my ex-boyfriend had an adorable tiny blonde girlfriend with whom he had an adorable tiny blonde girlchild. He looked happy and responsible. It was nice.
Two days ago I woke from a dream I was standing in a crowded field with Mike, Miles and Katie. I noticed a strange ripple in the sky and suddenly the air was full of low helicopters. They were shouting to us over a loud speaker to get down and that we needed to be checked for radiation. In the middle of the crowd there was a man who was still standing. He had some kind of hand held device that he used to scan the people around him. It made weird beeping noises for everyone, including Mike and Katie, but when he got to me and Miles it made no sound. We were pulled out of the crowd and taken to a room where we were re-scanned. Everyone nodded, we were herded out of the room and told to walk to a helicopter. We walked past Mike and Katie, they were both shouting for us and wondering what was happening. We were not allowed to say goodbye, we were just whisked off without explanation. I woke up sweating. It scared the shit out of me.
This morning I woke from a dream that I was about 10, walking home from school with my cousin Kathy. We passed this old building that had a weird Dr. Suess looking facade and I wanted a picture of it really bad. The sun was just starting to go down and the way the light was hitting it was just breathtaking. I couldn't get my camera function to open on my phone and I was frantic that I was going to lose my golden moment. As I was fumbling I looked up to see that my cousin had walked on and was now just a tiny dot on the horizon. Suddenly the sky went fantastic, giant white billowy clouds over the Detroit skyline, with the light just shooting through in a breathtaking way. I was fumbling with my camera again, frustrated that no matter how many pictures I tried to take, none of them ever captured what it looked like in real life. Night started to settle in and I knew I had a long walk ahead of me if I was going to make it to Hamtramck on foot. I was on a regular, well marked path that suddenly turned claustrophobic and hard to follow. It was like one of those built up walkways leading out over a swamp, hemmed in By sharp razor grass. I was getting scared and about to turn around. It was dark, there were loud bugs and frogs all around. I saw a creepy man coming and crawled under the walkway and curled up on a beam to wait it out. He paused above me and announced that it was time to irradiate and then he chuckled and I could feel a weird buzzing through my whole body. He was trying to flush me out and I was trying to take it, silently. The body buzz got stronger, almost paralyzing. I could still feel it when I woke up. It felt like the electro-stim I used to get from my chiropractor. It was weird, but I remember thinking, "Ha ha bastard, joke's on you, I can crank that shit up to 10 and not fall off the beam."
