so ... theres been construction near my house again... namely in the alley exactly 3 feet from my head when i sleep.. massive vehicles slamming concrete at 9 am on saturday... so the rats seem to have moved permanently into the wall ... they still never come in so its ok i guess.
anyhow... i had a dream last night.
i was at burning man, (last year i returned from my BM trip on sept 10) but this time burning man was weird, there were seminars and stuff... anyhow laszlo was there, and alicia... i walked around the "expo area" which was confusing and not like bm at all more like a cross between a museum and an airport... then i walked outside, onto the playa the way i remember it, and ran into some pepople i met at last years, hugged them, with the welcome home salute.. and walked about.. but something was wrong, laszlo, alicia, josh, asdf and zillah and i decided to leave burning man... then we were at a town (not actually any real location) 20 minute drive away, getting some water and such, when one of the construction vehicles in my alley slams something, a loud booming sound... in the dream i see some dust cover the sky high above me... i look back, towards the dessert, towards black rock, and what i see pisses me off.. im not so much firghtened, but more really funcking angry at the injustice... a massive mushroom cloud pluming... i run for the nearest store, the flash hits, i see the hand im pushing the door open with become sunburnt from the flash, and i take refuge inside... then i see women and children pressing to the glass to try to excape the blast, and i wake up.... the first time i didn't make it in a dream...
usually when something irrevocably bad happends in a dream, i dont freak out and wake up.. i usually realize in my dreaming state, "oh im asleep... this is a dream... cool ok the world isnt so bad, everything isnt irrevocably fucked..." then i calm down, and oly then do i wake up. This time, i just woke up scared shitless.
I think this may have been a 9/11 dream... its weird here in the city, people are celebrating it, but in really lame ways... alot of "paegentry" pomp and circumstance, alot of forced artificial sentiment... im fuckin tired of it.
