so much despair in my dreams last night:
1. there was a large, shallow aquarium with no lid. it was on the top of a table at a museum. it was a saltwater set-up with anemones, live rock, starfish, and crustaceans. it was very beautiful. i was looking down inside of it from the top. there was an egg on the bottom that was halfway cracked open. i could see a little naked baby bird inside. it was very premature, but i knew it was alive because it was moving, struggling to break away from what was left of the yolk. i was trying to take a picture of it with my digital camera, but every time i got close enough, a big lobster started climbing out of the tank and attacking me. i didn't want the little baby bird to drown, but i felt that there was nothing i could do. i just wanted to take its picture before it got destroyed.
i was having problems getting good photos through the water, so i decided to look at the instruction manual for my camera. i couldn't find it, and the museum started to close for the night. the man who worked there was trying to get me to leave, but i didn't want to go because i was sure the baby bird would be dead by the next day. i told him i was looking for the instruction booklet for my camera, and that i could not leave without it. he handed it to me, but it was for a different model of camera. i pointed this out to him and he said it was mine. we argued back and forth for a minute and he kept insisting that he had given me the right set of instructions. finally i gave up and left, knowing i'd never see the poor baby bird again.
2. charley and i were at my paternal grandfather's house in augusta. it was several hundred years into the future, and all the neighbors were gone. there was a big, dilapidated barn in the backyard. i was supposed to make my way through the yard to be with the rest of the family on the other side of the barn, but there was electric fence all over in some sort of a maze pattern, and the fencing was very hard to see. i felt that no matter which direction i turned, i would walk into the fence and get electrocuted. i was afraid for charley too, but he seemed to be able to get around better than i. i wanted him to stay with me, but he was running around the yard by himself. my aunts and uncles kept telling me that i had to just run through the fence and get it over with. they said it would only hurt for a second. i wanted to be with them at first. then, once i realized they weren't going to help me, i just wanted to leave. i looked all around me and the rest of the world was black as far as i could see. there was nowhere to go.
