An entry from my dream journal that I keep:
Thurs. 4am-4:19pm 9/26/03
Last dream I had, I saw Neil Gaiman's house on a hill, which was very nice, and looked around at the bottom of the hill where
the street ended and saw that the other houses were newer and not as nice. There was a path leading up to it, and a slide.
I climbed up the slide part of the slide and jumped back onto the path. I was singing some song while I was hopping up the place
because I didn't realize he was on his porch when I got up there. He seemed alot older, and was really grumpy and told me to
shut up. He didn't appreciate me going up there. He started whistling a pirate song, and then the winds pick up alot
and I floated a bit and then blew around in the air. Which he told me to stop doing also. His son came out which looked alot
like him and was much nicer and asked if I wanted to go play snes. He was about the same age as me. A little younger. I said
"I expected Neil to be more like you, and a little like him." Neil laughed, and went back to writting or thinking, or whatever.
I followed him inside and up the stairs where a little boy with an owie on his forehead was hanging around the top starting
to come down, he had a brother, maybe a twin who gave him a little push, but it wasn't enough to make him fall.
Then there was a hall to the right, which we didn't go down, we proceeded through the kitchen where his wife was entering from
the other side. She had short, dark hair, and was talking to one of her other kids. We went through to the living room and
sat down and picked up N64 controllers. I asked him if he had an emulator, and if he did we could play over the internet.
He asked, "Right now?", and I said "No, later, when I'm at home. But for N64 it's not so good, because it's alot more
complicated for them to make the roms. But we can play snes games." The other kids were looking through the collection of old
games, but were bored of them all, even the newest one which was some monty python game. So they go ask their dad if we can
go into town and rent a new game. He says after dinner. So we have a picnic out side, and we decide to go dreaming, and
whoever the first one to realize it's a dream wins. So we all enter the same dream, and after awhile, I'm the first to realize
it, and wake up, and everyone else, and we're not having a fancy picnic in the daytime, we're having dinner on the porch, at
nighttime. So, afterwards, they ask again about renting a game, and he says yes, so they all run to go get in the car, which one
of them will drive, 3 of them have cars, or two, I don't rememeber. I get a bit worried that they might crash, and look at Neil
and ask if I should drive, and he agrees. By the time we started dinner, he'd been nicer, and younger. He told me I was welcome
there anytime, also. I go and we all pile into the van as I wonder how all those kids would have fit in one of those cars.
We get a game, and one of the older sons points out the strip club across the street. I look at my cell phone and notice it has more bars than ever, it reaches across the whole screen. They said all phones do that. I drive back and it's late so I say we'll have to play some other time, so I walk
into the room where the front door leads to, and I find Neil's cell phone, and it's really cool looking, so I pick it up
and it asks me for a password, which was the name of one of his kids. I put it down and walked into his office where his
wife, him, and some guy on the computer was. They had a file with a few papers in it. He was pulling all the info he could find
about me. He asked about my past alcohol problem(that I've never had). I asked him what he was talking about and he said that once
when I was 18 my mom found 2 boones bottles in my room. I asked him if he even knew what boones was. We argued a bit, and he
said that he wanted me to sign something saying I won't go near him or any of his family again. I told him to fuck off, and
refused. I told him he could take me to court and look like an ass.
So, that sucked at the end. Odd, all day today I kept feeling like I had really been there. I'm playing my third game of Risk this week. So far undefeated, but now it's hard to tell. I'm in the lead, but people are all ganging up on me so I don't win yet again, and turning in their cards getting 40 armies. I've made a deal with my brother, he's got the east and me the west, and mom the north(though I'm invading) and my step-dad the south, and south east. The parents decided to go against me early in the game so my brother winked at me and we're agreed. My brother's awesome. I love him a lot. My sister and I have gone through so much shit together, and were very close, but once we were out of danger and she felt safe again, she started to go her seperate way. Which is fine, but she felt that she had to direct all of her negative energy at me to do it. And the strange part is, she thought I was the one who drifted from her. That saddens me. Anyway, my brother is 13, but very mature and intelligent. I'll put a picture of him in my gallery soon. I just took one of him sitting on a giant pumpkin.
