Drift XV. Hello Starry Sky, Howdy Angry Ocean

Dusk and dawn

Location: Old European Style, beautiful antique house, right by the sea

The dream was broken into ridiculous pieces..each with their bizarre implication:

Piece one: the breakup - I was dating, ahem, my dad. Everybody else was grossed out by this, including ourselves. Mom was around us, smiling and appreciating (at least wasn't bothered by) the fact. But dad and I are too different so we decided to break up. I said "think about it, our only future is you and mom have a divorce - and I don't wanna be a child with divorced parents!" his response "fair enough!" It was the easiest breakup ever. [I think this dream happened because: I was reading Hemingway before bed, and dad used to love Hemingway and he kinda resembles the main character in A Farewell to Arms, so I carried the admiration into the dream; my subconscious has also been stressing about the uncertainty of my relationship in reality, which probably has a promising amicable breakup and a dead end]

Piece two: I was with A in N's car, A was flirting with a short-haired blonde girl and doing some nipple twisting. I was simply happy that he's capable of such heavy flirting and the girl seemed to be into him. The scene switched to a picture of C and A both grinning ear to ear at each other, and in the dream I realized that I've already broke up with C. So I sighed and said "oh how I miss your smiles." C walked over, we were suddenly in a ball room, people dancing around us. And he said "I'd love to have you back, what do you think?", his blue eyes looking into my soul. I comfortably rested in the familiar pair of arms, saying I need a little more time. [I think I just really miss C in reality]

Piece three: He found me writing long emails to D, asking if I was cheating on him. I was not, but I did pay too much attention to the emails, and to the elusive person who made me so infatuated. [Every inch of D screams 'danger' to me, as I seem to have found my own soul in another body. I've been obsessed with his travel plans, his guitar, his language, his Shostakovich, Eric Satie, Philip Glass...]

Piece four: I walked out in the night, casually looking up, and saw the most stunning starry night with all colors of stars, milky way, and some recognizable patterns. My jaw dropped, my heart raced, I could not believe my eyes... After a while, when walking past a dock, the ocean began to have some deep turquoise color, some part of it was stormy blue. The color flashes, changes with each rush of wave, like a moving oil painting. The waves grew wilder and wilder with each pulse, and I was thinking to myself: I think I know how to paint the waves now. At the same time I was so afraid because I know it was going to swallow me, yet I cannot help but appreciating the beauty of it. [Oh such a wonderful universe, which my myopic eyes can hardly appreciate enough in reality]

It was absolutely breathtaking.







Drift XIV. The Arrest

A very sunny and hot summer day, morning

Location: A more rustic-looking B-More

I participated in some sort of money laundering, and I knew the cops were coming to me. I ran across floors after floors in the tall building where I worked, trying to escape. But they captured me, right outside a secret emergency exit.

I was taken back to police station, knowing I need to plead. But there seemed to be no way out. I did something wrong, I needed to take the punishment as it is. Do my time.

I probably need to catch up on OITNB in reality...

Drift XIII. Lock the Door Behind You

An early morning

Location: West Baltimore...?

I moved with a friend into a hug apartment complex - beautiful antique style housing, with shared kitchen and living room. Roommates are: 2 Latino guys (they are a cute couple), 1 African American lady with cheerful outlook, 2 other African American guys who like to joke, 1 cool Asian guy who brings girls home a lot. It was the beginning of a new and exciting life!

However, there are 3 doors from front yard to house, and we must always lock them behind (of course I did not know why). One morning I went swimming (without pants, obviously this dream is R-rated). On the way back there were a bunch of people whistling at me and I freaked out. I dashed into our yard, then ran upstairs as fast as I could, completely forgetting about locking the doors behind me!

Next thing I know, they were all inside our building, one is already pounding on our last door, which is merely a screen door for mosquito purpose. Turns out the first floor of our house is the office of a congress woman, and those people are here to protest - sadly, they're not peaceful protestors.

Scared to death, with deep guilt, I saw from my window that futuristic tall robot/buses sent by cops start to push their cars away and trash them. Some people jumped onto one robot/bus to shake it down - but when it fell down, it landed on them, and they were all dead.

I screamed.
