Make Your Mark

 I dreampt about a man and woman lying in bed at night.  The woman was sick and it was hot in their ground floor apt in a rundown tenement.  The setting was a slum area with stone streets. The couple had the door open with the screen latched but she woke up during the night sure she heard someone try to force the door. She got up to look out the screen and she saw a man in a hat walking down the lane just outside the lampost light. She watched him step into each doorway and tinker with something before moving on.  She woke again later and though it wasn't dawn, there was too much light outside.  She saw that the city was burning.  The woman woke the man and they ran out of the city up onto a hill.  Later it was revealed that the man in the hat was pretending to be the gas meter inspector but instead of marking down how much gas each family used he was opening the valve and letting the gas fill as many homes as he could.  The man forged the signature of the real workman who couldn't write but used magic calligraphy to mark the paper with stitches in the form of a tiny grasshopper. 

Evil Elves

I was watching a couple stand on the beach and kiss.  In the distance I saw a tidal wave forming. I tried to warn them.  I couldn't get there fast enough or yell loud enough.  I turned to run back up the jetty as they were swept away.  I realized that I was very short, like a hobbit.  At the top of the jetty it connected to a boardwalk and a house I had not seen before.  Trying to escape the water I met a man and woman who I had met at a trade fair before and who I did not like or trust.  I climbed up to the house and met a dark elf who was also the father of the man I had just met while escaping the tidal wave. Although the house was modern, I was wearing more period clothing and the dark elves all had complex costumes.  I already knew something was very wrong but i fainted and woke up later.  I realized that the dark elves were using medical technology to make beautiful slaves. Strange modifications were made to the people to make them slimmer and also not able to eat.  One lady had a modification in her mouth that made foods taste bad. Some of the humans were airline attendants. Which I knew because sometimes the humans would be sent back for upgrades and I could see their uniforms.  It was disgusting and horrifying and I spent a lot of the dream trying not to look at things or here what was going on. The man I met earlier was actually made of some of the dna of the first dark elf I met.  The elves had to keep kidnapping people to get more genes to work with. From the porch I could see them fixing the scene on the beach which was really a trap they created to flood on cue to kidnap more humans. A lot of the experiments they did on people didn't work and they caused a lot of pain or made monsters.  One man was able to change his skin and hair color to make himself camouflage and the elves tormented him by throwing him around so that he had to change over and over. At one point they threw him outside and he looked so much like a dark elf with strange magic that as he changed to suit the grass and trees a light elf spotted him and shot him thinking he was a dark elf or just to put the man out of his misery. 

Inside Out

I dreampt someone told me the door to the storytime room was jammed or stuck so i went to see what was going on. It was an accordion door and it looked like it had been smashed so that it stuck outward into the dept. When I got out it open I found all these thick black theater curtains that went up much higher than a library ceiling. As I pulled them all back I realized I could see the sky and that the track for the curtains was also for a roller coaster. The track was badly bent and warped. I could hear many coasters all on different tracks. When I turned back to the library all i could see was a field that had once been a paved lot so that patches of concrete were interrupted with grass. I called my coworkers into the room that should have bene set up for a big program and we watched the roller coasters crash into the ground one at a time. Later in my dream or maybe before I was at a garage sale and then the garage sale was in my program room so we moved the furniture all around and had this weird craft program and talent show thing.  It was very chaotic.  The garage sale from earlier had been happening in a house down the street but once inside it looked like the store Ollies and there was stuff just stacked everywhere.  i really wanted a specific chair and to look at rugs but no one would help me. I don't know how the sale got into the library.

Someone was trying to break into the house. I kept telling people but one person went back to sleep and one person never came and one just walked away. First I saw him at the back room and as i ran to check all the windows he appeared at each one as if he could get in at any time he was screwing with me. I called 911 but the voice of the dispatcher just got softer and softer. I remember yelling for help over and over but then I just woke up.

Last night I dreampt Sir Ian McKellen was in my basement doing laundry. I offered him a beer in a Harry Potter glass and he said oh well at least the beer is from Michigan.

Luke Skywalker and young Obi Wan Kenobi had a light saber battle in space while free falling from a ship to a hovering city.

October 5, 2017

I dreampt I was at work and a girl asked me to watch her black horse but instead I left my job and rode the horse to the fair.  It was raining and I didn't have shoes.  I helped people clean up and then as people stood around and talked I hugged a man that I thought was my grandfather.  He was so much taller than me that when I put my arms about his waist my head fit under his arm so he could shield me from the rain.

I dreampt we were on vacation and we drove to the beach.  There was a tsunami and I kept being pulled further and further out to sea.  I thought of learning to body surf and how you feel the undertow almost before you see the wave.  A boat came to rescue us but the waves were so high that they came over the deck and we had to hang on the railing. I think I was washed overboard.  I remember rising and falling with the waves and having my back to the shore.  We were rescued and taken to a shelter with ice cream. They had three flavors of ice cream and bowls, cones and waffles bowls .  We didn't want to eat the ice cream because it wasn't soft serve so we couldn't make fun swirls on our ice cream cones.

Later at the shelter I saw a woman and her friend beat a man to death but I took his watch before they could and swore to use it as evidence. I told them they could have the watch but I would only trade for something the woman couldn't bare to be parted from.  She cried a lot but I don't know what she decided.
