no go on the mojo

Dreamcatchers aren't allowed in my house. I love to dream. I sometimes think I'd rather live in my dream universe than in the 'real' one.

My dreams are very vivid. I've heard in the past that people rarely dream in color. I dream in color, do you?

What are dreams? I think they are a peek into an alternate universe. I can't explain it, but I don't believe the images that float before me in my sleep are any less real than the ones I see when I'm awake.

I often dream about cities. In my dreams the cities are large, complex, and dark. The roads are more like rollercoasters than highways. Pollution abounds and machines outnumber nature.

Last night I dreamed Steve and I traveled to an alternate Las Vegas. I have these dreams often and I'm usually accompanied in them by my wife or a friend. We are always travelling to new cities to explore.

In my dreams, we always travel by plane and the airports are always futuristic. The planes seat about 5000 and every floor is a moving sidewalk. Every wall is made of glass.

There are always restaurants with double doors with round windows in them. They swing open to cheap buffets with tasteless food and nursing home muzac pumps through the walls.

The last place you ever want to go in my dreams is into a bathroom. The walls, floors and toilet seats are always covered with piss and the toilets are overflowing and broken. There are no walls or privacy and the bathrooms are always crowded with men who try just a little too much to look straight. The smell is always suffocating. If you try to leave the bathroom, you end up walking into another one even worse. Instead of piss on the walls, it's feces everywhere. The only TRUE way out of this dream is to wake up.

When I fall asleep again, I'm back on the city streets. The buildings are incredibly large, the lights make Vegas look dull, and there are monstrous people everywhere.

You can never stay long in these cities. Before you can get your bearings, it's always time to get back on the plane to fly somewhere else.
