Dream Diary


The sleeping mind acts without reason.
The waking mind is suppressed and pasteurized while the sleeping mind roams the mindscape.
The sleeping mind is bound to the mast of a great ship while the waking mind steers the waters.
Cannibalism
6/25/2023
A floating head with an enormous nose and two black eyes is hiding behind a corner.
It says:
"It's not cannibalism if they aren't people"
"Hall of Human Freaks"
6/05/2023
I am inside a university or a museum.
People are studying in dark rooms.
I am with a man I know, but I do not remember who he is.
We find an enormous fish tank that extends to the cieling. A staircase spirals up its side.
We go up the stairs and see a man swimming inside the tank wearing scuba gear.
He is with a manatee with very thick skin.
The man taps the glass.
A think blue feeler emerges from his right dive suit leg.
He motions to us with hand gestures and I know he wants us to go down to the first floor
so he can put the feeler into a clear pipe and have it race us up the stairs.
We nod.
I run up the stairs as fast as possible, and the man who was inside the tank is now standing ouside of it, dripping wet, and his blue feeler sliding out of the tank.
"You've won!"
"Thanks!"
The man I was with does not rejoin me.
I start to get nervous.
"Well... you've won as well!"
He raises an eyebrow.
"You're the very first person to ruin my life!"
In the shock of the statement, I leap down the entire first flight of stairs, crashing into the wall and ricocheting into the second floor lobby.
I retrace my steps from earlier in the dream, flipping on lights revealing room-fulls of students studying. I apologize hastily and continue until I’ve nearly made a loop back to the tank.
Inborn Tonsillitis Pedipalpular Reflex
5/27/2023
I open an anatomy textbook titled "Human Anatomy : For the Color Blind!"
I find a section about tonsils.
The book goes into heavy detail about a well known aspect of human anatomy, wherein the tonsils act as a near-completely-autonomous entity within the pharynx.
Their shape reminds me of the forelimbs of a praying mantis.
There are many cutaway diagram on the page of the tonsils within and outside of the nasal cavity.
I have attempted to recreate some of them to the best of my ability.
Tooth
3/30/2023
Woman successfully convinces me that all teeth are actually just one tooth with ridges in it.
Earth Witness
3/25/2023
I wake up and go leave my room for a piss.
The bathroom is completely different than what I'm used to.
There is a naked woman by the far wall that has fallen over on the slick tile.
She is laughing very loudly.
All along the right wall are men in their night clothes using a line of urinals.
Their faces are very red.
I decide I cannot go and find an exit that isn't the one I came in through.
I enter an ornately decorated room with enormous windows.
Despite this, it is very sparsely decorated, only with a bench on one wall.

I take a seat and am instatly crushed by an extremely large man.
He is laughing and I can see the windows from under his form.
The space beyond the window warps and becomes a forest.
"Do you like the forest?!" he yells at me.
"NO"
"What about the tundra?"
"NO, I HATE IT, I HATE IT"
I am incredibly congested and the force of my voice causes a coughing fit.
I hack up a wad of phlegm.
Confessor Under Pressure
1/4/2023
A gray city expanse is miles beneath me.
I stand on black-speckled scrap metal floating in the air.
I am running. I can hear a man’s voice.
He is confessing his love to a man who has forgotten him.
I do not know either man.
Lemon Juice
12/24/2022
Remember lemons?
I cannot remember this
Ah, use a lemon
Clolcloclo
11/26/2022
Self-worth is defined
by the red parasite
protruding from the back
of your dog.
A Friend I Do Not Know
11/22/2022
Under an electrical grid.
Laughing voices from above.
I run home.
A friend I do not know stops by for dinner.
Mechanical Cows
11/11/2022
Outdoor arcade.
Distant machines dinging and clanking.
Family is somewhere nearby.
I am admiring mechanical cows through arcade stalls.
Kind of like those fortune teller booths.
Some are puppets.
My sister comes up to me and tells me how difficult the cows are.
She leaves, and my mom starts showing me baby pictures of my sister.
Suddenly, she is holding a year-old version of my sister.
She hands her to me and I lift her up to show her the cows.
She starts petting them.
She seems happy.
Scorpion House
10/10/2022
The world is pink.
Black fog is everywhere.
Buidlings are jagged and shiny.
I am being chased by a scorpion and his friend.
I hide in a pink house until a woman smashes a window and finds me.
Mechanical Catfish
6/19/2022
There is a man with a wide-brimmed hat riding a brown horse.
I follow him up a hill.
At the top there are the stone ruins which he lives.
In the middle of a cleared spot is a bright kiddie pool.
Inside slosh two mechanical catfish, swimming in circles, following one another.
The man tells me that he isn't good at catching fish, so he made his own.
Live Eyes
9/7/2020
Ancient ruins surround me and dry grass springs up between the cobblestone.
There are two giant robed statues.
I cannot look up at them, though I am straining my neck trying.
I move towards them.
Suddenly the force upon my head is lifted and my head swings upward.
I am immidately jolted awake when I see that both statues have real human eyes.
They dart around and look down at me.
Don't Shoot
8/22/2020
I'm in a dark neighborhood.
Light is scattered by trees obscuring lampposts.
There is an old house.
In its window, I see a sickly yellow face. It's eyes are enormous and watery.
It's hands are held up to the glass.
I see a police officer looking for the creature and I yell and point at it through the glass.
The creature does not move, but it's face shifts to one that is unmistakably human.
It's eyes are small, but look just as sad.
The officer starts towards the house and I feel my leg break, though I have not moved.
I scream for help and the officer backs away from the house and towards me.
They don't know what to do.
I lay on the ground, crying.
I look up at the creature who is looking at me, still sad.
"Shoot me!" I gasp.
The police officer looks scared.
"SHOOT ME!"
I lunge towards the officer and everything goes black.
Book
4/9/2020
I open a book.
The first page has an illustration of an obese man and the text is something about fleas.
The second page has an illustration of a bandaged finger with flowers atop it. The text is about mending something.
The third page is a black infinity symbol.
The fourth page is a crude portrait of a man upside-down.
I turn the page and my ears start ringing.
The sixth page has a black and white photograph of a man with abnormally large bloodshot eyes.
Look at Me
6/23/2019
I'm walking down a mall with a crowd of people along with my sister and mom.
They are discussing how they are going to eat lunch and then go to the water park.
I realize I've forgotten my lunch in the car.
They tell me to get it while they go to the house quickly.
I run to the parking lot by the water park, and remember we rented a car and don't remember what it looks like.
I call my mom and she sounds tired.
She starts slurring her words and mixes them together until she's speaking complete nonsense.
I'm looking around when I see my mom and my sister walking to the water park.
I'm still on the phone with my mom, but she doesn't have a phone in her hand.
Whoever was on the phone with me was still talking.
I sprint to my mom and sister.
Still with the phone pressed to my ear, I tell them there is something in our house.
We search the whole house and find nothing.
Later that day, I am using the toilet.
Sitting down, I hear a voice from the water beneath me.
"Look at me"
I do not.
I leave and the issue goes unresolved for weeks.
Eventually, my mom cracked and took a peek at whatever was in the toilet.
She was gone.
Apoplexy Room
4/25/2019
I'm being carried into a room at the end of a long hallway.
There were three people in the room and I am handed to two of them.
I can hear them whispering about apoplexy under their breath.
I didn't know what that meant so I asked them, but they didn't tell me.
The two people carry me into a new room and I ask them to let me go.
They gave me a weird look and I told them I wanted to find a dictionary.
They let me look for one.
I find a boy in the hall and I ask him if he knows where I can find a dictionary.
He said he did and showed me a closet.
He pulled out a plant, a stool, a jug, and handed them to me.
He told me all of them were dictionaries.
