Dreams 1/25


 First dreamt that Mummy and Daddy took me to a fair. They were still setting up when we got there, so there wasn't a lot going on at first. There were some Native Americans, rocks, and crystals. It was around dusk and pretty dusty. I'd found a big tabular twin crystal specimen beneath a pink and white shawl at the bottom of a big wooden crate. The place was really starting to fill up now. Since I didn't see much that interested me I left my parents and went back to find the crystal. I was digging through the crate looking for the crystal when the proprietor of the spot came upon me. He was older with gray hair, a white tee shirt, tan pants, and greasy. He grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go, trying to feel me up, smiling all the while. I was squirming and screaming for help from the old pervert when I woke myself. Then, I fell back into the same dream. Now, I was beyond the dirty old creep, looking for my parents. I thought I was moving towards the front: the hills and the parking lot where we came in. It was really crowded now with sheets separating the different stalls full of rocks and native artifacts from what I can remember. A simple looking blonde fellow caught up with me from behind and gave me three big crystals. He said, "just for being free", but they were heavy, and I told him they would only drag me down. I was already carrying a tapestry tote. The one crystal was nearly big as a basket ball, and the others were about the size of apples. As I looked at them I noticed they all had etchings, so they looked like houses with windows and doors. A painted, feathered native, scantily clad, ran past me. I still couldn't find my parents when I woke and went into the second dream. 

The second dream took place in the forties it seems by the clothing and surroundings. I was working in a grocery store with a younger man in his twenties, the owner's son. We had left the one store and gone to another, his, I think. I remember leaving the store and seeing stuffed animals, an elephant, and a giraffe, maybe, outside the entrance: the last two free gifts for donating to some cause, remaining on a small table covered in a white cloth. The elephant was a wooly charcoal color, and I wanted him. We went into yet another store and there were tables of books at the front like you'd see at a book fair or library sale. The one slim paperback had a black and white picture of a Confederate on the front. I picked it up and told the boy he'd like it. Then, he made a pass at me. I told him I loved him, and he might love me like a mother because I was much too old for him. He was angry, machismo came to mind. Told him it wasn't new: was asked to the prom twice, student teaching, and propositioned many a times while teaching: only one, who had written a note, was still salty with me when I told him I was never desperate enough to go for students. Two, stalked me for twenty years when I finally had to get nasty with them. I was getting bored with him and woke.

Dreams 1/12


 Couple of long indescriptive kinds of dreams:first, I was at some sort of huge craft festival held either outdoors in tents or in a parking lot, maybe both. There was a long table of felted Disney items. Not sure what they were, pillowcases and tea cozies, maybe. There was a big Cheshire Cat head that a young black girl in a soft yellow hat was looking over. I had a companion, I believe, but not sure who she was. I was walking for a long time thinking that there was nothing there worth buying. It was a bust. 

Next, I was in a crowded old-fashioned diner; one of my old students was there. At least, I think he was an old student, know I know him from somewhere: big dark haired boy. Maybe he was just a boy at school I didn't have in class. He was plotting something, all that I know.

Dreams 12/28


 Forgot my first dream which was also a nightmare, but in the second I had a little blonde half sister, guessing she was about seven or eight. We were at the seaside when I saw a shop up to the right beyond the beach grass where I wanted to go, so I grabbed her hand and we went along. The store was bright, and I was rummaging through a bin of stones looking for a gift. There was a garden quartz amulet that I was thinking about stealing when I noticed my sister was gone. I was panicking and started screaming like a Banshee when I woke.

Thanksgiving Weekend

 

This autumn has ranked as one of the most fun ever. My brother and I went down to the creek where I found a load of Turkey Tail mushrooms for a friend. After getting home I made Davey Bird, here, looking dramatic, who Ron has claimed, but I'm working on Jack N. Oph for my brother, now. These are inspired by David Bird's Becorns. My Liverpudlian girlfriend turned me on to them. Today we went on the mine tour in the Lehigh Valley. I got an arrow head and a couple of new crystals in their fun gift shop, one is local quartz. The mining museum was full of amazing art and doll houses. Finally, we went to the Stampede BBQ. It was our first time, but I've had their homemade cider at Apple Fest at Joanna Furnace. I'm a huge fan, it's more the European sort, and my brother said their hand crafted old-fashioned ale was good too. 

The Tully, Mining Museum, BBQ...

The Rock Next Door

I believe the rock next door is magical. For one thing, it sits next to two other rocks, and Shiner and I saw the ghost of a Saber Tooth Lion jump out from under it years ago. At the same time they found a ditch full of them in Australia. Doubt that was an accident. He was bulit like a Pit Bull, only a bit bigger with a large head. The other stone is rectangular, nearly perfectly, and I imagine it to be a grave stone of an ancient chieftain. I do not think the markings on this rock are natural, caused by The Ice Age. I reckon somebody put them there. It could lead to Faery Land for all I know.

Dreams 4/2


I think this is another Stranger Things inspired dream although it lacked the actors. It began in a dark bar during the day, a dive. It must've been the eighties or nineties. The bartender gave me a check for one-hundred-and-twenty-six dollars, and I put it in a cigarette machine to send to my grandmother. The bartender was a dark haired woman who seemed to have it out for me, so I had to get out of there. I found myself in the woods full of gnarly old trees, roots, and caves. Ron was there, and I think somebody else, but can't be sure. This is the part of the dream that is murky, so I have to piece it together. Ron was standing waist high in a damp sink hole. I had a heart shaped rock, much like the chalcedony I'd found beneath the cairn, here. To Ron's right there was wood with indentations. I put my rock in one, then, another, like a puzzle, until it fit. Ron said that was it and added some more wet muddy rocks into the other little nooks.

Dreams 3/15: Nearly Forgotten

Nearly forgot another dream I had last night, but while I was looking for a picture for a friend, I was reminded when I came upon my wonderful chalcedony heart. There used to be a magical pile of boulders with iron, blue, and green quartz just across the street. If I could not fall asleep at night, I'd imagine myself going under the rocks, sometimes Mummy would lead me. They dug them up last spring to put in a condo and pond. I found this and other things in a deep puddle beneath where the stones had been. I also found some fossilized mussels, shells, and coral. This used to be an inland sea. You can tell if you look closely at the  fronds on the pines as they resemble living coral. There was also what looked to be decaying leather, to me, some of it fossilized, and petrified plants and trees. I like to think it was a magical amulet put over the heart of a fallen princess. I should polish it up, gently, as I dreamt I was staring down into a glass display case filled with crystals. A woman in a blue robe with long curly brown hair was standing behind it. In the bottom was a chalcedony, similar to mine, only not so nice or magical. It was, however, polished and sparkling, and I was telling the lady about mine.
