2025-06-05: Omen of Asshole
The local Sheriff's department requested that a computer system be installed on a small tree for surveillance purposes. This tree happened to be outside my bedroom window (of my Dad's house).
I went onsite to install the tiny computer, but as I did, a large storm developed and began to engulf the house and surrounding area. I was greeted by my grand-boss, and he said that there was a large bird that was scaring my stepmother near the house. I completed my work and made my way back to the house.
Now inside, I walked toward the front door and as I looked through the door's window, I see a porch and walkway, a black backdrop, bathed in yellow light from the single bulb that is affixed to the front of the house. Sitting on a branch near the door was a large vulture.
I flipped it off and called it an "omen of asshole"—this seems to be a reference to the Inn of Ill Omen, a location from the 2006 game TES IV: Oblivion—as I flipped him off, the bird turned to me and raised out an arm from beneath his tucked wings, then he proceeded to flip me off. The arm moved in a jerking, inhuman manner.

2024-06-20: The Cloak and the Offering
"Shouldn't you behave yourself? The decisions you make now affect changes that always beget change." Susan said with a hint of motherly concern.
When her words dried up, I gathered my offering in a plastic Tupperware and crawled out of the muddy crawl space.
The house had a foundation of stones held together with an old mortar and seem to not have aged since the day they were assembled.
On my feet, I walk with Susan to the circle.
Eight cloaked figures sat facing each other in total silence, except for one. My sponsor turned from the others and faced me. The blood-red cowl and cape completely concealed her. Even the hole where her face should be was just a black void, that seemed to absorb all the light that reflected off of me.
I approached the circle, sat in the grass, and tightly grasped my plastic container. Another red-cloaked figure began the ceremony and made a short speech. Then came my turn to address the circle.
2024-03-09: Parliament Car
I dreamt I was at a gas station and the cutest little car parked at the pump next to me. It was a small, Soviet-looking car that was painted to look like a pack of Parliament Lights! It was boxy / rectangular and it felt like it was half the size of a Smart Car.
I asked the girl in the front seat if I could test drive it. She was hesitant, but I tossed her my keys so she would have some collateral. She agreed after a little convincing, tossed me the keys, and I was on my way.
I went down a small stretch of road, no longer than a half mile or so without incident. A brain wave of Stupidity crashed a little short of the beach and I soon found myself drifting into an open garage. I clipped the ass end on the wall coming in, breaking the taillight and denting the body.
Cut to a few hours later: Now I'm talking to insurance companies, the police, and the homeowner with a busted up mini-car in their garage. I woke up just after seeing the security can footage of the crash.

2020-04-18: The Bath
The dream about the fields of puddles. A pristine, stone bath rests in the middle of the landscape. No trees or greenery from edge to edge. A narrow stone path leading up to the bath. A large, flat stone sits by the bath.
A tired traveler is seen slowly approaching the bath. The man reaches the flat stone and smiles as he slowly rubs the edge as he makes his way along it. He removes his pack, folds his long coat, and places his helmet atop his pile of folded affairs.
Facing towards the bath, the man is seen standing at the foot of the stairs.
2020-04-07: Tank Frogs
I was in my room but it had flooded with water. I had a tank full of frogs that got swept away in the flood. I retrieved the tank, got it to shore, there was a bunch of beautiful corral in the tank now, but it seems the frogs were dead. The main one changed from green to orange. I assumed that they were just cold and waterlogged since they were kinda still moving. I got some warm water and poured it into the tank but that only seemed to make things worse.

2018-10-23: Office Diver
I was in an office building where one of the offices was sealed with silicone, as if the entire room had been waterproofed like a giant aquarium. The room was completely filled with water, and suspended within it was a man in a scuba suit, sitting in a chair at a desk. He moved slowly as he typed on his waterproof computer. Near the door, a narrow metal ladder was poorly bolted to the wall and it led up into a hole in the ceiling, the only apparent exit. Light filtered down from above, giving the room a dim, bluish glow.
2018-07-25
I found myself in a forest filled with dense, tangled undergrowth and towering trees, their canopies casting deep shadows over the forest floor. In the midst of this wild terrain stood a beautifully handcrafted trolley—ornate and old-fashioned, with rich wood paneling, brass fixtures, and intricate carvings that seemed almost ceremonial. It looked wildly out of place, like it had rolled in from another time or world. The forest was alive with tension; I could hear the low growls and movement of packs of Iron Wolves—massive, metallic beasts with glowing eyes and the fluid motion of something both animal and machine. The trolley offered no clear destination, but it felt like a refuge.
2018-03-24: Skeletons in the Stalls
My family and I were staying in a large house that belonged to another family. When I went to use the bathroom, I found a bunch of stalls in terrible condition—dirty, broken, and unsettling. I later learned that the family used to live in the bathroom beneath the house and had killed the original owner.
2018-01-29: Learning the Ropes
I dreamt I was working at a sperm bank with very little direction about what I was supposed to be doing. My office had three locked refrigerator safes (presumably full of sperm cups), along with a desk, phone, and computer. On my first day, I mostly just killed time, playing on the computer for a few hours. Eventually, I got called upstairs to the boss's office, where the whole team had gathered. She scolded me for not answering any phone calls. I told her the phone had never rung. She then pulled all the female employees into another room to speak privately.
While they were gone, I talked to the only other male employee. He eventually got up to go pee. A few minutes later, everyone came back and the boss scolded us for what we had apparently been talking about while she was gone. I got sent downstairs to the lobby to do paperwork. Down there, I was interacting with people interested in donating or receiving sperm for IVF. I handed out forms and pens. The lobby was half-restaurant, filled with chaos; kids running around, throwing food, creating a mess.
The scene gradually shifted into a school cafeteria. I was sitting with a group of friends and a cute girl. A Spanish guy with face tattoos suddenly burst in and started shooting up the place. We fought back with a food fight. I hid under a table.
Later, I found a seemingly endless supply of shoelaces in the gutter outside someone's house. We asked the homeowner if we could have them. He said no.
2018-01-23: The Broccoli Incident
I walked into a Cracker Barrel-style steakhouse and gift shop, where I was given a free steak and sat down to eat it. A man—white, late twenties to early thirties, with short hair and stubble—sat next to me. I assumed we had a drug deal arranged. I handed him the money, and he gave me a bag of broccoli instead. Frustrated and angry, I stabbed him with a steak knife. I was promptly arrested.

2017-08-19
There’s a huge storm happening outside, and I’m watching it from the front yard while fireworks go off at the same time. Somehow, a demon gets into the house, and Dad complains about it.
Later, I’m with a friend, sorting food rations, and I tell them to stop leaving every orange juice container half-finished.
2017-06-11
In a dark hallway, a large, imposing landlord-like Japanese man stands opposite a young Japanese woman, who appears to be dead. Her spirit suddenly rushes past him, and a close-up reveals his face as blackened and decayed, with milky, lifeless eyes.
