[UA] Dreams

[Greg Stolze]

Once I dreamed that I had died.  I could feel my soul leave my body and
stream up into the cosmos, and then it changed direction and began plunging
downward again.  I knew I was going to be reincarnated.  I didn't know if
it was Earth I was going to or not, but I was headed for a coastal region.

I was terrified.

Just a few nights ago, I dreamed I was in a bar -- not a great bar, sort of
one with a half-assed "tropical" theme, grass walls and bamboo but not
enough Tiki dolls and flaming torches to make it really tacky enough to be
cool.  It was 'John's Shack' or something like that.

In my dream, a very attractive woman -- thin, blue eyes, tanned -- was
talking to me at my table, and she shyly revealed that she'd pretty much
been stalking me for about five years.  This came out gradually.  When I
woke up, I could remember the actual conversation, but it's gone now.  But
she didn't seem particularly psychotic or even overly intense -- just sort
of bashful, like we all probably were the time we asked out that cute girl
from gym class or study hall.

I said something like "Me?  Why would you follow me around?  I'm nothing
special."

She did not deny this, she just said "All I know is, looking at you makes
me feel something I've never felt before."

So I woke up from that rather confused, trying to remember if I'd ever met
that woman before in real life (no).  Went to the bathroom, took a leak,
went back to bed and dreamed I was back in the bar.

This sort of serial dreaming has never happened to me before.

A couple other people were having conversations, and when I woke up from
THAT dream I remember thinking "Hm, I should write this stuff up for UA."
But now those other two conversations are gone.

I'd like to think they're lurking in my memory, and when I need to spice up
some UA project, they'll pop out.  But I don't know.

"I think the weirdest part of the dream was probably Teddy Roosevelt, knee
deep in water, riding the giant winged South American capybara."
