this does not happen this time of year.  
all last night, Thunder Man rambled around out there,  all last night.  just when you thought he was gone,  nope.  There he was again.

and i moved what i refer to as the Spy Chair around in the middle of the night, somewhere near 2 a.m.  to see if i could figure out what was going on.  but no.  just Dark.  so…ok.
and i dreamed.  i have mentioned before that i have really strange dreaming.  well, this one was
the most strange.  it was about the Old Folks home.  about Alz. b.  and i ordinarily would keep
it to myself, because it is so wierd.  but today, i think…Why?  
so i dreamed that they called me to come.  and i went.  and just as i went through her door to her room (that she shares with two or three others),   she SPRANG.    Sprang out of her bed, all her skinny and boney self.  and Sprang like a Holloween thing, all scarey and powerful and then, just infront of me was one of the CNAs (nursing assistants), all bloody and damaged, and from Alz b.
and then it switched to me trying to get some of the staff to pay attention to this scene, but they were having a meeting.  and i couldn't get anyone to listen, really.  so i go back and somehow someone had taken Alz B somewhere and she had been "debridded".  She was all so very very small and had no skin.  just her underskinself, but also very small.  and lying there.  all exposed to the air which i worried about…if might not feel ok to her.  but then it went on, and too fast for me to remember it, but it turned out that she was just this very very small piece of membrane.  maybe like 4×5 inches….and i kept losing her.  couldn't keep track of her.  but no one else seemed worried.  and then we saw that one of the other residents had become trapped by a fallen wall size TV screen.  she was lying there…flattened under it with her oxygen tubes still nicely in her nose.
so.  this is the dream.  there's more.  but this is enough.  and the really interesting thing to me, is that during these dreams,  i am not really at all upset.  but, in a certain way, Just Going.  it's like, ok, now what?

    Well, 239 STORMS is a LOT of storms!! (hehehe) And, your dream reminds me of a theme that runs through my dreams – and my life – that I am trying to get people to see the danger, or to understand what is at stake, or to understand how absolutely NUTS the situation is, and nobody seems at all phased but me. It seems like the way the world is right now, the way I live, feeling like I can’t run around ALL the time screaming – YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY, GREEDY, ALIENS (maybe?) AND YOU ARE KILLING US AND YOU EITHER KNOW IT AND DON’T CARE OR ARE STUPID AND DON’T SEE IT – but I don’t do this, I JUST GO and pray and sing to the Land, and create beauty, and dive into the mystery, and care for the creatures and bless them when I pass them dead on the road, and cry at the clearing of a forest and hold the dream that it is all a part of the divine, whether or not I can see it.
    Languaging this as I was taught to in a dream group, “If I were the dreamer in your dream, I would think I was in a world gone mad that no one else paid close enough attention to see when the helpless were disappearing.”

    I find dreamworld fascinating and instructional.
    The best ones are always unsettling. I think Thunderman may have set the stage.

    i like that–the “ok,now what?”–the implied detachment. and i love that image of the fence, firewood, gray sky, mountains in the distance. setting the tone for winter–and the gray chair w/bird echoing the tone. and you were out at 2 am and was it cold? and were you clothed in your silk skin?

    Dreams are fascinating. I wish I could access more of my own.
    4×5 inches reminds me of a scrap of cloth.

    just going. that’s all. however we can see the Path.
    Truth is, for me, it’s all equally What It Is. That’s
    it. it’s all equally what it is. and that’s what my
    dreams say. it’s all equally what it is.

    i never much have Sweet dreams. they are always kind of
    similar to this, tho this one was extreme. it’s only
    recently that they have familiar people and places. they
    always before took place in lands where i had never been.
    so this switch is interesting to me

    sure wild things happen every week but the Old Crow just rolls with the punches for instance just a few days ago when we nearly collided with a car at an intersection doing a mad maneouvre with no indicators on, his quick reflexes saved the day whilst I was gripping the seat with white knuckled fever saying “Whoee… that was close!” he saved us! & he said “just another drama” and kept driving no worries… he’s cool (I’m not)
