Interuption

I interrupt the epic dream to bring you this nightmare of a tale. A few nights ago in my sleep, Meg became engaged and decided to move out which in turn meant that I could no longer afford to live at this house by myself. I was, by default, forced to move away. All my things were sold off without my knowing and my mom set up a blind date with me at our house which turned out not to be so blind because I knew him. I'm pretty sure I cried. It was such a whirlwind of events that I couldn't be sure I was just dreaming it. I asked my mom if this was all a bad dream and she said "no, this is really happening." When I woke up in real life I still wasn't sure that this hadn't happened, so I had to ask someone I knew if any of this sounded familiar. Luckily, he denied all of it.

Part II

Alright, so let me continue. The three lands were representative of heaven, earth, and hell. So the messengers coming from the North land, were like angels, and the messengers coming from the South land, were like demons. The middle land was earth. Earth was in a middle ages setting, I suppose. The castle were mom worked was a school, unfortunately not Hogwarts. It was a school for people to come and learn basic skills, profession training, and study about the other lands. Mom was a caretaker and school teacher. She often brought me into her class to meet some of her students and to let me help with her demonstrations. I was still too young for school at age 16. It was more like college, I guess, but many people came to study when they came of age. It wasn't required, but it was highly recommended. One day after mom had taken me to class with her, I was hanging back talking to some of the students and she went ahead. She usually took a nap after class, so when I went back to our house, I expected to see her there in her room on her bed sleeping. But she wasn't there. She was nowhere. I couldn't find dad either. There was no sign of them, and I began to worry. I could tell that someone else had been there because the house was torn apart in certain rooms. I thought perhaps a messenger had come from the South land and taken them away, though it was hard to believe. The messengers from the South never dared come to the school and certainly not a school teacher.
As I continued to search a band of soldiers came by my house. With them was a messenger from the North. He came to speak to me. I didn't recognize him since he was dressed like a soldier. He said that a band of men from the South land had come to my house and forcibly taken my parent's with them. He also said that they were taking a group to go after them and that I was to go as well. Never before had a messenger ever come to participate in our middle land affairs, so I knew this was a big deal. I knew then and this was going to be one of those epic journeys that people don't always return from. It was a little bit terrifying, but I decided to go.

I don't want to get into the theology of this world too much, but I will explain a little more later when I post again.

The Most Epic of Dreams Part 1: Introduction

Ok, let's start here. I dreamt that I lived in a different world. There were three main parts to this world, though one of the main parts was only known be legend since no one had traveled there since the beginning of time. We knew about it because there was land to the north that stretched on a far as the eye could see, but also from rumors and stories that had sprung from people living along the borders of the lands. Messengers came from the legendary third of the world.

I was a teenager again in this world. Perhaps even a little younger. I lived with my mother and father at a school or palace or whatever where my mother taught. She was the one who provided for our family. We lived on a small property within the school property boundaries.

The land to the south was the evil land where rarely anyone returned from if they verntured there. From both the Legendary part of the world and the South Land, there were messengers passing through and to the Main land where we lived. Some could be seen by all as they passed through, but some messengers were visible only to the person to whom they were intended to bring the message.

It's now late and I need to get rest, so I will have to continue tomorrow....

The Most Epic of Dreams to Come...

Last night I had the most epic of dreams ever. I don't have time to post it right now, but I just wanted to let you know that it's coming. It will probably take a few posts to get it all down. Let's just say a new world has been found in my head.

The Beast in the Rafters

My understanding of the events going on in my dreams is getting fuzzier, so I'll try to make sense as best I can. I think I was living in a ski lodge with several other students and a headmaster. The lodge was high up in the mountains and it was night time. The Olympics was going on down on the slope below us and we were watching them on a small tv screen. I started hearing strange noises from the rafters above. Some people noticed the noises and were frightened by them, others didn't. Just then, I was grabbed by the back of my shirt and pulled up into the rafters by large beast. I didn't ever see it in the light, so it was hard to tell exactly what it looked like, but it was hairy. The beast spoke to me and told me it meant me no harm. It came to warn me that there were other more dangerous beasts outside our lodge preparing to take us all one by one. It was absolutely terrifying. It took a while to convince me that this creature that had grabbed me was truly on my side wanting to warn us. He said that he would send me back down to the floor and that I would have to convince the others the truth of what he said. To help me, he spoke strange words into the darkness and made a strange movement. When I looked down, my hair was all grown out and black and curly. He said this would be a sign to them, a sign of evil, and that I had to show them and explain its meaning. As soon as my feet touched the floor again, I woke up.

Elephant Trunk Showers, Jim Halpert and the Blarney Stone

It's been a while since I've been able to post anything. I've had nightmares, or I've forgotten what I dreamed so I was unable to share anything. Those days are hopefully over and I return now with a tale. First, I moved into a vacation house with no showers. The reason being this, that the new law in California was that inside showers were now prohibited because of the electricity they used. Instead, each resident was assigned an elephant that they would house on their property. In return, the elephant's trunk would become your new shower head. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with this solution, so after consulting with Jim Halpert, we raced to the Blarney Stone in order to find the answers to this problem. I don't remember why it was a race, but before I woke up, I had arrived there just before Jim Halpert. I won. However, I got not response from the stone.
