Grief, Jimmy.

I am at a testing facility. The facility is warm and inviting with an emphasis on learning and growth. My company is there to test reading and writing abilities, logic, and proprioception. Some employees are having their balance tested in what looks to me like a racquetball court. The wooden floors are clean and glossy. One of my fellow employees is telling everybody what to expect during the plyometric testing phase. I have to go into another room to take my logic test. The room is an elementary school cafeteria. There is a TV on next to me as I take the test. The TV is showing a horror movie called Grief, Jimmy. The title is the word grief in black, a red slash of blood as the comma, Jimmy in Black and a drop of blood as the period. In the movie a man's shadow is killing all of his friends. He doesn't know who is killing all of his friends and the part of the movie that is showing on the TV is the exposition at the very end of the movie when the villain explains his motive. Jimmy is crying on the side of a snowy ski slope. His friends are dead all around him. His shadow is holding all of his friends' mangled bodies ans speaks to Jimmy through one of his friend's mouth. "Why are you all looking at me!" Jimmy cries. "Because, out here, there's so much grief, Jimmy. We just want you to see some familiar faces." I am crying. I am in an old warm two story building. There are glossy hardwood floors and walls. I am comfortable but I am crying as I look out into the starts. The starts are exaggerated and huge. I can see other galaxies close up as I decide which to focus on. I am crying because I feel that I have missed my chance to travel the stars. All I can do is look at them. I missed my chance to be a star traveler. I am destined for great things I am crying but I will not give up.......wake up.

lion bear panther

I am floating above a dark river in Africa. I am in a sitting position looking in front of me floating inches above the water. I am looking forward but I am flying backwards. I am flying fast but I trust my speed and direction. In front of me three figures slowly emerge from the water. The figures are synchronized in their movement. They maintain the exact same speed as I do but the figures face me. They are five feet away in the water. They slowly and elegantly emerge from the dark river. On the left a golden lion emerges. In the center a Kodiak chocolate brown bear rises. On my right a velvet black panther assends from the dark river. They are pefectly spaced and all three emerge fully from the water and eventually float above the river eye level with me.......wake up.

Adventure race

I am on an adventure race through a green and grand seasonal forest. I am competing against all of my band mates from a band I used to be in. Darren and I are tied for first place. We run through trees, ferns and foliage until we come to a water fall. The spray from the waterfall is cold against my face. We both look over the edge and pace back and forth surveying where it is we want to jump down into the water below. I jump first into a deep area near where the waterfall collects at the base. It is safer but further away from the other side. Darren jumps in a more shallow area but it is closer to the other side of the pool. I have to swim extra fast to maintain my bearing head to head with Darren in the race. As we run out of the waterfall pool we are both knee deep in water running as fast as we can we are pushing and elbowing each other and he manages to push me off balance into a black hole, which turns into Juston's bedroom from high school. The walls are grey and the climate is cool but comforting. Sunlight beams through white mini blinds. I realize that this room is the re-set room where the game we are all competing in will put me back on track with everyone in the game. I see a digital countdown clock with red numbers on the wall. The clock shows me the time until the game resets my position with the other players. I have a few seconds. I start looking around the room for things I can use. I take a wool knit hat because my hat got wet in the waterfall. The hat has a 35mm lens in it.......wake up.

plainclothes detective

I am a plainclothes detective. I am going to a local police station to interegate a witness. I have a big lunch with me in a reused Central Market plastic bag. I realize I have to put the bag through thex-ray machine and the bag is too big to fit through the conveyer-belted opening. I start emptying things out in the trash. I am at camp. everyone is mobilizing to get on to buses with their friends to go to their prospective camp sites. My friends are waiting for me at the bottom of the hill. Matt Fraser is yelling at me to hurry to get on the bus. The bus is leaving without me. My lunch has turned into a huge amount of camping gear. I have so much to gather and carry to the bus. The bus left without me. I am looking around to find someone who can get me to my camp site where all of my friends are. I find a very tall and ancient tree. It has a huge doorway in the very middle at the base. I open the door and walk into the tree. The tree is a vast and expansive dwelling. The walls and floors and ceilings are all covered in thick dark mud. There are people moving about upstairs. They are mud people. The mud people are made of the same dark mud that covers the walls and ceilings and floors. When the mud people talk mud sputters from their mouths. I look down and realize I am covered in mud too. There are three mud people, a grandfather, a father and a grandson. The grandfather nods at me when I walk up but remains sitting in his chair. The father acknowledges me but kneels down to his son and says "what are you doing son?!" the little boy makes a weird face, he is flaring his nostrils. The father says to the little boy, "You've got what's up in one nostril and Doc in the other!" The little boy replies, "WHATSUUUUUUUUUP?!" The father says, "No not like that".......wake up.

You were supposed to guard him

I am out in a green field. The sky is dark with thunder clouds and the sun shines with a muffled brilliance in the distance in every direction. The wind is blowing cool. I notice something in the sky. It's a bighorn ram with huge falcon wings. It flys in cirlces around me. I HAVE to catch it for it's fur. I find some vines wrapped tightly around a tree near me and I make a woven rope out of the vines. I make a lasso and time the throw just right so that when the ram is close I launch the lasso. I got him. I bring him to the ground and he doesn't resist at all. I lay him on his right side on to the cool green grass. He bays slightly and looks up at me. I focus on his eye and how large and glossy and perfect it is in it's construction. I move in very calculated but relaxed movments as if I have done this very thing many times before. The ram's coat is made of beautiful, dark, shiny human brunnette hair. I cut it with shears.
I am on a building site. The site is my grandmothers house. They are adding on. The site has exposed studs and beams. Some walls have been constructed and there is plywood lying around on the ground. There are many raised organic vegetable garden on the site. I find a dark grey ketten with overly big bright blue eyes. It is my duty to protect the kitten at this potentially dangerous building site. The kitten eludes me. It can walk on walls and ceilings. It is very quick and agile and it seems that the kitten can defy all physical laws of physics. The kittens mother approaches me. She says, "Where is my baby? You were supposed to gaurd him".......wake up.

You Guys Need a Ramp

I just bought an old building with some friends of mine. My friends I have never seen before but I know we are long time, deep and close friends. The old building we bought is victorian in style and is falling apart everywhere on the inside. The outside is sturdy and elegant. There are holes in the floor and stairways just hover in mid air hanging below and above us. I need to climb down from an upper level to a lower level. I have one of friends hold my arms and I lower myself down. I place my feet on one part of the broken stairway and it falls out from beneth me. My friend holds onto my arms tightly. I am dangling now 50 feet up in the air. I am thinking to myself doing yoga will help me in this situation. I slowly, calmly and methodically shift my weight and get one leg propped on the landing where my friend is holding my arms. My left foot is above and to the left of my left shoulder. I use my leg to lift me until I can grab the other side of the landing with my right arm. I shift my weight again and I lift myself all the way onto the landing to safety. Someone is yelling at my friends and I from below. It is my one friend's girlfriend. She has firey red hair and is very pretty. She seems really mean and condisending though. She says, "you guys need a ramp!".......wake up.

Usership

I am looking at a white ceiling above me. I realize I don't actually own anything. My concept of ownersip is all wrong. What I really have is usership. I pray that I weild my usership properly. I pray that I can always be a good man and be one of the good people doing good things. From the white ceiling emerges a Rorschach inkblot test. The ink is actually a creature about 7 feet tall with razor sharp limbs. He holds me tight and says, "I need to recoup on my reconsideration of reconfiguration." He only speaks in alliteration. He opens his mouth and his razor sharp tounge emerges from a mouth stacked with razor sharp teeth. I turn my head and dodge the tounge. His tounge reimerges from a mouth in his throat I dodge that one then a razor sharp tounge emerges from a mouth in his chest. I am on the edge of a very tall buidling. It is night. The city bustles below. The sun has just set. The air is cool and clean as if it has just rained. A woman with long shiny brunette hair is dead below me on the ground. People are all crowding around to look at her. Another woman is falling to the ground she is looking up at me. She has shoulder length blonde hair that flutters in the cool wind as she falls. Both women are wearing non-photo blue business skirt suits. The blonde woman is whispering to me. I see her face now from only inches away. She whispers, "Please help us find the one who cheated us." I turn to my left. My back is warm against the the back wall of a concrete cave. I see beautiful morning light through a large opening ahead of me. Thousands of birds are fluttering all around the entrance.......wake up.
