decembre

dreamt i was collaging a story about a raccoon, a lot of the dream was just cutting out shapes & organizing/deciding the sequence.

had a dream there was a plague happening. i lived in a huge mansion-y house with a bunch of refugees, people who were immune to whatever the illness was, and it was mostly women. there were still bodies lying on the ground wherever people died. there were these church cult groups, mostly catholic offshoots. people were making their own habits & skirts. i wasn't going to join, but i went around & talked to several of the women who had joined the groups & understood why.

dreamt i was at a house show with rancid vibes. it was raining outside & people were chanting & cheering on this vegan girl to try to get her to eat a piece of meat. I leaned in & let her know she really didn't have to do it, but she shrugged & smiled & said she thought it was funny so she was going to do it. i walked off & saw through a window there was a raccoon looking in. on the inside of the window was an armadillo with solid black eyes that looked cartoonish & vacant, very cute & mysterious. i pointed towards it & another raccoon walked up on the inside. then a bear walked up on the outside & all the animals pressed their faces together on either sides of the glass.

dreamt I showed up to an orangutan society & started talking with one of them. he told me I'd have to integrate & showed me some different things orangutans do that are different from humans & even though some of them felt wrong, I'd have to accept it & get used to it.

dreamt I moved into a big house with z & c. was worried c would be messy but they got a really big room so I thought maybe the mess would stay contained. I had a pet stoat & my friend J came over with a small bird of prey & a ferret. the bird was like a thin hawk with yellow feathers, kind of desert-y. I was worried the hawk would mess with the stoat & the ferret would agitate it but it was fine & the ferret & stoat actually got along really well. some dogs were running around too, chaotic dream

have been having several stress dreams lately, but haven't been writing them down & so i forget. i kind of remember having a classic zombie dream the other night, and another dream that took place in a warzone.

a few nights ago i dreamt my friend c had come back from slc to play a show i had booked. it was in a big theater and I was backstage. he normally plays soft guitar/ambient/folk stuff but i heard loud pop music switch on and when I looked onto the stage he was dressed in a bright costume and had a bunch of dancers with him & did a dance routine with lip synch instead. i felt confused but thought it was cool he was changing it up. when his set was over, he said he had to mix it up to keep people inspired and show people that you can do anything. i felt so inspired. then i saw my aunt M & gave her a hug. there was more going on backstage, but i forget what was happening, something kind of stressful.
