i walked into a movie theatre w/ a real stage, and in the middle isle, Jennifer, my fiancé, was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a white dress. she asked me if i was ready to get married. i looked down and saw that i was wearing a tux, so i said yes. then i noticed that all the women were wearing white dresses, and all the men were wearing tuxes. even though Jennifer had an empty wheel chair next to her, i sat down in an aisle seat, next to Billy Corgan. when his fiancé got there, i offered to move to the wheel chair so Billy could sit next to her. then the Young Life club started. it was all like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but i couldn't hear what they were saying b/c of the noise of the crowd. then i went backstage, and i saw Winnie The Pooh with HUGE jiggly breasts, and his nipples were attached to tubes which were attached to a machine, and he was being milked. one of the tubes fell off, so i replaced it.

i and some friends were going to go skydiving. when we first jumped, we were over water, but i guess that once we landed we had drifted over land. i thought that the weather was nice and bright, but now i'm remembering it as being kind of dark and ominous. also, i was terrified of the falling. once we got low enough, we pulled out umbrellas. well, the umbrellas flipped inside out, and we were still falling too fast. then someone got the idea to pull out our parachutes, so we pulled the cords on our parachutes and they opened. i was still afraid, because you still fall fast even with a parachute. so, by now we'd drifted over land, and we landed hard.

1. i was in a hospital. i woke up in the middle of the night and looked out the window. for some reason i decided to reach out the window and see if i could reach the window above me. when i put my hand out there, it landed on someone's foot. it was cold and unmoving, so i pulled it, and the man attatched to it, into my room. it turned out to be someone i knew, a big black man. but his skin was cold and clammy and he was unmoving, and when i pressed on his chest, water came out of his mouth. i panicked a little. i called out for help. i figured it wouldn't make much sennse to call 911 since i was already in a hospital. so after i screamed a little, i started trying mouth to mouth and CPR. but at first i did the mouth to mouth backwards: i covered his mouth and blew air into his nose. then i remembered the correct way, switched from that to CPR every few seconds. nothing seemed to be happening. i couldn't hear a heart beat at first. i gave up for a little while and tried some more a couple minutes later. i listened for his heart, and hear a single sluggish beat. i continued mouth to mouth, but his eyes were already opening. a team of nurses came into the room, and he stood up and was already talking. he walked out of the room with the nurses, and as they walked away i yelled out, "what was wrong with him?" and one nurse turned to me and said, "fits." "but his heart stopped!" said i. and she just laughed at me as i began to get self-concious about whether or not i really had heard his heart or not.
2. in japanese class we were learning about a strange japanese custom: removing body parts at meals and replacing them w/ other peoples' to enhance the food. we were going to have a test on this, and some people would have hands cut off, arms removed, heads removed, but everyone would have something cut off and replaced w/ someone else's body part. well, i would have none of it. i decided not to go to class on the day of the test. then, i decided to go but only to take the written portion of the test and not let myself be cut up, especially decapitated. naturally, i was first in line, but i resisted. noriko sensei pulled me aside and talked to me about it. she kept saying something that i couldn't understand b/c she was talking so low. she was holding trays of vegetables. finally, after repeating it many many times, she said, "kikanai?" and i said, "hai, kikanai." so she talked louder. she said, "you've made me realize that you can't just rush into it. you can't just eat the bullet-proof noodles and be expected to be able to change body parts." "bullet-proof noodles?" said i. "yes, the black ones," she said.

1. I lived in a fish store that i had bought. But I'd forgotten that I'd bought it. It suddenly dawned on me, and i went to look around. There was a speckled pleco, just like a regular pleco, but the browns were red. And i had several more puffers.
2. Mark Poirier was in a plane that took off from NO international & crashed on the westbank expressway. He was killed but not everyone was. Me and several other people were in a sort of trailer on the expressway.
3. I was trying to set up a password for my uno internet account, but it was very difficult. The lady @ the desk wouldn't respond. Someone told me to dial a certain number, & i ended up talking to the girl who picked up about identifying her accent.
05-01-02
I had a jardini arowana, apparently in a cage, yet somehow "swimming" through the air. I was feeding it lettuce and carrots like an iguana. Then, the fish and i started discussing what he wanted to eat, b/c he was a carnivore & didn't like vegetables.
05-04-02
1. I had to cross the bridge to get to the eastbank, but there was construction on it that totally screwed everything up. The middle lane was closed, and the other two lanes had great sections cut out of the middle, and large pink grates were covering the hole. The traffic was horrendous. And, everything was so confusing that i crossed the bridge from the westbank and ended up somehow on the westbank. My mom and i were a little annoyed.
2. I kept dreaming about selling. It didn't seem that i was working for United Media, and I'm not sure what i was selling. Everyone was super competitive, almost to the point of backstabbing others. It's pretty fuzzy, but i think i sold well.
05/22/02
I dreamed that Donald told me i had to take a month off of work. I was wondering how I'd make it money-wise.
05/23/02
Outside of my grandmother's house there was a small 18-wheeler that my mom & i set on fire. Tons of police & fire engines showed up. So, b/c I'd seen my mother do it so often, I made up a story about how someone had killed someone, cut him up, and burned him in the truck. So, the police started an investigation into it. I'd done it as a joke, but now i was starting to get scared b/c it was a crime to lead on the police. I knew that I'd seen my mother do it so many times, & finally I'd done it w/out even thinking. So for the rest of my life i lived in fear of being locked up.
06-21-02
I was standing in front of my mom's house, looking across the street. Although I was not underwater, my perspective was as though I was looking @ the surface of the canal from underneath. In the distance I could see a pair of foot-long arawanas swimming @ the surface. Soon, I was in the water w/ them, swimming w/ them. It was incredibly liberating and exciting.

1. Charles Ramirez was a crime boss before he got saved. I had somehow offended him, and he'd brought me into his office to kill me. We talked for a little bit, then he put a blindfold over my eyes, b/c he wanted to shoot me while I was off-guard. W/ the blindfold in place, I started saying things like, "you know, if you kill me, it'll really screw up your life." "oh, and why's that?" Charles said. So I started talking about how I was a child of God, and how he doesn't respond positively to people messing w/ his kids. Then the room was different and and Travis Berzas came in, only now he was much older than me. He was saying how he just couldn't understand Christianity, though he wanted to, and he couldn't accept it.
Years later, after Charles had gotten saved, we were reminiscing about that incident, and Charles said, "you know, you have no idea how many times when you had that blindfold on that I pointed my gun right @ you, about to shoot you, but something you said stopped me.
2. A war against the US was inevitable. Finally, the news broke that Germany was on its way to attack America. I was @ my grandmother's house, I was afraid, so I hid in the master bathroom shower.
06-26-02
I was talking to a friend of mine, maybe in a kitchen, maybe it was Brendan Frasier. I'm pretty sure he was a bass player in my band. We were talking about Jurassic Park, a scene that didn't exist. Brendan was talking about the time that Levine gave up hope of survival and hid in a large bush while the tyrannosaurs spat on him to scent-mark him. It reminded me of death, so I asked him, "Have you ever seen a man die in person?" then I told him about how I saw Skot get hit by a car & die. It was a horrible memory. I still wasn't over it.
06/30/02
I was Spider-Man, & my enemy was Capt. America. He thought I was evil, though I wasn't. There was one scene outside, on the side of a building. I could see Capt. America in the distance blowing something up. Then, the two of us were at a family dinner at my Aunt Pat's house. We both knew who the other was. When I needed some salt, instead of asking him to pass it, I was considering slinging a web, just to get on his nerves.
07-06-02
Jennifer & I were @ Tulane, I think, @ some kind of restaurant or something where there were lots of people, & it was @ night. she & I went outside on the deck of wherever we were. When I looked up, I saw small points of light, moving around very quickly in perfect circles and complicated maneuvers. This is the tell-tale signature of a UFO. Soon, other lights joined them, but we could clearly see that they were F-15's, and they started firing on the UFO's. An incredible firefight started.
The next morning, as Jennifer & I were walking down Audubon St., we saw Mrs. Majors from Solis. She told us that the fallout from last night's firefight was starting to fall onto the snow in our area, and that we were in danger of disease from it.
07-13-02
Jennifer & I were laying on top of a roof. This roof came down @ an angle, like most roofs, but leveled off a bit @ the bottom before it ended, so that there was enough room for a person to lay. Jennifer kept playfully trying to push me off, & she'd tease me for being scared, since it was only an 18ft drop. Then we decided to make a sandwich. There was a Honey Baked Ham store below us. I threw some bread down onto its roof. Then I tried throwing meat & squirting mustard onto it, but most it ended up on the Honey Baked Ham's window. Then for some reason I must have said something about worldly music, b/c suddenly Dan Hebert was there, telling me I'd better not spend a dollar of my money on worldly music, & that I needed to "filter" out all my worldly influences. Well, that took all the joy out of my day, so I wanted to climb down off the roof. But it wasn't very easy. I couldn't just walk along the ledge. There was a parallel ledge below it, & I kinda had to grab hold w/ my feet of the bottom & grab the top w/ my hands. It's hard to explain, but it was very difficult & scary.

1. I'd met KC Leonard in the field off of Ames near Aunt Pat's house, the one closest to Lapalco, but in the corner nearest her house. The grass was tall & dead. Lauren was also there, but she looked different, like she'd aged too fast. Mr. KC was training me on getting married. He would show me things like how to pose for the photos, where & how to walk, what say, etc., during the wedding ceremony. @ times, there were other people around, & we were even in a church sometimes. The last thing he left me w/ was that this summer I had to buy a ring, & in order to do that, I had to eat mostly fruit everyday.
2. I decided to visit Roger @ Pelican b/c I wanted to see if he'd retired yet. I went to the back of the warehouse where he was working & started talking. I also kinda helped him w/ his work a bit. After a while, David called out to me saying, "Jason, mind your own business!" well, I'd had every intention to visit w/ David after I left Roger, but instead, I just said, "ok, " & started walking out. As I did, I watched David work for a bit. He was in total darkness. He wouldn't turn on any of the lights, & it appeared that he was alone in the warehouse. Then I went into the offices to see who I could see there. Everyone was in the lunch room & the kitchen. It was mostly the same people. There were a few new faces, but not even the ones who knew me acknowledged my presence. I walked into the kitchen & saw Dr. Calhoun. He'd lost a lot of weight. He even seemed happy to see me. It seemed that he'd forgotten about our bad severance & that he missed me.
08-24-02
O'Henry's was on one side of the street, and a strip mall was on the other side. I was supposed to meet someone @ the strip mall, but as I passed O'Henry's, i saw Myron Crockett walking inside, so i stopped to see him. By the time i walked in, Myron had turned into Jack Horner, and was talking to Josh from IV. Over the restaurant's speakers came the song "Funeral March." i wanted to point out to them the part where Jennifer sings. I kept trying to get their attention b/c it was important, yet they continually & effectively ignored me. At one point, Myron / Jack looked in my direction, but continued listening to Josh, who seemed oblivious to my presence. So, I calmly turned around & walked out, forgetting their existence, never thinking about the incident again.
08-26-02
I was living @ my mom's, & it was still horribly filthy. Kei was spending the week w/ me. There was a pond in the backyard. That morning I put Frank the fish in it so he could be outside. But when I got home, the pond had almost dried up & Frankie was almost dead. So I scooped him out and in the process found several other fish I didn't realize were in there, including a gourami and a clown trigger fish, who was almost dead b/c of the freshwater. So, as much as I didn't want to, I knew I'd have to set up a saltwater tank for it. Also, I was apologizing to Kei that the toilet wasn't working, but he said it was ok b/c he always used the bathroom in restaurants, and he often had diarrhea.
08-28-02
I was taking some kind of medical course at UNO, and apparently the professor was the brother of Kevin Brown. I kind of figured it out mostly by the way he spoke more than the way he looked. Also, someone who seemed to be Kevin's daughter but was my age and whom I'd never met was in the class. I remarked to her that she looked a lot like her mother, and I said it as though I were her father and her mother had died a long time ago. And then I said, "Did you know I've been to your house before?" But as I said it, I was wondering why I hadn't seen her there.
09-06-02
Greg Mariano and I decided to have a "chorus-off" to see which of us knew more worship songs. At first we were going to sing and play them at each other, but then it turned into who could type the lyrics the fastest. I had just written a song called "New Grasshoppers," which was instrumental, so I just typed the title and printed it out and won. Then it somehow turned into a contest of decorating gates from chain-link fences. I saw Greg's gate and got very jealous. Suddenly I was on the corner of Manhattan & Gretna Blvd with Ronald from TCC. i looked up at the traffic light, and on it was a large square with something that looked like a huge slice of onion laid across it. This gave me the idea for how I wanted to decorate my gate, which I just happened to have with me. Apparently it had bee broken before, but now wasn't. Ronald asked me, "Did it fix itself?"

This dream made me wake up afraid to face the day.
I was at war. My only weapon could have only been described as the PDA version of a gun. It wasn't very useful because of its small size, but I was an expert with it. I suddenly found myself in combat. The enemy was at the top of a large hill and we were at the bottom, laying on our stomachs and shooting up at them. We had tiles of styrofoam covered with foil to cover our heads. After shooting at us long-range, the enemy began to advance upon us. As I was aiming at someone, a soldier walked up to me and shot me three times in the head. I remember trying to lift my head thinking I would be ok, but then I died.
The dream continued, though. I was now someone else. My commanding officer called me into his office and discharged me because he could tell I hated to fight. I walked into an empty elevator that violently shook and bounced. I boarded a train that didn't need tracks and was totally empty inside, without seats even. i laid down in a back corner and grieved. At the second stop, a group of Jews and people from White Dove got on the train, sat around me and tried to comfort me with scriptures. One Jew had a "portable torah" that came with a CD rom.

It was Dan Hebert's turn to lead worship, but he wasn't able to make it to church. Greg was there, but he didn't feel like leading, so Richard Rault and I were chosen to do it. Richard was able to play piano like Bill Nesbit. He didn't want me to play guitar though, he wanted me to play keyboard. I told him that I can't play piano very well, but he insisted that we needed two keyboards, even though all I could do was play the basic chords. At one point during the service, Greg came up on stage to adjust a mic stand for me, and he was very annoyed.
09-22-02
It was like a scene from Revelations. God was speaking to His people. At the end of His message, He wanted to give us a glimpse of His glory. He told us to put our fingers in the air. From out of the sky shot a tremendous concentrated bright beam of light. It flowed above my head so that my fingertips just barely touched it. We were filled with joy and amazement. But when it disappeared after a few seconds, everyone was thrown back. My entire body was cinged like I had been burned, but I felt wonderful, physically and spiritually. I was full of joy.

Jennifer and I lived in a large apartment together. One day, for some reason, she had several pistols. A policeman walked up to her, and she grabbed his guns too. He didn't seem to be afraid, but he was being extra nice to her. Then she pointed a gun at him. He started to get nervous and plead for his life. Then Jennifer
shot him in the head, and seemed to enjoy it. It upset me greatlyand I ran away. I was completely devastated. Eventually, though, I came back to her and sort of accepted what she'd done.
10-20-02
Susan and Jennifer met Donald and Carol and the Ramirez's before church at some place that looked like a bus station or an airport. I was wearing a shirt with no tie, and so was Donald. Donald grumpily said to me, "You're out of uniform." Then Elvia started saying, "Donald, you can't tell him that," and others were saying, "You can't make that rule," and my sister said to him, "Let him wear what he wants. Donald turned and looked at my sister but said nothing to anyone. I had the feeling that he would talk to me and retract that rule, but when I woke up realizing it was a dream, I dreaded the day.

1. It seemed like I was in the Audubon Zoo mixed with Jurassic Park. Down in one of the exhibits I saw a large aquarium similar to the one I want for my house. From where I was standing I could see large bluish fish the size of pacus. I went down to get a closer look, but by the time I got there, the tank was more than halfway drained and all the fish were gone.
2. I was in an axe murderer movie type of situation. I only remember being in my bedroom. I was afraid because I knew he was out there. Suddenly I heard the loud banging on my door of the axe hitting it.
10-22-02
I was a comedian like Andy Kauffman, or I was watching this comedian. I/he went on a famous visit to an old woman with a young voice who had Alzheimer's, but the symptoms she displayed would be closer to schizophrenia in real life. I was sitting on her bed listening to her, when two GIANT hands slowly reached from behind her for her head, suddenly, violently seizing her head. At once, the room went pale and flashing. babies that moved like predators attacked us, gnawing at our flesh. Later, after it was all over, some people came out from behind a curtain laughing, saying it was all a practical joke.
10-26-02
I was driving horribly. Maybe I just didn't know where I was going. Every turn I made was much too fast, and the road was wet. I kept turning into wrong lanes and having to back
out. It was a mess.
10-29-02
All I remember is a very little black bird. It was very fluffy, almost hairy instead of feathery. It was just squawking. I think it may have been in my grandparents' trailer.

1. I was in a dark theater. There was a huge man dressed in a wrestling jumpsuit doing some sort of performance about grammar. I was sitting towards the back in the center. One guy was called upon to say a sentence. His grammar was 99.9999% correct, but because of a very small mistake that I couldn't even detect, the wrestling guy beat him up.
2. In the dream I had a 5-gal. fish tank with several Colomesus asellus in it, but they were all dying. I apparently had a vision that explained to me that the reason they were dying was that the filter I was using was sucking up all the substrate and depositing it on top of the fish. The vision showed a scene reminiscent of the movie Time Machine, where slowly over time, the sediments piled up over the fish. Then, in real time I dug under the rocks to grab the fish out. They were alive, but barely. At this point, I looked over at my 30-gal., and Jeff was fine.

I was with someone I knew who was a werewolf. It was almost dark and he was about to change. We locked ourselves in a cage. He told me that I could stay in the cage with him, and he might kill me, or he might protect me from other werewolves, because he couldn't be totally sure what he would do after he changed.
But if I left the cage, he told me, the other werewolves would definitely kill me. However, I figured I'd have a better chance out in the open with the many werewolves than locked in a small cage with one werewolf. So I left the cage. I saw many other people get killed, and I came very close to the werewolves myself, but the dream ended without a resolution, so I don't know if I survived or not.
11-11-02
I dreamed about making sushi rolls out of smoked salmon.
