Rant Routing w/Eddie Vedder

Went to see Eddie Vedder perform at a small venue.. he was annoyed by a lot of things and we shared a rant session after the show.

At home working in my backyard with multiple phone wires trying to explain call routing to an executive that was visiting.... they thought there was a routing problem but things were routing as designed.

Ugh. Work Dream... I was having so much fun with Eddie Vedder and you had to go ruin it!

Corrupt Reality

Was with 2 other girls and we got pulled over for speeding - the cop let us go because one of the girls made out with him.   The rest of the force got wind that this happened and arrived to punish us... and I'm not talking about the good kind.

Vince McMahon was the lead of the rogue group of policemen that were going to come in and eradicate those that aided in the corruption of this cop.. who actually initiated the exchange during the pull over..but somehow we were getting all the blame... He was either going to kill us.. or whatever reality we knew of everything that existed was all about to change.  I remember trying to get my hands on a knife cause I was going to fight... I wasn't about to sit here and let this happen.

Orphaned Glass Eaters

I was 1 of 3 Russian homeless orphan siblings and we each had mullets... because of my hair and my weird nose I was often mistaken for a boy.  We were wearing dirty potato sacks for clothes and our hair was untidy and bordering on being dreadlock-like.  We slept on old wooden pallets discarded behind old abandoned factories in an industrial area.

I broke the screen on my iPhone and was compulsively eating the glass.

8' Owls, Amputated Aligator Milk, Dr Pepper and White Socks

There was an 8-foot owl in the backyard at my Mom's place... she went outside to see it and it attacked her while I was fixing a bathtub faucet inside.

Ice Cream made with alligator milk.

A competition of leg-less people who would suspend themselves to collect or filter a fluid from above to a collection tank below.  The one I was witness to was a small Asian girl who had been amputated just below the waist... she was wearing a black corset and a gas mask - she was very confident that she had her skill down... she rigged herself up and swung into place ... but as the fluid flowed she was off target... her disappointment was apparent and to avoid embarrassment she began to act as though it was missed on purpose and she wanted to highlight the functionality of the gas mask..

Went to a grocery/drug store and ran into a girl from work I don't care for... she didn't see me at first... I had to get some Dr. Pepper for my sister and for some reason I wasn't wearing socks.. so grabbed some from the shelf and put them on... they were super white and too big for my feet... went to the checkout counter and it was 8 items or less... so I had to take something off the belt... I remember there were 2 baseball caps .. 1 Dr Pepper one and 1 Sprite one that I got for my sister (strange she doesn't wear baseball hats)- and the checkout guy said something was missing.. and I alerted him to my socks.

Outer-space Pizza Box Cave Escape

He messaged me through a pizza box because he felt he should explain... I was on a work trip that involved a stop in a hot springs..he had been following me the entire trip.... Nephew was with me and we slipped on the embankment and he went under... I screamed for help but was able to retrieve him without any issue and he was content.

The 2nd part of the trip was in outer-space... We had crossed paths again and he finished explaining that he was just "bored" and writing messages in a single slice of pizza that stood out from the whole for "fun"... I asked how many others there were and that's when the messages stopped.  Apparently he didn't want to tell me so I can only assume there were plenty.  The one I knew of was leading the trip... I think she was suspicious of the contact I was engaged in... I could feel it.. but she said nothing.  We were late returning to earth and she was on the phone trying to track down who prematurely broke the story about the findings of our expedition... it flashed now to someone explaining on TV how we have to enter the atmosphere at a specific angle and speed otherwise we completely incinerate.

Either within this same dream or another... I watched a movie that was loosely based on my pizza messages.  Robin Williams played an obsessed lover of a married man who was set on not leaving his family.  He broke the news to Robin via pizza message, that he and his family were going to up and move to Alaska and he wasn't invited (Robin was like the Nanny or something)  It flashed to the memory of the married man and how he had viewed the property in a previous visit... it was cave like with underground natural springs and colorful cave walls.  

Seems as though now that I am recalling this dream (I've been struggling to remember my dreams daily of late) that I dreamt of such a property before this dream (same night, different dream)... and in that dream someone else was fleeing to escape someone else... Hmm.. themes of escape.. fitting considering.

Modest Blackouts

We were going go to 2 Modest Mouse concerts after a work trip.  My friend arrived to pick me up and I had just gotten out of the shower - he went to go run an errand while I finished getting ready.  But I blacked out after having a phone sex session with a friend in Finland.  When I came to I found the towel I was wrapped in in the track for the sliding glass door and it was 8pm already - I was reminded where I was supposed to be and rushed to get ready.

The 2nd show (either later in the same dream or in a subsequent dream) was in Tucson - I had my nephew here and he climbed into a bed I had in the furthest front room all by himself and said he wanted to watch Marvin the Martian.  So I was trying to get him all set up so I could finish getting ready for concert number 2.  Another blackout session and then we just barely made it... row 2 seat 5.

Human Vultures and Piglets

Frag.
 
I was put in charge of watching a handful of farm animals and a piglet had gone missing.  It was suspected that this cross between human and vulture had taken it as a meal.  To try and track it we chunked up pieces of carrot to use as bait.  I was going to go examine this cross bred vulture, which lived 3 blocks up the way,  but it was getting dark so it got put off to tomorrow.

Awkward Moves and Rubber Shower Cupcakes

I decided I no longer wanted to live here, bought another house and moved.  At first just abandoning the house I have now, but later decided to rent it out.  One room to a newly singled old boyfriend and another to my Mom and my sister.   There was conflict when Mom complained about my old boyfriend bringing girls home.  He pays rent.. he can do what he wants I explained but then asked for some courtesy in the noise level for the other tenant who happened to be my Mom... it was awkward.

---
He sent me some of his latest rubber photography and 2 cupcakes while I was on a road-trip to see him... I ate the cupcakes in the shower of some house we stopped into along the way - they were bigger than normal sized cupcakes and ended up being kind of rubbery and tough to eat... one had spots in it like marshmallows...my phone got a little wet but still worked and I set it on the table outside of the shower while I attempted to eat the remainder of the now shower soaked cupcakes.

Stroller Street Coaster

I had went grocery shopping at some small convenience store and left my bags at the bottom of a steep hill in the grassy area to the right.  I was back on top of this hill pushing an empty stroller and one foot on and one foot to push with to get some speed before the down hill decent.  Once I hit the no turning back point I managed to put both of my feet on the stroller while holding on to the handle to race down this hill... there was a big crowd on either side - apparently my timing was flawed and this was during some other race and I was the first to approach so they started cheering.. but I waved my hand at them to indicate I wasn't involved in what they were there for... and they noticed I was racing downhill on a stroller.  The cheers stopped and were replaced by looks of contempt, but I didn't care.. it was fun and exhilarating to fly down this hill regardless of the transport I was using.  Near the bottom of the hill some nice guy popped out of the crowd and caught me... he said he saw the future and that I had crashed and skinned my knee... and then I told him my plan was to weave into the grassy area for my dismount, but either way I was thankful for his kindness and the lack of injury.   I went to my grocery bags that lay waiting for me in the grass and found they had been rummaged through and some things taken... "that figures": I thought to myself.
