so wow i havent had a dream in a couple weeks and then i get slammed with 2 doozies!!
ok first one
i guess im in a book store looking at large format picture books. this one in particular is a book of pictures taken by nike designers or something like that. so im flipping thru the book and i se a picture of a apartment building i lived in in philadelphia. and im so overwhelmed with nostalgia that i decide to go back to visit this appartment. when i get there i find the place is abandoned and falling apart with spiders and webs all over. for some reason all my old stuff is still there. there is a pile of more picture books (in real life i have a habit of hiding stuff in my books like letters and pictures) so i start looking thru my old art books and i find all these old letters and i keep putting them in my pockets, my pockets are getting so ful that i have to stop, but remember ther is one book that has a certain letter that i want to find for some reason, i decide to go up to the atic i get up there adn there are not really ghosts but like holograms of my roomates that lived there with me and i talk to them for a bit. just chatting, then i find a shrink wrapped pallet piled high of more of my books. and its blocking what seems to be a pasage to a smaller room. so the floor is creaky and unstable and its slow dangerous going but i finaly make it to this room, its set up lika an old 1800 living room with all the furnishings in place but covered in webs and dust. i see something moving in the corner of my eye and i fly over to it.(yes i can fly in this dream) there is a old piano in the corner which i remember really well for some reason but dont know from where or when, sitting next to the piano is a stuffed german shepherd all creepy and dusty and its moving when i look away slightly and its mean. i decide that its guarding the piano or maybe waiting for a dead master to come back and play the piano . i start to play it the dog attacks me and i crush it till its just dust. then a real german shepherd appears near the piano and he is real friendly and happy, like i freed him or something, so i start playing the piano and this really great feeling comes over me like i have played this piano before and i suddenly know all these really old songs adn the dog is howling next to me but its in tune and great!
dream 2
me and berto and sven are walking thru the woods for some reason and we see thru the trees some strange looking teenage girls walking thru the woods in some kinda trance. every time someone walks up to one of them they attack them brutally with kung fu. there seem to be more and more of them adn we start trying to figure how we are going to escpae the forrest with out getting killed by these zombie kung fu girls. some how we manage to give them the slip and we find there headquarters deep in the woods in an old mansion. they are like some kind of cult and there is a black robed woman who is ther leader who keeps them in a state of hypnosis. they live in these tiny little rooms with only a bed adn white walls and she appears on the walls in a hologram every morning and tells them to go out and conbert everyone they meet. the hologram is concluded every time with her fighting a bear! and throwing it out of a window! then she turns into a stag and the hologram fades out! so me and berto and sven decide to go and try to stop her. we find her room and she is not there. so we find a staircase that leads down to some kinda labratory. its dark down there and it looks like she has not been here for quite some time. we start lookilng around and we step on a mummified human head that was laying on the floor. it snaps and growls adn howls and is freaking out all over the floor in some kinda frenzy and we are all trying to keep out of its way as it thrashes around the room. it starts telling us somehting about how the cult leader woman did this to him. then she appears in a little ball of light and she is so upset by the sight of the head that she starts crying. the whold house falls appart and disapears and we are back in the forest again just walking around.....
wierd
