dreamtime II

i crashed out after work, in most of my clothes, wrapped up like a burrito in duvet. i woke up covered in sweat, a common occurance lately.

I.

there, i dreamt that oliver and i were at burning man, though the environment was more lush (it looked like omega, really). he drove us there in our red VW biodiesel machine. somehow, we accidentally brought yoko the cat. when we arrived we parked near the greeters and i did shifts with them while oliver disappeared, but yoko wasn't doing very well. she was very thirsty and hot. i gave her tiny bowls of water which she drank quickly but still panted and looked bad. i walked around the camp with her in my arms, looking for someone with an RV that had AC. it seemed like she would die.

everyone turned me away for a seemingly logical reason. i even ran into david and he had a trailer with his two cats there, and was lounging there in lamplight looking rather fetching in a top hat with two enormous beautiful male cats laying next to him. it seemed that if i brought yoko into his trailer the male cats would destroy her though, and she was very tiny.

at times, yoko tried to run away, and looked more like steve5's cat mika. i was looking desperately for oliver and for the comforting sight of our red car. i needed him to get me so we could take her to reno, but i couldn't find him. there was a series of disconnected situations where i put yoko in different holding pens , so i could leave to go find oliver, but each way i tried to lock her up was faulty and i coudln't bear to leave her alone in it. there was no resolution, but somehow i woke up.

II.

two very short terrifying burst dreams where a horrible man who was kind of like an evil santa was coming in the window by bed. he was shocking and framed in black, like a flash was going off that would never stop. i woke up with a start. i could not stop his approach, though i kicked him hard in the stomach in one of the dreams.
