Dreams galore last night and today. Intense, adrenalin-filled dream elements. One dream dealt with a script or program for a toy that I had worked on while at LeapFrog. A technician was confronting me with the fact that I had set the delay intervals between interactions to a uniform 2 seconds. He was pointing out that doing so did not work in all cases. I was trying to tell him that the settings were placeholders since the product had not been fully tested before it was pulled from the production list. I mentioned that if the product were reinstated then testing would need to be done and the settings could be adjusted.

He was stuck pointing out that the settings were not correct. It was a frustrating discussion. At one point, he implicated the settings to be one of the reasons that someone associated with the product had died. I noted that that conclusion made no sense whatsoever and that the two issues were not even remotely related to each other. The person's death was a completely random event and could not be tied to what I had done on the product script months ago.

The dream dissolved without coming to any sort or resolution.

A second dream involved me being chased or hunted by a group of wraiths. For some reason, they were after me and they kept materializing in odd and frightening ways. One thing they were able to do was to attach themselves to eaves or ceilings. When I ran past where they were clinging, they would drop down and come after me. After a while, I knew what they were doing and was somewhat more successful at avoiding them and the places they were hiding.

The dream continued for quite some (virtual) time and finally gave way to deep sleep.

Today, when I took a nap, I had a dark dream that was scary. I was in a room or apartment near a tunnel that carried traffic past the place. I was there with an ex-wife and two children. There was a room with a mirror. When I sat across from the mirror, I could see myself and the room reflected. But every so often, The image in the mirror would transform and I would see approaching traffic or the mirror seem to grow larger and move toward me.

I remarked to the ex-wife that I was experiencing these hallucinations. I told her that something inside me, in my mind or consciousness, had shifted and that I could see things that others could not. Some of the things I saw, were premonitions of future tragic events.

In the dream, I kept seeing things in the mirror or the mirror shifting and zooming. I became frightened at some points and tried to turn away, but could not do so. I had to watch each scene to conclusion. At some juncture, I awoke because of the intensity of the images.

Took L to breakfast this morning and we walked for a while near the baylands. She had to get busy with her to-do lists before the weekend disappeared. I went for a quick trip to TJ's to pick up some odd items and ended up at the MP street fair. It was near the closing time so I just grabbed a sandwich and finished my errands. Had fun dancing last night. Didn't remember the Pirate's dance even though I've drilled it several times.

Cooler now, at last. Have dentist, chiropractor and Qigong class tomorrow. Plus spending more time on figuring out my life. Maybe my life is really happening in my dreams and all of this other stuff is just illusion. The old butterfly/man puzzle over and over.

Macbeth's speech came to me today and then disappeared. I looked it up and it's the "She should have died hereafter" speech with "tomorrow and tomorrow" passage. What makes the mind remember such things? Maybe it's but a dream--aye, there's the rub... Uh, Oh! Another one.
