- Among many witnesses along a concrete bank of a dark-watered lake, I saw a group of satanic-looking red-hooded figures form a circle with their arms outstretched to each other in the water. A very unserious large white duck quacked its way into the circle, quickly ruining the gravity of the ritual.
- Listening to music on headphones, I looked down & saw not my phone in my hands but a crumbling baked potato that barely held together a pair of batteries.

- The AI-generated images of food in Instacart's recipe section gave me nightmares. Horrid visions of uncanny cured meats. Melted cheese like skin in a pimple-popping video. Sentient pizza. Just gross stuff.

- Plinked coins onto a pigeon's head. The bird wielded me to the top of an indoor slope made of large slabs of cardboard or graham crackers jammed in among other things. I twirled in front of a three-way mirror, took a large styrofoam tube & molded it about my waist like a skirt which turned into bubble bath foam. I chased after a giant papier-mâché puppet down the slope as the pigeon flew overhead & rained coins onto our heads.

[oct 02 2023]
- A popular perfume-blogger & a Russian hockey player got together on a suburban driveway to comment on the borscht-tinted evening sky.
⠀
[sep 27 2023]
- a fenced-in fairytale-themed park with statues of Lewis Carroll & the Mad Hatter among crisscrossing fashion runways starring models with long crimped hair & sloping floor-length cloaks with pockets for their evening-gloved hands
- a gothic b-movie dream-plot about a rich married couple inviting guests to their beachside home, where in the basement of which they performed rituals of birthing sleepy human babies from the ears of nonchalant gray sheep

- In a dark tunnel through a large accordion pop-up book, an angular yellow butterfly stopped in its flight, forming a flat yellow square that floated in mid-air. The ghost of my former pet rabbit reincarnated into a light blue paper cut-out of a hummingbird poking its beak through the yellow square & it froze in that position. I ran off to tell my sister about this phenomenon, but when we came back to the tunnel the hummingbird was gone. We tried looking for it to no avail.

[may 17 2023]
- The Malleus Maleficarum caused the persecution of Catholic saints in this dream, casting medieval nymphs & dryads into trials on a giant chessboard where they faced unfair judgment by playing-card kings that looked like the King of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.
⠀
[may 04 2023]
- Lovely long-haired woman flies nude through the air, with eyes closed & arms crossed over her chest, her long hair lifting her body to an imaginary country where the locals gasp & gather at her soft landing.
⠀
[apr 04 2023]
- Watched the Smashing Pumpkins play Cherub Rock on a clunky miniature portable box TV in an art classroom where I mixed up the plot summaries of two different action films starring the same 1960s actor that my mind just made up, a sort of a British Anthony Perkins.
⠀
[jun 18 2022]
- A 1970s punk dripped chocolate syrup onto a pink rose. I woke up with the chant "I am the fieriest hellfire of hell" on my mind.
⠀
[feb 10 2022]
- A Fantastic Planet kind of dream in which instead of aliens, a tyrannical husband tried to crush his tiny wife. She took revenge by sending a fake body to the hospital to fool & track down her husband.
⠀
[jan 22 2022]
- Had 100s of wings & 5 eyes that multiplied into 25. Felt discomfort as a biblical angel, but the Virgin Mary said I just needed to practice.
⠀
[jul 12 2021]
- Rubbed rose oil onto my knees during figure-skating breaks. Felt the cold rush of cross-overs on ice.
⠀
[jan 01 2021]
- A massive furry gray spider hung against a wall in the dark. I tried to kill it by spraying it with disinfectant.
⠀
[dec 12 2020]
- Visited a Wonderland museum where the Mad Hatter exhibited Alice as a transmogrified neo-Art-Nouveau hippie butterfly chased by a serial killer trucker. Honeybees & maybes seen through a moiré door-screen. Police searched for Alice at a mall as I skulked around in a tall gray coat.
- Rode a roller-coaster through the rooms of a white palace & collided into a long water fountain in an art deco George-Barbier-style party scene filmed in the 1930s where couples danced & blonde women dripped diamonds as water from the fountain rained down upon them.
⠀
[unknown date]
- A nautical Georgian-themed dream with dastardly sword-wielding black-wigged pirates with large nodding feathers on tricorne hats & wide cuffs on black boots & scarlet coat-sleeves.
- A stow-away boy in rags hides within the bowels of a wooden galleon before the dream evaporates.
