“What we do in the shadows” type situation, but less funny.

I live in a house with several other vampires. Unsure if I’m one myself, probably.

Go to disneyland, I use a dream-like trance to determine if I want to go on a motion ride. Nope, still not for me.

Some freeloader is lighting fires and digging tunnels outside our building. The neighbors get upset.

My PC is out of its case, propped up precariously on a table. Some audio wire with clips connects two parts of the motherboard. I’m fiddling with it during commercials to get the sound quality right.

Cars in the driveway but the driveway is a crumbling ruin of stone and rusted rebar. I’m worried it will fall on our cars. Lisa’s car actually has a ruinous floor above it that will surely fall soon.

Contractors are over my house. They’re a bunch of men my age, but feels like they’re high schoolers. Theres something about them here to paint, something about an eye doctor ordering dark walls for the house. I’m not entirely sure why they’re here though so I’m nervous. I ask if they can take a look at the deck while they’re here.

Super vivid. Robert living on campus, and I was expecting to go back to live at UNL for a two year graduate degree. Lisa was here touring the campus. We saw Sara the fitness trainer from PGR, but also another “fitness trainer” who was named steven but he was teaching git and he looked sort of like daniel day lewis with a pony tail. I’m thinking he was an old professor of mine. I stop to ask steven where he was teaching, what his schedule was.

I dreamt that I was able to encode a physical piece of pork belly into a computer system. It accurately represented the object’s fundamental nature. We could use it to 3d print the pork belly and it appeared very natural, but we are limited by the technology of our time to fully reproduce the food such that it can be eaten. I presented the work to Ryan Haffey at work.

I’m resting. Looks like a parking lot or something. Shujie walks by; shes returned to progressive but now shes some chief financial officer type. Shes leading a cadre of workers talking some business stuff about the company.

On a flight. Ask flight attendant if we’re able to pick up radio transmission from jets behind us. Alex shakes his head no — I suppose thats not how light works here. The attendant wants to know the time, and she says “oh thanks, Mickey” to her Disney themed watch.

Laert and his girlfriend stayed over at my house with lisa while I was away for some reason. I remarked on how cold it was where I was (it was actually very cold, Louisville without heat). I felt weird that he was at our house.

At a church event, people are talking about abortion. I get up and say they’re saying the same things over and over, making big circles with my hands, since I was a kid in church. Some of the older folks deride me. I talk to one of the older ladies about what the communication barrier was with the younger generation. Idk what she said.

Andrew constructing a crazy underground lab. Several stories underground. Single wide shaft goes down. We visit “the post office” where there was a single computer and router, and took 5 min to get down. Matt and dad were there too. Andrew wanted me to spend lots of time doing some coding on this project (can’t remember what the facility was for).

I ask if we could forward some ports so I can work remotely since it takes so long to get down there (and secretly I’m afraid of what Andrew awoke in the depths). Or if he was okay hosting the code on GitHub so I can push remotely. I ask if the post office was the only place down there. Andrew chuckles and says he didn’t want to reveal everything at once.

Giant high school reunion in a swamp.

See people like Brian Jung, Julie Kim, other random people. Julie Kim in particular says hi and it’s awkward. Some of the popular kids were living in tents in expensive cities. I remember realizing that that could be a possibility now.

I give out some computer puzzle, evidently I’m leading some of this. One guy figures it out, it’s a puzzle that prints out some ascii art of a halo scene, and when zoomed just right the moiree makes it look 3D. Others are having trouble because they have macs and I coded it in git bash on windows.

A corpse is talking to me from a bed. His poster with Mona lisa eyes is in the window. He is asking about a book, about raising the dead. I begin to talk to him. My brother arrives. He tells me this person is of some notoriety. The corpse is silent. Brother informs me the corpse had been trying to use me to get the book so it can reanimate itself. I had been talking about giving it the book to my brother earlier, not knowing it was a corpse, not knowing what it sought, weighing the options. I am betrayed by the corpse. The eyes in the window follow me.

I dreamt I was living in some apartment complex. There was a notice that they were removing a particular sort of tree from outside my unit. I went to go see and maybe take a picture, and Matt Damon was there so I asked him if he would take it for me, since he obviously is a world renowned photographer. He took two shots and talked for a little bit. I did not look at the shots.
