Dreamt lisa and I were watching pride and prejudice, but I had changed the language settings to some weird one where they were still speaking english but it was a totally different uninspired dub. I could not fix the sound.

We went to a pride and prejudice festival instead. Some high school friends were there, and Tim Chen was doing standup. It was a mediocre set.

Gas was $60 a gallon inside the fair grounds. We had gotten bikes to move around but they were kids bikes.

Driving a car into a market.

The first initial setup is some medieval castle thing where you can drive up to your own castle. Looked like a paintball map.

We got out and walked. Many vendors with lots of good food. Someone thrust a bun into my hands and told me the price was “.50 more than 1” and I agreed but was having a hard time keying the amount into the system. A white guy was getting impatient behind me. After the sale I followed him and said some racist things.

In band again. This time I’m assigned to play a strange bass or tenor guitar I have no idea how to play. It’s electric too. Austin Kim from high school sits next to me, but it’s more likely Dong meen. The conductor begins, and I’m immediately lost. Dong Meen nudges me, whispering my name urgently. I don’t know the notes or the hand positions, much less where we are. A solo is coming up; Dong Meen takes the guitar out of my hands and starts to play the solo. I want to die, I want something to kill me.

Daniel hahn drinking a sprite. Something unfair.

Andrew, dad and Matt trying out a game I found. Must have been futuristic VR.

We’re astronauts. I’m testing out whether they’d have the heart and skills to save someone in space or something, but it changed to whether they can save themselves. I put a button on their controller to slow down the velocity of their derelict, and a twist to stop the rotation. I was supervising; Andrew and dad stopped spinning, but Matt was having trouble. We joked for a moment until his situation spiraled out of control, and his craft broke apart. He was headed toward the planet, we were in fairly low orbit. I awake.

Prior; driving my car through mountainous terrain in the rain. Started up a path through a switchback but Google suggested it would take 3 months to get by. Able to reverse time so I can get back to where I started. I recall a beach, boardwalk.

For some reason I believed we were dead. After death is a shadow realm, a mirror of the real world.

I’m at home with my family in ny. Not just my family though, some others there too. Someone like Ivana? It’s thundering out, and we’re concerned about electrocution. We know some advice is to minimize contact with the ground. I jokingly lay face first on the ground. Other times we’ve got one foot on the ground, one in the air and we’ve joined arms, as if some sort of lightning-proof pose. I am concerned about my PC. I’m in my underwear.
