Borderlands

Was playing borderlands with ian and alex. Last session didn’t save, and I knew this because I had my grenade mod unequipped. We were supposed to have met Jesus and “fought the cockroaches”.

Later, a party thrown by some people on a big hilly lawn. The host is trying to do magic; I get called to participate. My card is the 7 of hearts. He pulls my card correctly, but he says to look at the wall while he produces our card; not very convincing.

Twitch

Twitch was alive, in a tank, but with some very large (for the tank) bipedal parasite monsters. I’m not sure who arranged this. I witnessed a parasite monsters accosting twitch, and then saw twitch’s belly was open, entrails hanging out. The monster slurped up the entrails. I think I tried to reload a previous save game to fix the situation.

IRL Context

Twitch was a goldfish I had from 2009 to 2023

Baseball

I was trying out for a little local baseball game. It was a summer afternoon. I had a buddy there too but I’m not now sure who it was. As my buddy was trying out I was rummaging through my bags for my sunglasses. I had great difficulty finding them. I did discover that this entire time I had put a playstation 1 in the bag, and I saw a few SNES controllers too. Why they were there and why I was lugging them around in my daily carry backpack I have no clue.

Cruise Ship

On the bow of a cruise ship, watching it sail. We crash through some thin docks, apparently to no ones agitation.

We’re disembarking, I guess, because theres a ton of people around and in the halls; it’s hard to get by. I go to the bathroom but I realize I’m barefoot, disgusted I go back to our room to get my sandals.

On my way I realize I forgot the way back. I pass a posh room and turn away from it; we’re surely not in there. I find an elevator with an attendant who I ask for directions. After I finally begin to recognize some of the areas. I get in the elevator along with someone else who I thought I recognized from earlier.

Church

Matthew was going to this church. It was near our nyc house, walking distance. I started to go and must’ve gone a few times given some of the papers that I had. Something about the pastor I did not like. We were talking about eating people, and for whatever reason they were trying to persuade me it was ok. I finally wore down and said fine in emergency situations but not outside that. But they seemed to include eating people in their religion.

Car Wreck

In a desert. Driving with relatives I dont know or have. They’re in a big SUV and I’m not sure they know what they’re doing. We’re in a sandstorm, and sand is filling up all the gauges. The woman driving has it locked in 4th gear and going 70 mph. She doesnt see a blue mustang lose control up ahead, and we smash into the pileup. Because our vehicle was so big we continue through, up the side of a dune and flip into a field of cacti. It’s also a cliff and we’re dangling over small pool. We dislodge and fall into the pool, scrambling to get out of the water.

Night King

An entity wants to kill people by tricking them. They can get out if they’re perceptive, but mainly it is kill it before it kills you.

Mark is flying in to meet me and some friends. Maybe work friends, ruth is there. Maybe this is a team building opportunity.

On a roof, matthew is locked in with a climbing hook, I’m holding onto him until I can get up. It looks like a supermarket shelf. Someone comes by and antagonizes me, turns out it was the monster in disguise. I was tricked and had to be saved.

Helldivers

I dreamt of a town built into a mountain. Unspeakable horrors were beneath the mountain, and the town had commissioned droids to fight the horrors and keep them at bay.

I ask the local scientist to explain the physics of the darkness spell. Something went wrong, the droids were overrun, the horror escaped. We had to sneak around helldivers style to avoid enemies, some of whom were automotons from helldivers.

Progressive

I was working at PGR still, but I guess I was in facilities because I had to fix a sagging wall in a bathroom. I guess there was a lot of water damage or something and there was gunk pooling behind the paint.

Ryan Haffey opened a new position on his team, and Ruth emailed me about it.

I also found that the owner of Nubeigel was selling their cabin/vineyard and we got the inside scoop, so Lisa and I drove out to see it. On the way we crashed into every car on the way like in a video game because the handling was so poor.

GTA

Dreamt I was in a gta game. Supposed to be southern California? Or somewhere else maybe on an island. People called it Yuba.

Walked past a store selling the SLF450X jet car from midnight club 2. Amazing to see it up close, and open the cockpit. Walked around the back, it was extremely wide and low to the ground, although this model didn’t seem to have the jet engines in the back, maybe consumer grade.
