Flagg

Flagg is a supernatural power from The Stand. Dreamt he was challenging me and using my cpap was not a good idea. I took it off.

Later dreamt of an animal at night, something with blades on its front to eviscerate. I was tasked with putting up something I can’t remember what, and needed to cut through a fence to do so. I left the area and came back at night. To return I had to duck through the portion of fence id cut but honestly it was a big portion. Walking to a tree stand I figured would provide safety for the night, one of those animals attacked me.

Monsters

Monsters; something about white alligators that hopped like grasshoppers, some Star Wars droid aliens over the river attacking me as I tried to flee.

We had some repairs done around the house. Looks vaguely like anias place but certainly no place id been before. We needed help mounting something to the ceiling and repairing some drywall. An older guy did the drywall; he left us a portrait of him. A younger pair of white guys helped with the ceiling fixture. For some reason, all I needed to do was screw something in fairly straightforward but I had a harness or something that held me parallel to the ceiling made out of my ratchet straps that I was trying to set up. The guys snickered, and made me feel insecure about my ability to fix things.

Farmhouse

New house, more like a farmhouse. Lisa is going to decorate for the fall and wants to put hay bales in the space partially open to the outside. Theres a wooden staircase that goes up and to the second story of the farmhouse. Lisa unfortunately brought the smallest size of hay bales possible so she had to get more bigger ones. Some man says we can come to him for help.

Broken Nebraska

In china or something. Mustve bought an old palace. Everything, even the stairs leading to the plaza were hewn by hand. Trying to grow things but it all turns out as weeds like my backyard. I would like to raise cattle and goats and chickens.

Some girl picked plants and I sit down to review and identify them.

Much later I invite my family over. Unsure what to make given no crops and very anxious. Moms not helping. Matt is not helping. I get upset and break my nebraska beer mug from undergrad to threaten my brother with. I dont think I actually have it any longer in real life but I was so dismayed at having broken it. I show the pieces to robert.

Britain Lunch Line

In britain, perhaps working, pgr must have moved. Had a team meeting previously, sobum was managing us now and mentioned that this had been a hard difficult year. I recall feeling good connecting and chatting with him. We were doing some weird team building exercise that involved some mimeing; I remember being prompted to act like i was sprinkling something in my eyes.

We watched a movie with Megans group. We were at anias apartment in nyc though. A slight shift in setting, the movie came alive and the actors were performing amidst the doors and halls of my grandmothers apartment. One was from downton abbey who played the head butler. The other I dont know. I asked someone else watching if they were in show business because they were very good. They mentioned the man was, and I felt dumb for asking, of course, I must have forgotten after a nap.

SJ for President

We decided SJ Ahn should cancel his bid for local government and run for president. In an auditorium, kevin scrambled to get out his discord app and play the “that’s great” clip.

Some weird survivor type game. Andrew and I and some odd people. One of them is suicidal, and he is gonna jump off the roof. I drive against traffic to get around the building to the roof, another goes separately. We make it and restrain the guy, forcing him to do a split under a rail so be cant easily get up. Back on the beach andrew complains about how he had to kill a small bird egg, and how it’s unfair that teammates turned against him for that.

Heavy Rain

Heavy rain. Wearing a new raincoat. Need to walk to the back of the backyard, several times. Raincoat is excellent. Lisa on the phone?

Chinatown

Lisa and I in NYC. We see the hill to my grandmas house. A boy like McCauley Caulkin is trying to get up the hill but keeps sliding back down. I say it’s a 30-40ft climb, quite steep.

We come out of the train station near chinatown. Lisa asks me if we had kidney(liver?) dumplings before, I said no but I didn’t care to try it. We double back because I knew there was a car we could use. Seemed like someone’s custom built roadster. We speed off and as we pass a building, the whole side of it starts peeling off.

Contractors

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.

Robert

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.
