Edwin's Dream

The following dream was had by Edwin Shade 2 (who is also Vendellium).

## November 30, 2019

In my dreams last night I was outside, near my home. Nearso, there was a trail upon which I began to walk, with tall thin trees on either side of the meager dirt path that had no doubt been formed from the successive wear of all those who came before me. It was then that a creature I identified as a wombat came whooshing through the path past me like squirrels do when they're scared of you but need that acorn just a few feet yonder in your direction. After surpassing me, the wombat retreated a bit to watch me with it's beady eyes, it's gray fur peeking out in the shrubbery that occasionally blanketed the forest's lowest level.

Unterrified by the wombat, though I was a bit nervous, I continued a slow walk down the path, the wombat rushing past me at least one more. Soon though, the wombat's scampering subsided as my journey offered be a brief period of solitude. I walked a few short paces within the brown, dry, woods, with a pale hoary sky that gave the impression this was currently autumn or winter. This wasn't to last long however, for I then chanced upon an impossibly technicolored clearing, with a sky as blue as the shell of a Robin's egg that fell from a tree.

The grass seemed to glow green, as I looked into the clearing and saw a circular ring of red in which there were four red giant bulbous objects, gently drifting on the ground. It occurs to me that I can not remember if there was grass or felt on the ground inside of the circle, but in any event I knew exactly what these were for. This was a giant form of air hockey, where the pucks were amorphous chess pieces, that I only figured were of pawns and queens/kings because of their height. Otherwise the pieces had no markings. They were all white according to memory, except for one piece that resembled a queen/king, that piece was black.

Now I pushed one of the bulbous objects into one of the amorphous chess pieces, prompting the chess piece to ricochet off of the circular red wall inset about four to six inches in the ground. (For when I said I "saw a circular ring of red" earlier, I meant that there was a slight drop in which the pucks and pushers were located, and the wall of that drop was painted red.) I do not remember if I pushed the pusher again into the puck, but I do remember a rickety wooden concession stand as if this were at an amusement park, located adjacent to the bright verde area. It had a sign with a white background, that I can not recall reading, or even if it had any letters to be spoken of.

Exiting the amusement, I continued once more my walk through the bleakish woods until I came to a bookstore that housed many titles I found interesting. This bookstore had at least two levels, with a layout that exposed the shelves of the second level, since the second level was simply bookshelves against the wall, accessible by a U-shaped walkway on which there was a small parapet to avoid falling, which in turn was accessible by what appeared to be a ladder.

It was here that the first memorable part of my dream ended, and I only remember being in a local store next, with a group of familiar people standing somewhat in a circle, conversing about something. Here I was floating, about a foot off the ground. This is fairly common for me when dreaming actually, as the impulse associated with floating/flying is similar to that made when you flex your ankle tendons. It's difficult to explain, but dream a mile in my mind and you would understand perfectly. Anywho, there I was floating, and at one point I even remember drifting rapidly through the store aisles. It was time to leave however. But before we did, one of the girls in the group pushed me against the wall with one arm (the wall was a few feet away but remember I was floating so it took much less to move me), and gave me a quick soft kiss upon the lips. (She had red lipstick on.) I remember being surprised by this and speechless.

Thinking back to this part of the dream, one cannot help but remember Richard Feynman's word about hypnosis:

"So I found hypnosis to be a very interesting experience. All the time you’re saying to yourself, “I could do that, but I won’t”—which is just another way of saying that you can’t.".
So to, I found my dream self saying that he was perfectly capable of saying something clever at about that point, but no witty remarks were emitted. The girl said something I forget as she went out the door; and as I exited the building as well, I forgot if I said anything either. We next saw each other on another sort of trail which appeared to be a steep incline up a mountain. The fragmentary nature of my oneironautic session tonight prevents me from expounding further however.

It was at this point my dreams, for all intensive purposes, ended.
