Sleeping with The Ringer




4/29/2023 -


Same dream I've had a million times now. I'm attending classes in the Invisible College and I'm completely blowing them off. I'm actually sort of impressed with how I'm blowing them off in this scenario. Like, wow, I'm really blowing these classes the fuck off. In fact, I remember that I vowed to never take them again and when I remember this I promptly get the hell out of the school as quickly as possible. Except that later my waking self remembers that I am in fact supposed to be taking that one history class. That's the only one that really matters. This dream version of me doesn't really seem to understand this unfortunately.


Now I'm at my mom's old place on Beacon Hill. I'm just lying in bed and staring at the ceiling when I realize something. I never ever wanted to move back in with my parents, and yet I've now done that on multiple occasions in the dream world, with both my Dad and my Mom. I have in fact had these dreams over and over again now, particularly about being back in Ohio. I will say that I accidentally moved to the same city that half of my family then ended up moving to, which was not something I planned at all and I do now live in the same metropolitan area as both of my elderly parents. And no, that would not have been my choice if I was given a choice there, it just happened. I must confess that I have never really put those two things together before.


Anyway, after lying in bed for a while doing nothing in dream Beacon Hill, my wife's old boyfriend comes upstairs and for unknown reasons wants us to put together a list of our favorite songs that they play regularly on KEXP. This is a bit of an odd question considering I don't listen to KEXP very often at all. The only track I can come up with is an unspecified Sonic Youth song. Strangely, I know exactly what this means in the waking world as cryptic as it would seem and yeah, it does seemingly have to do with me blowing off a project I was considering at the beginning of the pandemic.


As I pull out of the dream into hypnagogia I'm further informed of something else I blew off last week. Fair point. That is in fact something I was supposed to be working on and I did not do a great job with that last week. Gotcha. Need to do better on that front.

First the liminal visions, I am a disembodied form of consciousness looking down at a school from on high. What I'm trying to do is manipulate the behavior of the students in said school, but what I'm actually trying to do is get them caught in this translucent vortex of energy that's swirling in the middle of the school. So all I'm really trying to accomplish is feeding these students into this energy matrix and the matrix sort of does the rest as far as creating whatever narrative I'm supposed to be helping manifest.


Later I'm hanging out in my parent's old place in Ohio and Luka Doncic is for some reason hanging out with me. After chatting with me for a little bit, I ask him if he'll do me a favor. What favor do I want? Well, I apparently play old people pick up basketball regularly and I want him to come cook us for whatever reason. He completely agrees to do this while marveling at the wood paneling in my bedroom. I must confess, the wood paneling is choice.


At the pick up game there's only 6 of us, the other team gets the first pick and they obviously pick Luka. I'm kind of hilariously irritated by this. Of course I bring a ringer to my pick up basketball game and it completely backfires on me. I concede that it'll still be fun to try and guard him and get absolutely smoked.


The next thing I know I'm in bed lying next to a naked Luka who's face down ass up beside me. We've apparently just had sex and now a black woman with a very large backside joins the party naked, again face down ass up next to Luka. I start licking her bulbous ass and try to get Luka to join in, but he's not interested and casually slides out of bed. I must confess that this is the first time in the entire history of my dream life that I can remember having gay sex. It was really implied gay sex but still, I seemingly had zero issue with it and it didn't seem odd until I woke up. Fascinating.
