Dreams

8:58am JST Monday 5 January 2009 (day 14166)

In a neighborhood semi-near my house, my host was like, "that's Bill Gate's house, as we went by a small old house that was certainly bigger than my room, but not as big as either of the houses I lived in the US. It was two stories, but like one room per story, and had some kind of grating around it to protect him from fans, stalkers, and ill wishers.

As we were half a block away, he came out, and his back was all hunched over like he had gotten old, and he used his arms as much as his feet to climb outside and to the next room over. We went back to where he had gone in to a pub or something, and he was riding a unicycle inside because that was easier on his back. The unicycle stayed mostly upright, but sometimes he would lean way back or upright, as he rolled around the area. He was among other Microsoft employees, and they ignored his mode of transportation. I wondered about approaching him with the offer of reiki energy, and I began to wake up from my dream.

Upon realizing it was a dream, I was like, "no worries," and dropped all social protocol and went right up to Bill Gates and was like, "I'm going to guide some reiki energy to you," and placed my hands on his lower back. He responded positively immediately, and I just stayed with him, thinking I should tell him that the reiki energy wasn't coming *from* me, but just *through* me, and then his unicycle rolled backwards and I just stayed behind him and went back until we bammed against a shelf in a grocery store. Something fell off the shelf behind us and then toppled in an arc over us and smashed onto the floor: a bottle of liquor. A square bottle, so probably whiskey. I ignored the bottle and a couple of pieces of glass that had slightly penetrated my feet, and just stayed there with my hands on Bill Gates' back.

People started to clean up the glass, and I pulled the two pieces out of my feet and tossed them into the piles. Bill Gates said the reiki energy was wonderful and started to head out the door; I followed him and a woman handed me a broom so I could help clean up the glass. I told her I would be right back, and went outside and then realized it was a dream, so I intended for the glass to be cleaned up; I never went back to clean it up myself, I just used dream-magic to clean it up.

The next dream I don't remember.

But the dream after that:

- - - -

Fred and I were cleaning up my room on a whim; it was about that time, so we were moving stuff around and sweeping and cleaning. He folded up his bed and moved the clothes hanging partition outside the room and I swept up dust and hair and before I could finish, he had unfolded his bed on the other side of the room. I was like, "oh, I still need to sweep that area," and I started to sweep under the bed, and then he was like, "aight, I'm going out to buy another train pass.." and I was like, "what?? why?" and he goes, "I lost my wallet," and I realized the cleanup should have turned up the wallet. I looked over at him to see if he was joking, and his expression of sadness mixed with しょうがないい (sp), plus trying to keep a cheerful outlook on life and not cry, I was like, "ohhh!" and dropped the broom to hug him.

Then I was like, "hey, this is a dream.." and woke up.

I saw that my room was still a mess, and his wallet is right by his bed.

I remember part of the previous dream now.

On a hill in a new area, that was well-trafficked with carts and cars, a river at the bottom and nothing at the top, and some guys offered me some pot, and I was like, "no thanks!" and headed to find some new friends.

Had basically a lazy day at home with Fred. He worked a lot on his project, and I played on my computer, trying to get Inform7 to make a breakable glass window for use as a door, and didn't write a Rob Update. Gotta write a Rob Update. Oh, but I did talk to Ryan about stuff; he's learning Arabic and some martial arts, and plans to move to / visit the middle east this summer. Awesome.

Fred and I went to the ramen shop near Motosumiyoshi station, and then were too full to eat with Ami when she arrived here at my house. She ended up not eating, and we chatted about me wanting to go to Dubai to live for a year (and make several dollars programming), and she wanting to start building a nest and stuff.

Sigh. relationships.

But the good thing was when I was saying bye to Ami at the top of the hill over the train tracks, I was like, "and try to shock me more often; be creativer."

And she got it. She went toward my house as I went toward her house. Perfect.
