One of the side effects is strange dreams. Usually memory of the dream fades quickly when I wake. I&#8217;m just left with the knowledge I had a weird dream. Until recently the dreams involved strangers. Then I started dreaming of people I knew or knew of. Hang on, this is going to be a long one, a strange dream anthology, but I &#8220;get&#8221; the girl in the end.<\/p>\n<p>The first dream I remembered was a strange chiropractic dream. I walk in and it&#8217;s a theatre setup. Four tables on stage and theatre seating to wait in. Bill Clinton was walking around chatting up people. I didn&#8217;t get to talk with him as my chair starts up and drives around the room as I frantically try to stop it or at least steer it. A Dr. finally stops it and adjusts my neck by grabbing my head and lifting straight up until my necks pops. On my way out an Asian receptionist pulls a gun on me and take all my money.<\/p>\n<p>I only recall a short ending fragment of the next. I was with Richard Ruhl\u200b in his new Mustang, leaving Mark Potillo\u200b&#8217;s. We&#8217;re driving down a snowy street when a car passes us on the left, hangs a hard right in front of us and crashes into parked cars in a driveway. Rich hit the brakes and never touched him but the drunk staggers out of his wreck, trying to blame RIch for the accident. I woke up as I was dialing 911.<\/p>\n<p>The 3rd had more people I know and was a craft filled dream. I pick up an &#8216;Ice Diamond&#8217; afghan from a bed. Clipped to it is a Polaroid dated 1987 of Amee Chambers\u200b looking fine in a bikini. I go into another room and Mom and Amee are lighting dozens of oil candles. I follow Mom into the kitchen and she&#8217;s making pies with Christye Von Nida Jefferson\u200b using gadgets from QVC to make pie crust. One mixes the crust, a wringer device rolls the crust, and another perforates the top crusts with a lattice. Every flat surface in the kitchen is covered with dozens of pies either waiting to go go in the oven or cooling off after baking. I wake up waiting for a cherry pie to cool enough to cut into.<\/p>\n<p>OK, we finally made it to this morning&#8217;s dream with denizens of Kennealy&#8217;s and another reincarnation. Christopher Gustave\u200b is working on a big table. I never see his face. He&#8217;s always head down working on his piece. He takes a short break from it and makes a shadow box with assorted objects including 4 spark plugs. He hands it to me saying, This is you, Steve.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In another room a group of people, including the girl,\u00a0 are pouring over inventory lists, looking for hard to find rare objects that people need. I join in and find they have a obsolete printer cartridge an orphanage in East Berlin needs.<\/p>\n<p>Next we&#8217;re at Kennealy&#8217;s Pub\u00a0 Jamming are Donny Bee\u200b,\u00a0 Bryan Rustle\u200b, 2 drummers, Bill Wheeler with a full kit , behind and to the right\u00a0 of Bill with a jazz kit is B Darrell Phelps\u200b. There may have been other members in the band. I wasn&#8217;t paying much attention. I was involved a hot and heavy performance of dueling tongues with Penny Lane.<\/p>\n<p>I try to talk Penny into going somewhere private and taking it further. She says she has to wait until she turns 18 on 11\/22. But she wants me to show up on the 19th to warm up. That&#8217;s about 4 months away. I can&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/So9Ee64XYsY\" target=\"_blank\">Stange dreams<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My primary quack? prescribed a new drug about 3 weeks back.
