5/12/02 - Cindy Schuman dream:
My good friend Cindy Schuman had cancer. I kept calling her at her mother's. She was on chemo.
We discussed the Mayor's plan to flood certain streets in Chicago, then it would turn into a giant iceberg. Only the most talented and smartest people would be re-located.
There was a concert in some classroom. I came to visit.
I remember talking to a young violinist. He wore mittens to protect his little fingers. We discussed finger technique for violin and the bow. Things I know absolutely nothing about. The only strings I ever played was the Bass for a few short weeks in H.S.

3/2/02 - Dream - Pigskin
- I kept saying "suppose we could find a way to duplicate skin. First choice was "pigskin". Next was wool (sheepskin). [*See Note Below]

- Also looked at porcelain and plastic arts and crafts - red and white.

- It was profound. No one would shut up - they kept yacking, interrupting with a bunch of small-talk.

- The "doc" kept listening - kept eye contact.

- I got very frustrated - I was not getting any help or feedback.

- I was in a conversation with a friend, who turned into a lday doctor. The sweetest, smartest woman I'd met.

- She asked me how I like my chest. (I had just had a cosmetic operation to fix that, in real life, not in a dream, btw.)

- I told her I loved it - "Too bad we couldn't duplicate it"

- She immediately picked up on in and stopped me and said "Allright, let's think about it."

- She put her hand on my shoulder and we turned and walked into a great room - a "think Tank"

- Many samples lay all around - like a store.

- One item was a big "Dictionary of Knowledge" - a knowledge base - or lab.

- I sat at the head of the table and lead the discussion, but it was all like "Alice in Wonderland" - no one was focusing - they were like kids - retarded.

(Right now, as I'm typing this, Marine is talking about how the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts were making oil out of 'hemp', before they decided to corner the market on oil???) He of course is high, and we are at work, no less. (Today is Saturday, May 22, 2004)

---------

- I woke up 10 mins. before alarm (Dream - Sat. 1:30-3:30am)

*Note: The next day, Scott told me that he had just gotten a book he ordered in the mail off Ebay - "Soilant Green" - it talks about life in the future - people are so desparate, they eat each other's flesh! Hmmmmm.

6/2 Dream Idea

"The ozzners are showing their ability to distract." - a msg sort of in a songlike form.

---------

"We [Italians] have given our right arms for you."

Song:
- Bach's "Tocatta and Fugue" - merged with "Listen to the Lambs" (Thought of Jeanne)[my childhood piano teacher]

Song:
Composed by John Ireland:
- "The towing (?) Path"
- "Merry" or "Mary" (?)

Cartoon Idea: "That Iracius Opposum!" (See illustration in folder)
------------

Sing song: (Verse I)

"Irascible Possum I is - I am

I'm off to beg for some food.

I go to market and dance for the queen,

For currant and parsley beet stew! (See Illus)
----------- (Verse II)

- Bouncin'oppossum I yim, I yam

I'm off to lay in the road.

I've run to town, and now lay down,

To stare the night away. (See ILlus.)

---------- (Verse III)

- A-ronius possum I yim, I yam,

I eat crayon ice cream and clay!

I bit a fat sow and made her go "yeow!"


And screamed at the children all day!

Song/Poem - sung to "An Artist's Life" - Strauss

"Knit me a story
Upon my fair arm
Of furries and cats and deeds.

I'll sing you a ditty
And ferry you on
With a swish and a quiver and quail.

2 Songs:
1.) "Carnival" opus 9 - Robert Schuman - piano solo (Haunting, long)

2.) Ralph Von Williams song (?)

12/19/00 - Dream with Jeanne and Keith:
- Jeanne and Keith were driving somewhere over the scene from Earth.

- Keith pointed his finger "Over there", and looked over and saw her photo exhibit featured at an exhibition (Musorgskys Pictures at an Exhibition?)

- It was at something like the "Old Town School of Folk Theatre and Film."

- We went to the Grand Opening with many fancy cars and famous couples - people from life.

- I just felt so belittled that HER little exhibit could get so much attention and "hype." I wondered why I couldn't do that - like with her confidence and execution?

- Keith replied "Just DO it! It's up to you!"

9/1/00 - Dream (First of September)
- The 1st day of Sept. - my all-time favorite month!)
---------

- I was James Bond, and had several women, including the mischevous "Pussy Galore."

- We had gone to a huge facility of some type - and everyone knew me as if I were a legend of some kind.

- We were secretly there, not as visitors, but to find the bomb that was buried there.

- As we were leaving - she noticed it was buried underground, beneath our bed.

July 9, 2000 - Children's Book Idea:

Song:

7/9/00 - Dream:
- I was working in my corporate job (all things there, and all the people were familiar to me "on the job").

- I noticed that Tommy Barg (who was also in our office), was getting all the new upgrades to his office - all expensive oak - the only air-conditioned room - new desk, etc.

- So, I got the bold idea that I wanted it all, too - so, I just moved right in. It was a recently vacated office in his "dept."

- I just started helping myself to all the best stuff. The boss just "realized" it was the right thing to do!

- The message was as if I was home at last!
------------

- Today it was revealed to me that I am right where I'm supposed to be! (Perhaps the music book and the publishing of it - all things point that way!

---------
- Also - I may be a part of some archetypal "trio" - Mindy, myself and maybe someone else from N.M.?

PIANO SOLO TO LEARN:
- 3rd Movement of John Noels Cain's "Four Characteristic Pieces" (American Composer)

ODe to Joe:

We've had our share of breaks and spills
Of that we can be sure.
From the Penthouse to the Pool
The "doctor" had a cure.

When there was fire or flood or ice, one number for to call
Our 9-1-1 was always heard, and Joe was on the ball.

With age, o'er time, a house doth creak,
Our building heaved a sigh -

To some, this "concrete anti-Christ"
Made noise enough to die.

And o'er the din came threats and sneers,
United naysayers all,

The "Joy Luck Club" brought vaudeville back

While rumors filled the hall!

Of all the milestones, big or small,
We raised our standards high -

Whether Com Ed, or even AT & T
No matter what they bring

Our Camelot was you, dear friend,
And all your schedul-ing.

Our values soared sky high these years
With Lancelot, our King!

Dream - Father's Day - FUll Moon
#1 - I saw Jamie standing by himself and he saw me coming up to him. I stopped. He was limping on his right leg. He appeared to instinctively "know" I came in Love.

- He paused, then reverted to his preconceived notions of hatred and resentment.

- Then he ran over to be with a female, we both knew - maybe Linda Hubbart?

#2 - My brother Tom (in real life) was sitting in the front seat of a car, and I was right behind him, comforting, "loving" him, stroking his hair and hugging him.

- Suddenly, I saw an old friend standing up - out of his wrecked car - from drinking and driving - it was either Erik (Danny's old friend), or perhaps Dave Sobol.

- We passed him by, as we sped along this sort of path in time.

- I was crouched down in the seat, so as to be safe from some evil "presence" - a darkness we were passing through.

- But, I was protected from this evil force, as long as I stayed low. We passed by my old H.S. and also Jeanne and Bob's house. (My H.S. music teachers.)

Dream:
#1 - Had this plan to form an entertainment group of performers, similar to "The Temptations" or "Supremes" (sort of a hot-girl-dominated Four Tops.)

- We were actually going into rehearsal. I walked up the aisles from the back of the outdoor theatre, up to the front of the stage, during sound check, and I just "had" or "commanded" the attention of everyone as being the head of the studio, or the producer, or even the director - It was as if I were "born" to be there!

#2 - I confronted Joe (Prop.Superv) about something I thought he said about me - "Those fucking shades" - and he admitted saying something similar "Those fucking screens."

- But that was because they were up all over the place, and he thought it was or could be "perceived" as a nuisance.

- I remember, in real life, while I was on a phone call in my apt. - a voice bled in that sounded just like Joe, and I heard him say something like "That fucking Steel [my nickname].

Dream: "Mrs. Leigh - she (you) was the town physician's wife. You're not to tell anybody for reasons you well know.

5/14/00 - Dreams
#1 - A Maharishi or Monk opened a door and just stood there!!! (see illustration)

#2 - A wise man was standing , dressed in a cheetah headband, which was long, and hung down in front, making a scarf! (see illustration)

Dream:
- I was 5 hours late for my new shift, due to car trouble, sickness.

- There were kids packing, moving the contents to a new vehicle.

- I had been sick and there was a father figure there that was of no help - my family unit.

- The new vehicle (moving truck) that I was to use to get to work - was left in gear, somehow, and backed itself into a corner, and couldn't be budged.

- A divine intervention came and it got it out of the predicament.

- Next, someone came to me and told me "You will be entering a totally new level, once you get back from your trip to Washington D.C."

- This new level is one of extreme peace and satisfaction. (It turned out to be prophetic, in real life!)

2/1/00 - Earthquake Dream:

- We were on the edge of a beach when an earthquake hit.

- I looked up and was standing under some columns, so I ran out onto the water (which was green marble and curved like the earth).

- There were earthquakes there all the time - not to worry.

- I had to go back to my part-time job [back with Veronica at United Stationers], but would meet the rest of my party there, tomorrow.

- There was a man standing there, sort of behind a ticket counter. He said I could have a job anywhere with his outfit, and offered me his card.

- The next day, we went to the beach (sunny day). We had fun.

- As we were ready to leave, one lady said: "Let's stay till tomorrow."

- We told her it was too cold. But, we'd like to come back tomorrow, when the sun was warm.

- She agreed. So we did. Then I woke up.
