The Saturday before the VT tragedyragedy I had this disturbing dream that baffled me on Sunday.
 
In short, "to cut to the chase," in this disturbing dream I was on an American campus and equipped with a whip and was whipping my way forward - creating a path - in a snake infested area.
 
There were menacing snakes everywhere and I was using my whip to "keep them at bay" and keep walking forward to look for a better place to be.
 
I then came to this evil looking species - which looked like a giant scorpion/bug. It was all black but w/ a red claw or tail/stinger. The thing definitely did not look like it belonged on this continent and was so odd and different from all the North American snakes I had encountered.
 
The thing was obviously foreign, consumed with evil and directly in front of me in attack mode.
 
I tried to whip it but was ineffective. I tried again and again and could not move it out of my way. Then suddenly it attacked me and the dream was over.
 
This dream fucked-me-up as everything is going very well in my life. In the dream I experienced an attack on my mortality and wondered if that was going to translate into some kind of fatal disease for me or something in my life. But, that wasn't it. I could tell. And, yet, the feeling of this evil was still there.
 
After I saw the face and eyes of the VT killer I knew it was personified evil I encountered in this dream. The eyes and energy were of this thing and the killer were the same.
 
On the other hand and on a much lighter note, I had this other puzzling dream on Friday night, I was with a younger woman who wasn't my wife and we were "going-at-it" in a luxuriant, spa like bathroom in a very intense & erotic manner. She was so into me - I could tell by her eyes - by the way she was consuming me with her eyes - almost pleading with her eyes and w/ admiration for me to give her all I had --- And, then she was verbalizing that very sentiment = for me to give her all I had = to cum inside her and keep going = she wanted more = all of me = she wanted a baby w/ me............
 
Now this was a wild dream. It wasn't my wife that I just felt so close with in this dream and, furthermore, I never saw this beautiful young woman before. I had no clue who she was.
 
During the day yesterday I thought about the dream and her here & there. Then after sleeping in-the-middle-of-the-bed most of the late morning and early afternoon w/ our little-big Lhasa Apso, Parker Bean, we were out for a "walkie to Milwaukee."
 
We passed the windows of Starbucks and I noticed to girls sitting in the window and could feel them checking me out - so, of course, I acted nonchalant and did not look at them (a sure way to be more intriguing and attractive).
 
Parker and I go into the vestibule area and I was tying him to a door handle there with my back to these young university aged women when I heard one of them exclaim, "OMG! Look how cute and adorable this doggie is." She was standing up and walking toward us. "This is Parker Bean," I stated. She bent down to pet him and looked up at me with these eyes and said, "how about I hold him for you while you go get your coffee, okay?" I couldn't refuse. She seemed to into it and just felt natural and okay. We exchanged names and I left Parker Bean w/ her.
 
When I came back she was sitting on the ground w/ him --- and looked up at me w/ those eyes again --- she seemed so comfortable and was giving off this energy like she didn't want the moment to end --- that she wanted to be part of our pack. Her energy, eyes and body language said it all. And, I could tell. She was the young woman that I dreamt about the night before.
 
She and her friend followed Parker Bean and I until she ran into her mother.
 
I felt ecstatic.
