Two More Stress Dreams
A huge airliner taking off over the ocean with engines at full throttle. Slowly gaining altitude. I go into a building and come out a minute later and look over and the airliner is now sinking with only it’s nose cone and engine tips poking out above water.

Cargo Ship
More strange dreams, this one from last night. I’ve taken a few liberties to expand it from the original version.
A titanic interstellar cargo ship flew through the darkness of space for millennia at sub-light speed. The internal sensors pinged solar systems and scanned planets as it passed, searching for signs of life. Then it detected a G-type star surrounded by eight planets and an asteroid belt.… read more “Cargo Ship”

Auntie Em
My dearly departed Auntie Em was a treasure. When I was a little boy, living in poverty with my family in Spanaway, WA, she would take me on various field trips. I remember going to authentic restaurants from other cultures with her and trying many strange dishes. She would take my brothers and I hiking, or to science museums, and on other fun adventures.
