another dream. there was a river...entirely saturated with the bodies of humans....some dead, some alive...all washing downstream toward a place of darkness. yes Q, "that" darkness...the one that is so complete and void that it makes an audible sound as it moves. i could smell the decay..a thousand arms reaching to the shore for help. "things" in tattered rags roaming the shore scavenging for limbs to feed from. the earth was rotting beneath my feet and i remember hearing a voice, the same voice as i have heard in my dreams i know not how often repeating the same phrase it always does,..
"there was nothing i could do to stop this."
again, i notice it, this time, unlike before, it is not random. this time it is hoisted aloft upon a banner...why the difference this time, does that mean its getting closer?...does that mean it is inescapable?...does that mean it was planned?
i look up to the banner as i hear the darkness crackle and hiss again...
...its good to wake from your dreams, it lets you put things into perspective and if you wish, do something about them.
i wish i could wake from this one.

Dreams
Z, I have mentioned to you before that I think you should see the movie called 'Akira Kurasawa's Dreams'...I found this and I thought it was apropos. This film is eight short films in one, two of the films being the ones most important to what I want you to see... (tho the entire movie is breathtaking and meaningful beyond belief)
here are the two quick synopsis:
The sixth part, "Mount Fuji in Red", starts with a scene of total chaos. People are running everywhere, in every direction carrying their belongings. It appears that Mt. Fuji is about to erupt, but in truth the nuclear power plant behind the mountain has exploded and the five reactors will explode one by one spewing cancer-causing clouds to form and blow over the people. The man meets up with another man and a woman with her two children. The woman is scared for her children and talks about how nuclear power was supposed to be safe. The man tells them that he was one of the people responsible for the problem and for lying to the people, then he jumps into the ocean. The man tries to protect the woman and her children from the red dusty wind blowing which carries some disease-causing particles.
"The Weeping Demon" involves a man who is walking across a black wasteland when he meets what appears to be a man in tattered clothes. This man was turned into a demon when he survived the attacks of nuclear bombs and missiles. The fallout from the attacks caused the land to turn to black rocks and the plants to mutate. The demon shows the man dandelions as big as humans and roses with stems growing out of them. Humans and animals are also mutated. The animals are so mutated that they cannot be eaten so the demons have worked out a hierarchy- the demons with more horns eat the demons with less and serve their punishment of immortality. The more horns a demon has, the more pain one feels and the more one has done to deserve the horns. The demon's horn has just started to hurt and approaches the man to become a demon also.
