Been using hypnosis to increase my dream recall and incidence of lucid dreams.  Just had another lucid dream this morning, where I was sliding down an underground river (cataract, really) toward a lake and I knew that it was a dream and I had to just relax and “become the water” in order not to drown.

 So I just had an idea for a sequel to the Matrix trilogy.  Everyone cool now knows that reality is breaking up, the spirit world is getting closer, everything is synchronous.  my movie is set in a high school where a guy who watches “the matrix” all the time suddenly starts having lucid dreams, realizing that the Matrix really is a metaphor for some real kind of paradigm shift — and starts haunting this really cute girl’s dreams.  he picks a few other people he’d want to be friends with and forms a dreamgang — but then the other dreamers recognize him in the waking world so he has to explain to them how he developed this ability, then they all develop it —

BUT THEN of course they realize there’s a biggger war of control going on and dark forces chase them around the dream world etc. 

the key is that it could be a true story!  lucid dreaming really is “hacking the matrix”, stories of the supernatural are totally more realistic than news accounts of daily life . . . etc.  so the whole point of the movie is that world culture has hit the crisis point where everyone knows “reality” is a lie —

and furthermore all the psychic combat and the nasty creatures and stuff can be depicted with total realism, no exaggeration, based on stuff that’s really going on right this minute!

Been sick for a couple of days, kind of a climax to two weeks of running around Chicago getting acclimated to a city I’m not embarrassed to live in — a big change from Grand Rapids.  There’s nothing good about Grand Rapids, you know.  I suppose some day I may fall back into that “but it’s nicer in the country” mindset, but the people aren’t nicer or more honest — in fact there’s a higher percentage of disastrous failures.  Bitterness and lying abound.  It’s worse than Hollywood because no one’s even glamorous or wealthy.

 Sigh, I just had to give a shout-out to the cosmos — I blew off most of the people who ever read my blogs back in Michigan, so I am now truly calling out to the thin air — but that’s okay because I can see the spirit world pretty clearly now.  Speaking of which, I have to go off to the fourth dimension now so whatever beings are reading this, thank you for your attention and I’ll be seeing you.

 I am the total cosmos!
