Several Snippets of Other Lives.

Date: 2/28/2018

I was home again, with my parents (who were my grandparents irl) and I went jogging every morning. I did it to get away. They lived in the country and it was very boring and uncomfortable there. They didn't let me be myself. So I went jogging and one day I jogged too far. I got lost. I had no idea how to get back and I couldn't remember their address, street name or anything. I watered into a very small town, into a diner, and told someone I was lost. But they all acted oddly, as if they couldn't help me, but were lyjng. I was sure I gave them enough information, small towns knew everybody. The lady who ran the diner was my aunt, I don't know if I knew that right away, and she offered to let me stay. Well practically insisted, just short of forcing. She gave me some of her dresses to wear I insisted on black as per my usual but as the days worn on I found myself in prettier and prettier normal country dresses. I worked the diner and spent a lot of time with her. When later my parents found me they accused her of keeping me. I was actually in agreement with them but I didn't mind so much. I was glad I had a break from them. I did ask her why she kept me. She said she had tried to keep me when I was a baby, but they took me back. She just wanted to get to know me now, have me for a little while. ~ There was a bus which led to a shadow realm. The guys there were criminal spirits, as if they had been washed of their good bits and merely wanted revenge and hate and were so angry. They used mortals who they trapped and lured to their realm to go back and get some guy who had done some injustice to them. They wanted revenge. A boy got caught up in their machinations. He died several times but time rewound and they kept pulling him in to do their bidding. ~ I was creating lakes on a flat version of reality, a landscape. I made very tall trees and built a house up high to live in. It was so pretty this new scene. ~ Someone put their hand into my chest. It went straight in, like it or I was half in another demension. When they pulled their hand out it was coated in a fine layer of small crystals of all various colours. ~ I was a beast. I was the beast from Beauty and the Beast. I marveled I saw myself that way. I didn't think I would but then it made sense the more I thought about it. This all happened inside the dream, even the thought process. ~ I was watching a clip of some movie which came out in the 1990s (in the dream,) depicting Americans terribly. These guys were completely illiterate, lived in a swamps; were angry, mean. They couldn't remember things, or couldn't learn to read, or something. Something was wrong with their brain. They threatened to eat a lizard creature from another movie who was much beloved at the time, a baby girl from some movie which was likened to Dinosaurs. It was a commentary on behavior Americans indulged in, comparing other cultures to movies, as if one movie highlighted them properly, it was as if now assumed all Americans now were this way. It was a dream commentary on stereotypeing. Some dude was saying to me "what if other cultures thought this was they way Americans were now and came to America assuming and treating us this way?" ~ I was a female werewolf, eating something. Meat. Not evily, or to derive pain, but just hungry and eating. A few times I thought about being evil, my human definition of evil, but the thought evaporated in favor of honest hunger. ~ I was working at a university, or attending, and I got married. I had a husband and he was a bit controversial in his thinking. Ahead of his time, computers and things. He was being hunted for his dipping his fingers into things. I think he pissed off a crime gang by thwarting them a time or two. He eventually had to disappear, going into a dark deep hole and only coming out to see me, basically seeing life from behind a screen. He was very good at pissing people off from wherever he was. Anyway eventually he got tired of hiding and had the boss take his place, locking him up in some tiny dark hole because he didn't believe in killing. He did take the boss's place and masqueraded as him for a while. He then got lax about that disguise and kept meeting me like normal. We had a good life. He was very talented. He could escape death and rewind time. One day the gang caught me and killed me in a grocery parking lot. Iwas pregnant at the time. But he rewound time and saved me. After that it was a cat and mouse game, him playing defense trying to keep us safe. I had the baby once, was in the hospital caring for it, it grew really fast, and could talk almost immediately. But time had to rewind, something happened, and I was just pregnant again. But a boy who had been killed also came back to life, the one from above a pawn for the shadow realm guys who my husband had pissed off. Finally it came to a head when he disappeared on me and went to the gang, meeting them and paying them off electronically to keep us safe. But they didn't care and shot him in the head just as I got there. Then they shot me. He used his talent to be able to escape death, pulled his essence into whatever available vessel was near until he could come back. He took both me, and him, and our baby into the body of a nearby girl who was hurt or dead. All of us in the same shell was too much however. And we had no place to go, our bodies were dead.
