Man, I had a really wierd dream last night.
Okay, it starts out with me
sitting on my bed reading my book, and I'm almost done with it and I'm
thinking about looking for the next book I'm going to read so it'll be
ready when I finish this one. In any case, then I'm on my motorcycle with
a backpack and stuff riding out of town in some unspecified direction
towards this strange little town out in the middle of nowhere that looks a
lot like an industral zone. There are people walking around and stuff, I
park my bike and go into this video arcade (it is modeled after this one
on this boardwalk in this little town in the Thousand Islands that I went to
once and didn't even play a game), and I look around, and this girl shows
up and she recognizes me right away and comes up and says "hi". I look a
little blank I guess, and she's like "remember, you gave me that brass
spike" (and then in the dream I remember being in that town once before (I
think I've had a dream that takes place there several times before), and I
remember I gave her this spike that was one from an old world war one
helmet or something like that).
So we're walking down the main drag of this town, and she takes me to
this building that's this self-storage looking building that's actually a
dorm of sorts for some school. So we go along the row of doors that are
numbered, until we get to hers and she opens it up and we go inside. She
has a record player, and a bunch of various mess in mountains all over the
floor and in the dream we end up having sex, and afterward somebody walks
in to the room and looks at a shelving unit, and walks out. Later
somebody else walks in and looks at the shelving unit and places something
there and picks something else up. These people are oblivious to me and
her cuddling under the blanket, and after watching enough of these people come and go I realize that they are a computer, and each room is a
memory cell, and that's why they're all in a row and numbered
sequentially, and these people are carrying out some computation by moving
crap around on shelving units.
Very strange.
