OK, I’m freaking out just a bit here. I saw a really bizarre
nightmare last night. I know this is supposed to be a blog about my new house,
but the dream is related to that, and on the other hand, look at the name of
the blog. This isn’t what I meant when I came up with the name, but now it feels
strangely appropriate, don’t you think?
In the dream, I heard the doorbell ring and went to open the
door. There was a man there. He said he was a federal agent. He showed me his
badge and all, just like the FBI agents do in the movies. Here comes the scary
part: there was something wrong with his face; it was leaking inky smoke so that
I couldn’t see what he looked like. When I woke up I realized that this image
totally came from the ink-covered faces in the photos, of course (see the
previous post). The man asked me about the shoebox. He said that it contains top-secret
information and that I need to give it to him. I got scared that he’ll put me
in jail and went to get the shoebox, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I
searched the whole house but it was nowhere. Then I went to the bathroom to
look for it, and saw myself in the mirror: my face was covered with inky smoke
as well! And that’s when I woke up. When I think back about the dream, it
didn’t say “FBI” on his badge; it said “AWE”.
This is the weirdest thing of all: Now I can’t find the
shoebox anywhere. I have looked everywhere I can think of. I’m sure that it
will turn up somewhere, there is so much junk lying around in the house at the
moment, but kind of creepy in any case. I didn’t get around to scanning the
poems yet, but I did take photos of them, luckily.
