dream: 11/3/2020

on this, election morning...

i dreamed at first that i was at some convention or meeting or training or something. and president obama and vice president biden were sitting at the table just beside ours. he was dressed for work, with no coat, his shirt sleeves rolled up, "all fired up." i wanted to tell him how he was the best president ever, but didn't manage to. at some point, he walked off, and the dream kind of shifted to other things...

later, i was in some garage. it looked like my grandparents' old garage in ewa beach. there were some food products, lovingly prepared by some anal japanese people who were currrently staying at my grandma's. i was told to watch the stuff, and not sell it. apparently, it was a saturday morning, and people in the community were coming around to houses eager to buy stuff (kind of like a farmer's market). while i was watching the stuff, i was also prepping some of my harvest. it was supposed to be some green leafy vegetable, which i was peeling the leaves off of, and putting into some wide deep basin with water to rinse everything off, but at times, there were broccoli heads and other things. anyway, periodically curious people would come around asking what i was selling, and i would tell them that we weren't selling anything...

then at one point, i tried to get some paper towel, and i saw the way that the japanese people had prepared the paper towel roll was so intricate that i couldn't get a sheet of paper towel, and i was worried that i couldn't put things exactly the way that i had found it...

then i noticed this monstrous insect. it was a dragon fly, but it had this head that was 6 feet long. it had an angry, sharp toothed looking head... i decided to film it with my camera, but it exitted the garage before i could. so i ended up wandering into the garden at the side of the house. it wasn't like the real garden at my grandparents' house, i realize. it was lush and green. i didn't see the dragonfly, but i did see other things... like this floating caterpillar made up of clear balls filled with green or green-tinged liquids; the colors shifted periodically, but they all remained within the green spectrum. i thought i saw something similar made of red...

then i think there was this part of the dream where there was a kitchen, and i was thinking about getting a present for my friend shari. but i couldn't think of anything. and i recalled other presents that other people had gotten her, and how thoughtful and eclectic those presents were. but i couldn't think of anything creative, or convincing...

and that seems to be where the dream sort of fizzled out.
