i hate some really weird nightmare type dreams...
in the first segment, i was with my wife/girlfriend. during the day, we had driven our car into some very dangerous landscape full of cliffs. muddy pink cliffs... somehow we woke up and had to leave. i'm not certain why at this point, but there was a high degree of fear involved, like maybe something was there in the night that didn't want us there. so we drove on those treacherous cliffs. and somehow i found a way, a path of sorts, that would navigate us on the least treacherous route through the cliffs. it would take us close to the muddy waters of a raging river. so i went down the slope, practically riding on the underside of the car. then, the waters took us and carried us, and somehow everything tumbled into darkness. when we came to rest, i realized that we were under water, and needed to get out. there was some blanket that had ballooned out above the car, and as i somehow made my way out of the driver's side window to see where we were (not sure where the water went)... well, i stuck my head out of the window, and i saw that we were on the edge of a high cliff, teetering on the edge of it, and my action of breaking myself out had already caused the car to teeter more towards falling falling, and i remember actually having a debate (terrible debate) with myself, of saving myself or staying in the car and dying, but fortunately the choice was stolen from me, because we fell...
at least i think we did...
next, i was with eugene, a friend from college. we were riding some crazy ride, like a roller coaster, only it wasn't a roller coaster. it was supposed to be something routine, like a baggage claim or a food service place or something... anyway, we were riding on this thing, with seats that swung upon some sort of pole. the chairs kept ramping upwards and upwards at increasingly incongrous angles... and then, at one point, i felt something give. i realized that things were not going routinely, that this was not right, and, just as i thought, the whole thing started going backwards. somehow i reached the pole and got myself to safety, just as the whole mess started careening backwards into a crash, and a dirty mess of food and people...
we (eugene and i, or a pseudo eugene, some nameless faceless companion) went to our car to leave this godforsaken place. we needed to eat. but as we tried to start the car (now, some huge truck), there was something wrong. i went outside to check, and realized that when we had parked our car (i don't recall us ever actually parking it), we had impacted some wall. so i was searching the ground for scattered parts, like a part of the grill. actually, there were a lot of parts from a lot of cars that had hit things... anyway, i couldn't find what we needed...
i realized that a part of the reason we couldn't leave (yes, and our car suddenly had no bottom... it was just seats and a floorless car with all the moving parts showing) was that our car had no tires/wheels. only bare axles. so some friendly person showed up and started putting these baby tires all over our axles... and then it was at this point that the car started turning into this crazy restaurant show...
have you ever watched a movie where you know it is disgusting and evil, but you're trapped? well, that's kind of what happened. it was like this crazy family of mutants (like texas chainsaw massacre) ran the car/restaurant/show. they asked us if we wanted food, and my partner (unwittingly) asked for a hot dog. so one of the people, a long limbed, skinny boy, with a face and hair like the saw puppet, gave him one in a plastic bag/balloon that he had clearly defecated in... when they asked me if i wanted anything, i said no, i had already eaten...
then there was some crazy show that they tried to display to us on some makeshift television. at the moment, i can't recall what it was...
i woke with a bad taste in my mouth... and a feeling of desperation and spinning uselessness, a dark mirror to my waking life...
