Adventure Dream

This dream, one of two remembered from last night, was wild.

I was part of an intergalactic crew. We were a small crew. I don’t know anyone’s names in the dream. My commander was a female and not anyone that I recognized.

I seemed to be in a television show. I was younger than I am, and appeared nothing like I ever had, except being white and male, with brown hair. I had the strange powers of being prescient and a great jumper. Both skills were nascent, and I spent large parts of the dream trying to improve both. At one point, I’d developed my jumping sufficiently that I could jump higher than a pub’s wood counter, and hang in the air several seconds, apparently suspending time and gravity. I was still learning about it.

Meanwhile, the series’ story line seemed to be that our little band was trying to help some small creature escape the powers that would capture and experiment on him, and return him to his home planet, across the galaxy. We were constantly being chased. People were trying to ambush and cheat us. We were in several fights.

In one episode memorable to me because my character played a greater role, I noticed that our vessel’s systems were alerting us to being followed. I notified the Captain. Meanwhile, we went planet-side, to a small bar. There, we met with someone to make a deal. I don’t know those details.

I remember that I knew from my prescience that someone was coming for us. So I announced, “I’ll take care of this.” Leaving the group, I went to a front foyer to await our attackers. Cold, heavy rain fell through the darkness outside. I wasn’t a big person. Other men were standing in the foyer. “Are you waiting for a fight, too?” I asked one. He looked down at me and nodded.

The attackers arrived and I gave them a thorough thumping via my special skills. Then, deal done in the bar, we departed the fix, heading for our space vessel and on to our next adventure.

Strange, but true. Well, in my dreams, hey?

Floort

Floort (Catfinition): a flirtatious kitty.

In Use: “Every day, the chubby little gray and white floort with the purple collar would pop-up by Michael’s fence. Sitting down, she regarded him with golden eyes. When she finally saw that she had his attention, she would stand, tail up, and release a song of lament about her starving state that clearly contradicted her physical appearance. Of course, Michael, being the pushover he was, would provide the floort with some chin love and kibble. Satisfied, the little Princess would then return home and resume her snoozing on her people’s front porch.”

Today’s Bumper Sticker

There seems to be a law of nature that when I’m watching for a bumper sticker, none will appear. If I forget about them as I’m walking around, I usually spy a few that interest me.

So it was today while walking. This, on a new generation Volkswagen Beetle, gave me a laugh.

“I’m Pro-OPERA, and I VOTE!”

Today’s Theme Music

Today’s song, “Sister Christian,” by Night Ranger, is an example of how music brings us together.

The song came was a hit in nineteen eighty-four. I lived on Okinawa at the time. I bought the album but I’m not a big Night Rangers fan. The album, though, entered the Sony CD turntable. A few years later, now stationed in Germany, I have a party going on at my house. Guests include a number of young airmen. This song comes on. Suddenly, two of them were yelling, “Oh my God, Night Ranger. I love Night Ranger. I love this song.”

So we cranked up the song, and the Bose 901s boomed it out. The lyrics are simple, and well-enunciated, and the song had received a lot of air play. Everyone present either knew the song, or proficiently faked it. Soon all present were performing in their best karoaka manner, minus microphones. It probably helped that we were drinking some fine German beer, doing shots of chilled Jagermeister, and we were several hours into the party.

I still smile in memory.

Flooflet

Flooflet (Catfinition): small cat, or kitten.

In Use: “Although the mighty Quinn is over eight years old, the flooflet often looks like a young raccoon, in the right light.”
