Dream, Tuesday October 27, 2009
I was going to leave a house, but someone assured me that it was allright to go back upstairs into the house.

I said that it was safer to leave the house through the back door downstairs.

Sometimes that room is dark and no one is there,

but sometimes, the room is lighted and there is a shadow on the door, someone is there, ghosts of the dead and they are kind of mean people. Scary. Scream scary.

Somewhere interspliced between all this, a guide is leading someone and me through a zoo park garden. I get into meditation lotus position and fly up up up up up. They sense my expertise. Suddenly the group walks past a stone pavilion.

I look back and see an orange and black tiger pounce on one of them.
I fly, levitate to them and the tiger grabs my right arm. I levitate lifting the tiger with me and then with a judo flip, my hand to its paw, while in the air, I flip it into a small group of water buffalos below.
Then there was a white and black spotted panther who grabbed the other guy. I similarly lifted it but this time as I was flying past it, it grabbed the lower part of my right leg. I could feel its weight just like with the tiger, and I could feel its teeth on the lower part of my right leg.

At one point, I was levitating above and next to a house and saw sunlight over a meadow below and ahead. The house was on my left. I see an blue corpsish lady in a 4 corner square frame she was smiling a mischievous smile.

Right. Like I said, it was then that I went back into the house and I saw that the corridor to the back door was not dark and empty, but had a strange electric lamplight, and a slight shadow on the back door. There was someone else there. Other ghosts. They gave a ghastly eerie ethereal ghostly presence.

I remember sitting on a mattress on the floor in that room, staying there, unable to get out, and screaming, screaming in my dream. I was expecting one of the ghosts I sensed nearby to stand next to me and I would see it's face. I sensed there was a male and a female. But no one came to my side and then I woke up.

An Adjoining Dream 


I once had a dream about a strange ethereal ghost like addition to a house. Wood very roughly handbuilt together to form a ghostly bridge and porch addition to an already old house. This dream is a complement to the image about the woman smiling michievously at me above, how she was in a ghostly like structure next to a house.

The actual house on Triumph and Kootenay St.

Night. I was at a house on Triumph, one block West of Boundary in Vancouver. My friend asks me to bring a gun in a pink soft suede holster to a neighbour across the street.
I go there, stand in front of the door, but no one comes to the door.

Then I notice a bunch of Police cars parked around, and then I thought if they came up to me, and saw that I was dealing with a gun in any way, selling it, or even transporting it to another person, I would get into trouble. So I went back across the street to my friends.
Then I teleported to the front of that house across the street. Now, it was day. The cops had surrounded me and treated me as if I was one of them. They gave me a gun. We all stood in front of the door waiting. Then I squatted down and rubbed my hand over my face sleepily. A Policewoman who was there amongst the group of me, a Police woman and two other Policemen.

The Policewoman said to me, "There is no sleeping on the job. If you are going to sleep, then today is going to be your last day." I did not want to lose such a good and important job so I snapped awake.

The door opens and we go into the house, I peek around the doorframe and look inside, having an artist, George Orwell as a cop kind of attitude. There is a main kitchen table with people sitting.

There is an adjoining room to the right.
There is a coffee table a sofa at the far end and a couch on either sides. There was about three people sitting there. All kinds of stuff were on the table, drugs, bags of marijuana. I go there and I am collecting the marijuana. I was thinking, "I don't really want to do this. I know how you feel, because I smoke pot myself."
As I am collecting the pot from the table I ask a Police man to the right of me, he is sitting on the sofa at the far end of the coffee table, "What should I say?"

"Ask him how often he uses. Ask him how much he spends on it." the Policeman says.

I ask the Spanish looking guy wearing a patchwork work shirt sitting on the couch as he looks up at me mellowly,"How much do you use? How much do you spend on this a month?" Then I say, I can't do this! I am not a cop!

I go to the kitchen room, on the way to leave. I see a cop standing by the door. I explain to him, "I guess it's back to drawing cartoons."

I go to my friend's house. At first they are not there. Then they are there behind a four sided glass counter. I tell them that I wanted to buy a painting of Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones.
They showed me the picture. I saw only a frame and not a picture. Somehow the frame was actually a triptych and Keith Richards was on one of the three frames.


I recalled the bag of pot on the table.
I told them that I spent some time as a cop. They said, "You should have collected some of that pot and sold it. That's what they do! And if there was a bag full of crack, you could have grabbed that too!"
---------------------------------------------------
Just like with the house and the frame next to it, I want to draw another example of a
similar Police dream to the above.

At Sunrise Park on 3rd and Rupert in Vancouver.

There is a cement building platform. I am on it making a political speech.

Then all of a sudden, the Police appear.

They ask me for a fine, a Policewoman, and I reach for my wallet, and I am surprised that not only do I have a wallet, but that it is full of money.

Dream Wednesday November 25th 2009
I was lying on a bed. A blonde Policewoman wearing a ponytail and a Police hat was next to me, to my left. She was wearing a light blue Police shirt, with badge. She said that she wanted to ask me a few questions. Then she sitting on top of me. She asked me to put my hands together. She handcuffed me. But a few seconds later, the handcuffs were gone and I was free again. I was able to put my hands under the pillow while lying down.

Show And Tell

This is my new big screen TV hooked up to my computer, or rather, vice versa.


These images are from Herge's Tintin. These images give a kind of campy bourgeous comic book feel, really intense like when I first discovered Winsor McCay, during the Spring when I was 21 years old. That artist, for awhile went out of fashion for awhile, but if you order the full size reprints of the Little Nemo in Slumberland comics, it does have the same kind of ornate baroque vibes, sort of like coming down off of mushrooms.
I wish to achieve this level of artistic mastery. In fact, this is my pledge.
This is why, with my computer hooked up to the big screen TV, of course this means a much bigger "canvas" where I can squeeze in a lot more details. Over the course of time, I will inject some mind blowing psychedelic images into my cartoons now that I have more space to add in more details.
I wish to create good feelings if maybe not quite the Stendahl effect, with my cartoons, of course animated cartoon is different than the medium of a paper comic strip, glossy bright colours, in paper has a feeling.
I had a Stendahl effect with some artwork that I saw during the 80s when as a teenager, I would see a picture and not be able to stop crying for a day and a half, but it was a happy kind of crying, or looking at a picture and staying up all night feeling happier and happier each minute and feeling every minute of the growing happiness. But maybe that's just the hormones of puberty.
See the Herge comics above? That's my artistic objective now that I have a big screen TV to work with as a computer screen. I don't know when it will be that I will achieve this objective. Often the best cartoons or artwork comes about accidentally without any kind of planning beforehand.



This is the latest frame of my cartoon. I drew this picture with the computer hooked up to the big screen television. Tintin comics are like this; they are originally drawn on huge poster sized sheets of paper and then the printing press process shrinks down the comic strip to paperback comic magazine size.

The Carnegie Community Centre in Vancouver, in the dreamworld

The approach to the Community Centre, on the street.

The interior of the Community Centre is spotless and pristine as could be expected in the dreamworld. The green wrought iron framework framing the floors and windows. The mahogany furniture and interiors. In the dream, there were some people in the rooms.

Dream, Friday November 13, 2009Some Police wanted to interview me about my marijuana use, throughout the dream, but never got around to it.
I leave this party and go into a convenience store connected to a high rise apartment. I was asking the cashier about the Police, the party and then 3 guys walk in. I sensed they were going to rob the place, so I streaked out fast.

When I looked back, I indeed did see one guy holding a machete. One of the guys in this dream was my black friend Wes.
I go to an airport waiting area. Everyone is on a phone.

I go to a phone and someone is on it, I weep to one of the passengers, "Why is everyone on a phone? I need to call the Police, it is an emergency, I have to report an armed robbery."

I go into a hospital. There is a series of phones on a table in a room. I pick up one of the phones,

but it is a nurse and as soon as I identify myself, she tells me that she is unable to contact the Police, but can tell me fully, my medical details. I did not want to hear about that.
I go out. I recognize that I am standing outside H&R Block in Dawson Creek. I see a car moving from left to right going West, I wave it down thinking it might be the Police. It is a tan, cream coloured car, looks like a 4 door 60s Valiant. In the car is my cousin ******* she looks young, slim, about 19. In fact, now, in this life, she is a 250 woman who wears a mumu.
It is the light of a Spring or Winter morning.
I apologized to her, I wanted to see the Police. She beamed at me, smiling. She said, that's OK because we are cousins. She was happy to see me. I told her that I was on Noble Films now, and as she turned left now going South, at Northern Janitorial in Dawson Creek, I volunteered to write my phone number on a restaurant table paper napkin. With the first few tries, the ink on the pen did not work, but finally I was able to write the phone number I have and I am not including it here!
Note, it is strange to see people in my dreams who I resolved to never, ever speak to again, and in the dream, I am friendly to them and they are friendly to me. Often these are people I have not seen in years. But in this life, upon awakening, whatever happy feelings I had with these people in the dream are crushed and I go back to my wakeful resolve of determining that these people are not worth contacting, even if I had a dream about them. Now I am not seriously going to contact this cousin I saw in today's dream. No fucking way!
If they are so gung ho about family, why don't they ever introduce me to my mother's side of the family, instead they do everything they can to withhold whatever information about her they could from me.
She is not my cousin, because the man who says he is my father is not my father. What, he's my father, why, because he says he is?! He is not my father. I have only ever known that guy to be a compulsive liar on all topics. I really doubt that he is my father. He is not my father. Not my genes. I don't look anything like him. His face looks like a catfish. I think that my adoptive father is dead.
I finally leave the amusement park fair altogether.

In the distance, there is the exit. Up a small hill, a line up of people.

I see a Police Officer but people shuffle to the exit and I miss the Police Officer and in the line up, I look back and can scarcely see him, obscured by all the queueing heads behind me.
