Today, not unlike any other day I did alot of things, but more unusual to what I normally do. First, I got off work, which didn't go well. I went home and talked with Karla for a while, which is always worth the time. Then I went and picked up my little sister from the air port. She came back wearing this odd shirt with horizontal stripes. It made her boobs look huge. I giggled, I knew she'd grow out of the tomboy phase, I just didn't expect her to turn into a full blown fashion crazed valley girl in a single trip to North carolina. When I got home I talked with Karla again breifly and went to bed.
I woke up early so I could go to the Xiu Xiu show. Man what a waste of time. I paid 6 bucks to give the second act a guitar lesson - what the hell!!! And I didn't even get to see XIU XIU!!! o0 that just chaps my ass. I was genuinely wanting to talk with Xiu Xiu's head man and ask him a few questions regarding his preception of his art as aposed to the actuality of it. The clips of their music that I listened to were very interesting and I desperately want to learn more about the circumstances of the bands life, their past and history. - Some other time though. I just hope someone from the TRS board managed to boot leg it. if I have to plan to see Xiu Xiu in the future and it fucks up my plans I'll be... irritated.
On the bright side I did me "Rustle" from the TRS boards, who's name is Brian. I picked up a copy of Acid Mother's Live In Japan from him. 3 tracks of the weirdest shit i've heard since Keiji Haino's work with his power trio Fushitsusha. Jesus Beans McGee... it was extra special trippifitastic crackola! o0 I wanted to break out a magnifying glass and examine my nipples for germ cities. o0, maybe help put in a light rail system.
I really dug it. o0 yeah.
So then two nights ago though, I had the most incredible dream. I think it was a dream. It was intense, sureal, - it was naked. I was in a grove of Sakura trees, a waterfall, some pools here and there, a giant fallen tree - a Cryptomeria i think - moss growing on it in vivid lush green patches. The perfect place it seemed. The closer I paid attention in my dream though the more I noticed it was just me in a place. I was standing arm and arm with karly, but the entire area was constantly changing, it was like all the seasons were happening at once - and Karly and I were fluctuating between infants and elderly adults. The curious thing about this was in the dream it was like I could see all sides at once - but at all times - things morphed like crazy. There were times when half of my body was full grown, or adolecent, where another area would be old and feeble or child like, scars came and faded, - and Karla too. It was the most vivid dream, possibly the most vivid thing in the span of my life I've experianced to date. I started writing a song about it, as I was talking to Karla.
Thats where things got weirder. Karla, some how was able to guess the exact same vibe that I was on when I wrote and titled my tunes. - She would say things that I'd been thinking about when I wrote the song, and then I'd go. "O_O whoa... funny you should mention that, the name of the song is 'saving my soul'... trippy" - and then we'd have a small pause of silence followed by barely audible breathing. Not people trying not to breath heavy, but that innocent, curious, cautious, wonderous kind of breath - like when you first want to kiss someone.
During the dream though I probably circled myslef - watched us both grow and change, along with the seasons. The grove had fleets of snow, rain, wind, falling petals, blooming flowers, drying moss, frozen waterfalls - everything there constantly shifted. Just when it seemed it was going to reach some sort of stand still- a stationary form it changed - and did so again and a gain and again. It was incredible. Even more curious about the scenery and us both being naked was nothing explicit was shown to me from myself. As I circled I was always denied the 'final' details of the human form - the wind would pick up and blow leaves in the way as I was about to pass that way, or the rain would hit and blur the vision, or snow flakes would fall, or an icecicle would fall, someones hair would be in the way, or an arm, or a leaf from a tree when looking from above, or some frosted over ice or lily pad - even a fish or frog swiming when looking from underneath. It didn't seem intentional either.
I don't know that it's a sign or has some sort of meaning. But it certainly was writing about, and even more so worth writing music about. What ever it means, I suppose I'll know when it happens.
