I’ve been having dreams about an oddly shaped bear for several years. In one of them it warned me of my cancer diagnosis. Today I realized it looked odd because it is arctotherium africanum. An ancient Pleistocene species I had never heard of until I stumbled upon a picture today.

Last night I signed a contract in my dreams. Or I dreamt of the contract I signed for this life. I cried, afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle what I was signing up for. I woke up knowing that I have and I can.

Last night’s dream: “Protect the Taiwan peace at all costs.” In my dream someone was making me sing this repeatedly so I wouldn’t forget. Then they told me to wake up and remember so I immediately opened my eyes and in my head I was saying it over and over.

I had a dream where I was given the phrase “May 4241.” This could reference so many things. Thank you for the obscurity, Spirit. I will have fun unraveling this one.

“We have two different wounds, but looking at yours does nothing to heal mine.” - Darius Simpson & Scout Bostley

Who comes to me I keep,
Who goes from me I free
Yet against all I stand
Who carry not my key.

April of 2023, I dreamt that we all came into this world with a parasite we called a finger snail. We had to feed it and protect it as it burrowed into our thumbs. I ignored my revulsion because I thought I gained from it. I thought that what it ate, I was eating. It ate more efficiently than I do.
