Conversations - I don?t know really how this came up but two separate conversations one with Mark and then one with Karen started to reveal weird connections and symbolism. - Dream Warriors - Segment 3 (21mb)
Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:00:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Where Are the Blue Turtles - I had another dream about Stephanie. So much for getting her out of my head. - Dream Warriors - Segment 4 (18mb)
Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:00:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black

Mon, 13 Sep 2006 19:52:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Circle of Life - As soon as I let my guard down thinking things may have settled a bit the mental machine cranks back to life. I am an overweight Fox Mulder struggling to make connections and sense of everything while more and more questions pile up - Dream Warriors - Segment 6 (14mb)
Mon, 14 Sep 2006 17:25:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Two out of Three Ain?t Bad - Most of what we compared in our short visit fell into one of two categories: similarities and omissions. Dan?s individual tales will have to wait for now - Dream Warriors - Segment 7 (23mb)
Mon, 15 Sep 2006 05:18:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Mail Call - had to write this down...too freakin bizarre to be a coincidence.....hopped in Rudy to take matt to school and go to work....radio as always tuned in to my fav alternative station from Windsor Ontario....89X - Dream Warriors - Segment 8 (7mb)
Mon, 16 Sep 2006 12:53:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Brother of Mine - Karen and I enjoyed a rare visit to the YWCA over the weekend. I always check the register to see if Dan had been by each time. I remarked to her that he had really slacked off and had not come to the gym in some time - Dream Warriors - Segment 9 (10mb)
Mon, 18 Sep 2006 18:53:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Steve, I Wonder - Another weekend, another dream. The nagging question of my sleeping habits resurfaces again. Many of my episodes take place when I sleep longer than four hours at a stretch. Though I have been on my current sleep schedule for about a year now, the dreams only started about 8 months ago?mirroring my brother?s cycle. His slumber patterns are very different than mine, and the similarities in REM experiences cannot be ignored. However, after that we part ways. - Dream Warriors - Segment 10 (13mb)
Mon, 19 Sep 2006 17:38:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Cars - A brief daytime episode?midweek?resistant to fading. It may mean something, but more than likely it is just a manifestation of worry. I have ended up in a back garage on a college campus. My mind tells me it is Lewis and Clark Community College, my alma mater. It is and it isn?t. Nighttime is the setting. I am dealing with two unfamiliar security guards that want to know what I am doing here - Dream Warriors - Segment 11 (8mb)
Sun, 10 Dec 2006 19:05:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Mail Call, Part Two - Lars mentioned today that Ubu misses his mom and dad. He tells me this from time to time. I treated it as so much five-year-old stuff until Karen remarked about it?. - Dream Warriors - Segment 12 (9mb)
Sun, 10 Dec 2006 20:08:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
(MATURE CONTENT) The Devil Inside - ?will not let me rest peacefully. Four hours of slumber and I have two nightmares. I can?t be sure, but I think I was talking loudly during the last ?installment? - enough to briefly rouse myself, at least. Thank God the door was shut ...... - Dream Warriors - Segment 13 (13mb)
Mon, 11 Dec 2006 20:10:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Pinch Me - These days, I don?t have much time for television. I do watch when I can - that?s the problem: when I can. Anymore, I?d rather devote the down periods to other activities. I did, however, waste large parts of my younger days on the tube, both movies and broadcast programs. This is my main impetus for limiting my children on their watching habits.... - Dream Warriors - Segment 14 (9mb)
Mon, 11 Dec 2006 20:15:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Beginnings - It all started when I was four months old and in Luvs diapers?Seriously?My memories go back to about 1973. I have had very dark dim ones of earlier, but likely not much past age two. The coherent ones start in Memphis, where my brother entered the picture. I wonder if I had any experiences like Lars. Unfortunately, the best witness from that period is gone.... - Dream Warriors - Segment 15 (10mb)
Mon, 11 Dec 2006 19:08:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Bad Moon Rising - I am not done with shaking the family tree. Maybe a few answers will fall from it yet. A full moon hangs heavy tonight. Any night worker will attest that it draws out all the dregs. Even the normal can be adversely affected. It seems also to pull on dreams and spirits? - Dream Warriors - Segment 16 (11mb)
Thurs, 20 Dec 2006 20:40:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Working in a Coal Mine - (It did feel like that, from time to time?) Meanwhile, back at the ADM plant?.This dream felt very real. At one point, I had called Mark to tell him I was back at the warehouse. I had no idea this was a dream until I woke up..... - Dream Warriors - Segment 17 (6mb)
Thurs, 20 Dec 2006 20:45:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Crossroads - Most of the garbage processing in my head lately has been just that. Nothing lingering or particularly odd. I have taken advantage of this unexpected lull and used the time for other pressing issues?like restful sleep. Tonight?s nap, though still fulfilling, yielded a new breed of dream. I am still mulling it over, for it has a feel of closure about it. As many may testify, such is just about an alien concept in my world? - Dream Warriors - Segment 18 (10mb)
Thurs, 20 Dec 2006 20:50:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Jet - My dreams were not always this vivid. I have had many during this period that have never even been considered for this story. They are run-of-the-mill, common stock: The kind that I assume everyone has. Recently, I had a handful that was about Cathy and the kids. That is all I can say. I did not wake ragged. No elements survived past rubbing my eyes. Eminent danger did not hang over my head like a bad mood.... - Dream Warriors - Segment 19 (10mb)
Sun, 24 Dec 2006 19:10:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
City of New Orleans - Karen and I are at a hotel. It is Karen and it is not. She is more of a composite. Maybe (shudder) Karen and Cathy. At this point, it is hard to be sure. Either way, I am ready to leave. Things are VERY wrong here, and in ways I cannot pinpoint nor understand..... - Dream Warriors - Segment 20 (11mb)
Sun, 24 Dec 2006 19:20:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Flashing back to 1978?.- Checking out of the Travelodge and into the real estate office, one could almost hear a collective, guarded ?oh.? The game had changed, and now so had the rules. We were trying to become one of them (not really), and that just couldn?t be done, save for long lineage (WHEW! Thank God!)..... - Dream Warriors - Segment 21 (13mb)
Sun, 24 Dec 2006 19:30:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
The King and I - A pair tonight - that doesn?t beat much, if I recall?The first opened up in a strip mall. The kind that saw its heyday about two decades prior. Like others, this one was mostly empty and in need of maintenance. One storefront, though empty, had lights on. I was expected at that one...... - Dream Warriors - Segment 22 (16mb)
Sun, 24 Dec 2006 19:40:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
A Decade Under the Influence - Reflection also leads down other roads. Maybe continuing investigation of influences and life events will shed more light on this. I remain convinced that other forces are at work; I want to eliminate the possibility of my own twisted psyche generating all of this chaos. Or check into a facility if I cannot? - Dream Warriors - Segment 23 (15mb)
Mon, 25 Dec 2006 14:30:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Another younger member was outside. He was blond and seemed to be of adolescent age. A mongrel was tearing at his similar yellow jumpsuit. I watched in horror through the window as the scene appeared to speed up.? - Dream Warriors - Segment 24 (11mb)
Mon, 25 Dec 2006 14:40:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
The dream changed - A school lunchroom. I have dreamed this place before - many times. Yet I do not think I have written of this. It?s déjà vu all over again.? - Dream Warriors - Segment 25 (14mb)
Mon, 25 Dec 2006 14:50:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Dream Weaver - It was a quiet weekend?except for the kids, the dog, and the ex-wife. Spirits rested, save for another spine chill reported by my princess. I had an alarming dream that refused to diminish at all, and I ended up relating it twice to the kids, who have a sudden interest in such tales.? - Dream Warriors - Segment 26 (12mb)
Mon, 25 Dec 2006 20:30:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Casino Queen - The song was crafted by a Belleville group a few years back. It seemed like an apropos section header. Casino Queen/My lord you?re mean? The fact that the actual gambling boat is only miles from my house just added support. And it deals with a newly emerging theme running through my sleeping head..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 27 (12mb)
Mon, 25 Dec 2006 20:40:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
The other issue on my mind is?my mind. - Only recently have I become aware that I may not think like many other folks. I realize this statement could be construed as leading with the chin, but I am quite serious..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 28 (14mb)
Mon, 25 Dec 2006 20:50:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Before Glynnis had shoed me from her apartment, I had used her bathroom. This seemed to be an important thread in this one dream, as I ended up in the facilities over and over. Note to self - do not drink so much before nap time. Inside the original homestead, the similarities with Adam?s boyhood house continued..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 29 (10mb)
Mon, 25 Dec 2006 21:00:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
The Memory Remains - More and more, I have been remembering only parts of dreams or subsequent dreams. For some reason, the initial episodes are murky if there at all. My mind tells me they are/were there, yet?only a shadow of the memory remains. Tonight?s recurring theme: School.... - Dream Warriors - Segment 30 (11mb)
Mon, 25 Dec 2006 21:10:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
He Is Risen?but His subjects continue to sleep and dream. Easter weekend came and went with no big upheavals in the subconscious realm. I will share what I do remember?and one ironic purchase. Good Friday was just that. A two hour nap brought snippets and no answers..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 31 (11mb)
Sat, 30 Dec 2006 21:30:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Day Tripper - After a couple of years on the graveyard shift, one might imagine that it becomes easier to sleep during the day. It doesn?t. God did not make man with twenty-four hour convenience in mind, and tens of thousands of years of routine cannot be undone in half a century...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 32 (11mb)
Sat, 30 Dec 2006 21:35:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Kitty at my foot and I want to touch it. - The lyric is from the excellent Kitty by the Presidents of the United States of America. Somehow, the title wasn?t enough, and I did not like two other choices: Cat Scratch Fever and Breakfast in America. Yet, we are nowhere near being done, are we?..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 33 (12mb)
Sat, 30 Dec 2006 21:40:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
The Kentucky Fried Dream - Half awake and holding a throbbing, pseudo-hangover grade headache in my left hand, I penned notes on my daytime nap like it was a play or movie. Many of these feel very much like that, oftentimes referencing real-life TV or screen celebrities as certain scenes appear heavily influenced by the pop culture itself. I did make a stronger effort to preserve details, and my new documentation style may help. Let?s see the dailies..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 34 (12mb)
Sat, 30 Dec 2006 21:45:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
In the interim, the mansion bar had morphed into a trendy restaurant/lounge with a tropical theme replete with actual palm trees (this tale happened before the ?Bond? story). The red-haired lady and Sam Elliott clone had vanished with little fanfare, perhaps following Lori to a better dream. A true alcoholic to the core, I did not notice or care - I had bigger fish to fry...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 35 (12mb)
Sat, 30 Dec 2006 21:50:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
What quite possibly saved me - though it was almost a year later when I finally sobered up - was moving back to Illinois. Steph tired of my ?shenanigans? quickly and decided to move on?to Biff. Work was starting to interfere with my increased addictions; this downturn in my social life ..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 36 (18mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 09:00:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Highway to Hell - This song was on the radio on the way in to work tonight. I could not have picked a better theme for my mood. The Waking World seems like a nightmare tonight, and I wish I could retreat into the relative safety of the Dream World...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 37 (15mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 09:10:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
The Hotel at the End of the Universe - That?s what Ribby always called it anyway. One of my stranger recurring themes, the Hotel Stratford. I will use this as a ?lead story? for this week?s ?dreamcast,? though this one particular vision is more of a headline, as long as it is?..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 38 (12mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 09:20:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Today is May 18, 2006. This last piece is from yesterday. Two separate dreams during my sunlight nap. I think I have said this before, but maybe I should see a ?shrink.? Oh, yeah - I don?t have insurance. Bugger! This is just a montage of scenes. I do not think it was the quality of my notes, because I can still visualize some of it...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 39 (11mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 09:30:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
867-5309/Jenny - The infectious 80?s hit is on my mind as I think of the past weekend. Dreams came and went, but nothing worth writing about. In fact, all of them defied radar detection somehow. Maybe they were normal. Perish the thought!..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 40 (12mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 09:40:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
A failed attempt to get up and do something led me back to the bed to continue with the driving motif. It is night again. In retrospect, this ?town? feels like the resort masquerading earlier in the text as New Orleans...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 41 (15mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 09:50:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Pieces of a Dream - A movie that wrapped in Alton over a year ago sported that name. Still waiting to see it. In the meantime, I find it useful for today?s agenda. I do not have a whole, coherent episode to share, and nothing survived from my daytime nap. This is all from the three hour evening tour...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 42 (13mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:00:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
My Big Fat Greek Dream - No, I did not just watch the movie. We do own a copy, but it has been at least a year since I have seen it. I have NO idea why this transpired. But, it?s bizarre, and it did not fade. Requirements have been met!..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 43 (12mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:10:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Deconstructing Stephanie - The finale. Trust me. It has to end sometime?May of 1989 marked our triumphant return to north of the Mason-Dixon line. I did not feel so victorious, but a fresh start was at hand. I was 19 and had my whole life ahead of me. Funny how it didn?t feel that way...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 44 (13mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:20:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
The Net - A 1990?s Sandra Bullock vehicle. Seemed apropos. I have been known to get excited about something, spill the beans, and then watch the whole scenario derail - possibly because I let the cat out of the bag too soon. It sounds superstitious, yet it cleaves well with Murphy?s Law...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 45 (9mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:30:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Tribute - I chose my favorite Tenacious D song in honour of my cousin?but let?s include this snippet lousy with Recurring Themes first: A weird ?nurses? station or reception area continues to plague my dreams almost as much as The Basement has. It has appeared in various forms over the course of this narrative. Chalk up another cameo for what remains of this vision. I am assuming it is a symbol, but for what?..? - Dream Warriors - Segment 46 (10mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:40:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
It was on one of these very occasions, just last week, that a friend was driving by the house. We?ll call him Joe. Joe had his friend John riding shotgun with him. I had already left for work, but John insisted that they stop. He felt something strong from the upper level. Very strong...? - Dream Warriors - Segment 47 (12mb)
Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:50:00 -0400 Author: David Wayne Black
Toys in the Attic - After the recent exorcisms, I interrogated Lars. Are the ghosts still nice? Lars did not hesitate. No. He was rooting in his room for something, but I had more of his attention than normal...?
