20260903 I visited a local festival near my home, where I visited many community centres. I visited one, where I met my old friend from middle school, Y---. After she graduated middle school, she disappeared so I was happy to see her again. She invited me to visit at her house, so I did. She lived well-off, in a huge mansion with a home movie theatre. At the moment, she was playing music amd am equalizer was shown on the screen. I selected a different song - one that said 4D - and the visual switched to a different colour. I felt the music. Not like powerful bass, but inside me. I could feel the song in the body part the song intended. It was incredible and intense.

20260722 we had a small ceremony for mum-in-law who rested peacefully in the ground. This funeral home was different; they had bed rooms to clean and decorate, and a water pond for guests to float lily pads and flowers in remembrance.

Everyone was dressed in bright colours and saris as if it were a wedding.

20260721 I was on a ship with many people who were my generation. I don't remember how we were warned, that many lives will be claimed by the tendrils of an ancient sea monster as we sailed in the sea. I don't remember how I learned to be safe as well - by wearing something made of pure silver.

On the day the kraken came, its ghostly tendrils came out through the floor. People were pulled into walls and through the floor. A small handful of us wore silver and we huddled together. We were scared, seeing our friends disappear, calling our friends to our sides and embracing them tightly so the tendrils would pass through them without harm. One shot up from the floor, trying to claim me; it felt icy cold. I felt it a couple more times as we called strangers to us and huddled together.

Soon it ended. We looked amongst ourselves as only a handful of is survived by silver, or incredible luck by dodging. One male podcaster sat on the floor. He made a comment and I mentioned I liked listening to his podcast.

20260715 I was with Cookie on a holiday. It was like a little hotel village. We were on our last night there when we sat down at at a cafe, where two round tables have been pulled together. A man from Germany comes by to comment and laugh. I had the impression he was family.

When he left, I felt bad I didn't have enough booklets from my mum-in-law's memorial service to give one to him.

We turned the corner to sit beside two of Cookie's long time family friends, B+L. My mum-in-law was suddenly sitting with them and suggested we eat here tomorrow before leaving. The man from before walk passed us again and I saw behind him at the restaurant that kids eat free on Mondays.

I said, ”Look, [baby]! You can eat free if you ate french fries.”

20260523 i took a two hour commute all the way to downtown Toronto to meet Shortbread and her sister. I kept tabs on the time, noticing i had half an hour left of time before i had to take the train back home to pick up my toddler from school.

I wandered around a music store with wood panels for walls. A taxidermied black bear stood by the entrance, wearing a hat. I talked to a store employee, who let me wander around while I waited.

Shortbread finally arrived, out of breath from running. "I got here as soon as I could!" she exclaimed as her sister strutted by her side without breaking out a sweat. She said something about Shortbread too long to get ready and missing the trains.

I felt disappointed. I told them it's already time for me to go.

I was driving in the countryside, on a steep slope. Stopping on the side of the road, I turned the engine off. When I got back into the car, I didn't turn it on, but disengaged the handbrake and shifted gear into drive. The car rolled down hill from gravity, picking up momentum. I tried to brake, but it did nothing and I panicked.

I kept rolling downhill until the end of the road where I was suddenly outside the car. I watched my little, white Fiat 500 drive off the cliff into the sea and get swallowed up by the endless abyss.

I sunk to my knees, heartbroken. My mum-in-law bought that car from me, and she had passed away recently. I went through the next steps in my head, where I had to call my father-in-law and embarrassing tell him I lost the car since he was paying for the insurance.

I was on a mission with Jim Caviezel, who was probably his character Reese from Person of Interest. He was in his signature black suit and his hair had become silvery-grey. I had dark skin, like dark chocolate, and long, red hair that flowed in waves. Our mission was to protect a little Asian girl, about the age of four or five, from enemies who were attempting to kidnap her.

We got separated. Knowing the girl is safest with him, The Man in the Suit took her with him. The pursuers followed them into a train car full of golden straw. He fought them off, while on the phone, and succeeded without shooting anyone in the kneecaps. The little girl hid, hugging her stuffed bunny.

I was interestingly dressed for our sunny winter. I wore purple, reflective sunglasses and a silver peacoat that reached the top of my over-the-knee, caramel-coloured, high-heeled boots. I travelled to the town square of a small town to find information. There was a tall, black gazebo there, with speakers, playing random music. I crossed the gazebo, ending my call with Reese, calling him, 'Starry-fox'. I carried a leather-spined book with research and information relevant to the child. As I walked along an empty road, I let my guard down and a black, gloved hand clapped over my mouth as I dropped the book. I noted an asterisk drawn on the spine in silver marker as I tried to free myself. The last lyrics I heard from the speakers before I blacked out were, "I'll fiddle with my horse until you break it," sung by Shakira.
