Dreaming in Digital

20241231 my oldest nephew gave me a book of his to borrow at the cottage. It was a really old copy of Beowulf by J.R.R. Tolkien with a red, white and black cover, and yellowing, frayed pages. He's five and a half years old and can barely read.

20241222 i was in high school again, this time in art class. I can't remember what was our project. I went through a bin of random bric-a-brac. I saw a paint brush in a plastic case and thought Cookie might like to own it if these items were abandoned. I also saw a home made, hot pink dildo with a blue tip.

20241217 i was on my old computer from the 90's - a beige desktop that became dirtier and yellow with age. On Windows 95, I opened a chatroom with Shortbread, but my messages were all in a different language. I tried to fix it and the words became Russian.

20241215 i was in a mall that looked like Square One. Cookie was with me, and we went to a card game store. I watched Cookie interact with regulars who played card games there, then left to find Shortbread. When Cookie was done, I asked if we could take Shortbread home and he said yes.

20241212 i was an inmate in a women's prison, but i was allowed to wander. I often visited one area where a girl with an innocent personality stayed. I escaped prison with her, although she didn't know. We avoided guards and police who looked for us on the streets and in a mall, where a guard found us in the mall fountain, hopping on stones to avoid getting our shoes wet. She asked why the guard chased us and I had to reveal that I got us out of prison. She was angry that I deceived her but kept running.

20241207 i woke from a nap to find my three month old baby in a Halo swivel bassinest beside her white, slatted crib. She outgrew it, with her legs dangling off the edge of it. The sound machine dangled off the side, ready to fall. My baby had her hand in her mouth, obliviously sucking away, happily.
