I only have pieces left but it was a very detailed and ‘extensive’ dream. It starts like i’m listening to a movie on my ipod. It’s apparently a movie that’s been released but i didn’t think i wanted to see it but as i listen it becomes more interesting. It seems that there is a small band of men that have asked a voodoo man for some type of power and it’s been granted. Then i’m watching a car load of young people arriving at a party place – sort of rock outcropping at the end of a gravel road. ?something happens that makes them want to leave. I can clearly see the one girl and two guys. The two guys leave and the girl stays behind.
The next scene, the vehicle the guys were in – i think it’s a jeepy kind of pickup, maybe a Scout – is laying on it’s side and i can see the bodies of the kids strewn on the road. I can’t tell if they’re hurt, dead or what. There’s a large tractor that was pulling a long flat-bed trailer stopped in the road and from what i can tell (it’s dark out) is that the kids were driving along, didn’t see the tractor pulling the trailer and crashed right into the back of it. There’s no sign of the farmer so i’m guessing that the tractor was just parked there and it’s not really a road but more like a path through the farmer’s crops. As all this is registering, three men show up on foot. They’re being kind of quiet but laughing too – like merry pranksters. They go to the bodies of the two boys and say some incantation over the corpses, stuff a twenty dollar bill and a dried mushroom in each of the boys front jeans pocket. I think they do that to throw off the authorities and make it look like a bad trip (?)
Now the scene shifts and i’m following the three men into the mouth of a cave. There’s a policeman or some kind of law steward guarding the cave to keep people out but the three men are dressed for caving and have oxygen tanks and gear so the guard doesn’t stop them. Big blank here…. It’s another ?cave or some kind of place to explore. Two guys are going in and just like the other place (or maybe it’s the same place) the guard doesn’t stop them because they look like they know what they’re doing. Scene shift again and the most recent two guys are dead and the three men are stuffing a twenty and a ‘shroom in each of the guys front jeans pocket.
Now it’s back to the girl’s story – the one that stayed behind at the party rock. She knows her friends are dead but nobody talks about it. She’s been to the site where their bodies are but she can’t touch them. It’s like some kind of force prevents them from being handled or touched. Now i’m in the passenger seat of an SUV driving through town. Scott is driving. We’re going to this house where the voodoo man that gave the guys their power lives. We arrive at the house. It’s just a little house right on a street like in any small town. It’s raised up on beams and is being restored i guess. It’s yellow and a cute house. I stay in the SUV for a minute to turn off my ipod and put it away. I’m hoping i can remember the name of the movie so i can finish listening to it.
We go into the house. It’s kind of a mess with carpenters stuff but we go back to the kitchen where the voodoo man is and it’s restored back there. As i’m walking in to the kitchen behind Scott i have an idea that the men that asked for the power had meant to ask for some other gift but worded it badly so that it got messed up when granted. I think that they meant to ask for the power to restore life and got it but not in the way they intended. They could restore life, but in doing so placed the body in a different realm. Our world could still see them but we couldn’t interact or touch them. I’m not sure why we’re at the voodoo man’s house but it might have something to do with getting the back story. There’s a large gilded bird cage in the kitchen and the bird in it is very different looking than the usual pet bird. It looks like a swift but has pretty colors like a peacock. As i’m standing and looking at the bird (the voodoo man is standing in a doorway that leads from the kitchen to another room) the bird starts sending out some kind of signal towards me. It’s like it’s singing but there’s no sound. I can see the sound moving through the air towards me. It looks like oil through water. Swirly and slow and thick. I wonder what will happen when the waves reach me when a loud singing sound intervenes. It’s the voodoo man singing a song to the bird and the words of the song are telling the bird not to expend its energy without need. The swirly oily air dissipates and the bird is quieted.
Now we’re driving to another house. It’s the house where the two guys from the cave live. The movie girl is with us now so maybe it’s really the house where the first two guys live. I’m trying to find the movie on my ipod so i can listen some more but can only find reggae channels. I think about marking the reggae channels as favorites but none of them are playing very good reggae so i don’t. Now we’re at the house. It’s just a regular house in the suburbs. I can see two guys on the car pad washing their car. They’re completely naked and hairless. They look like mannequins. The girl recognizes them as here friends and jumps out of the SUV (we’re parked in the back yard on the grass) to run to them. I’m not sure if i want to get out or not because i don’t know if they’re still people or if they’re aliens now. I can hear the girl talking to them but they don’t react. They really are like mannequins. I try to ask Scott if he knows what the name of the movie is so we can rent it and watch it later to see how it ends.
That’s all i remember now. It was a cool dream.
