My friend David is visiting me at my house
It's my house on Kailis St, the same one I live in now
David is dating someone who works at a printing shop
He gives me a standard piece of A4 paper with a printed image on it that is moving like a video
It's a video of me driving a golf buggy that we filmed at some stage when we are hanging out together. Where I'm pretending to race the buggy as a joke, as if it's a race car, when it's so slow that senior citizens on their buggy are faster than us
I'm amazed at the fact he can get a movie video file printed on a standard piece of paper
"How the hell does it produce sound?" I ask looking at both sides of the piece of paper amazed
For a moment I am transported into the physics of how I think it works. With cascading layers of ink, repeatedly collapsing their structure, much like layers of image stacked on each other in a disk image
You need a special type of printer, which he has brought with him to my house
This technology is not just new, it's never been seen before, or even heard of yet
It's amazing to me
I start to create a mobile phone message that includes both my brothers, my Dad, my sister, Mum and everyone else that would be amazed to see it
But I'm looking for my Dad in my phone and I can't find him
As normally happens in my dreams, things keep stupidly changing, so I can't use things such as technology when I want to
The interface on the phone keeps changing and I keep having to reanalyse it, to work out how to use it
Then while I'm working out how to use the phone, I lose the piece of paper
For some reason, now there is mountains of pieces of paper on my bed and I can't find the piece I need/want
I'm falling asleep as I do it
David says I'm exhausted and wonders why I'm trying to stay away
I tell him that this is just what life is now. I'm not exhausted, but I need to sleep
He talks about the direction I'm sleeping in and how it agrees me
Then, at the end of this dream, I'm sweeping the floor in our loungeroom, all the way down to my bedroom
For some reason the floor is dirt and I'm raking the dirt, roughing it up and making it soft and fresh, as if I'm preparing it to have something planted in it
Then I'm looking into the door of my sisters old room, next to mine, and I see some type of electric creature
It has luminous green eyes and outline to its face
Almost like it's eyes are made out of big night-vision goggles, glowing luminous green in the dark
It is humanoid, but it is cowering down with its head near the ground, so low I have to look down at it
We look at each other and I feel anger towards it welling inside me
I wouldn't say I hate it, but I'm definitely not fond of it
I turn and walk into my room with a feeling of "live and let live". Even though I dislike whatever it was greatly, I leave it be and don't negatively effect it
This same night, I've woken up and my sister is vacuuming
I've also woken and looked at the tiny green dot glowing in the dark from my Toshiba Notebook
This makes me wonder how it we see our surroundings without eyes while we are sleeping
