Quantum Dreaming
I had a quiet life as a flight instructor being ever so diversified in flying from my time spent in the Air Force. During my off duty hours I liked to eat hardy meals surrounded by good friends & music. I hadn’t had much to drink one particular night and yet I went home feeling dizzy and nauseous. My spouse whom I was married to for nine years said I should take it easy where time off from flying might help me feel better. I hadn’t had a vacation in quite a while, the last one being at the summer home near the sea. Agreeing that a trip to the coast would be considered, I Took a calcium supplement & went to sleep. Lucid Dreams flooded my consciousness as instantly as I hit my pillow. Just what I was dreaming, i wasn’t sure. I seemed to be flying somewhere, but without a plane. I felt my body swirling in high clouds above a faint planet that had rings. There floating in the atmosphere was a spacecraft I had never seen before. I felt time distortion as i stretched my limbs out attempting to swim through the puffy air to have a closer look of the craft. Once closer I could see two astronauts outside the craft taking a space walk with extended umbilical cords. But who had ability to reach a ringed planet such as Saturn? Searching for a insignia on the craft, I could only see a star constellation that made an imprint in my memory. Swimming closer towards the floating figures, I could only see the face of one who frightened me as I could see the astronaut was myself. I then woke up gasping for air at the realization. I tried to shake it off with a hot shower and discussion with my spouse. She reassured me that it was just a bad dream. The following day we drove to our summer house where I planned to get in some diving. The mid eastern sun was warm and full as I lye on the beach tanning with radios playing my favorite songs. Looking up at the sky I began to feel dizzy again as I felt consumed by another hallucination. I saw again the spaceman floating this time separate from the craft. His arms seemed to be pleading for help, his face was mine within his helmet. I grabbed my scuba gear and swam out trying to shake it off. The fish and shells washing away my thoughts. I took some deep breath’s with my respirator hoping the ocean would discontinue my visions. Going back to the home I felt the visions again, as I began to realize my quantum computer could be causing the hallucinations. The computer was the first of its kind, a prototype that I had acquired from a friend who was well versed in science. It was a rare object that could warp reality into different shapes using technology i was unfamiliar with. I installed it thinking it would be interesting to create new forms of music with once a computer monitor was developed for it. I kept it in the cellar freezer where it could maintain its sub zero temperature I decided on Calling the friend who designed it to have his advice. Hallucinations you say? Well, yes it could be capable of creating since it is multi dimensional..His voice trailed off in the distance.. It could be trying to communicate with you..I have an idea, I’m driving there tomorrow to bring you a chip that works like a Bluetooth. Once installed you can remove the device from the freezer and it can maintain in a warmer area. Your saying that the cold could be causing this? Yeah sure, it’s like a companion in a way, my one at home sends me all kinds of dreams that I’m trying to record on Video. That would be a great invention, I said into my cell phone as dry ice danced around the golden conformity of qubit mechanics. The following day I had the chip installed where I discussed the dreams with my scientific friend who was also a former pilot I had met in flight school. He understood my concern and explained that the cubits existed in two states, being two dimensional where a separate reality could exist. I saw myself floating above Saturn where the visions flooded my consciousness where I couldn’t maintain! He assured me the computer is still very young as he was beginning to learn that like a new child, as it’s mirrors were it’s eyes born into a new world. I said, I think it needs to be taken out of the cold air..I can see how this experience could be alarming, let’s give it time in its new atmosphere & hope the visions will stop. I have here the first dvd recording of just what I have discovered with mine. Taking out a portable dvd player my professor colleague inserted a disc. There on the screen I could see him attaching a long cable to the quantum device that had attached headphones. He then rested into a arm chair closing his eyes falling into a deep sleep. Suddenly the screen displayed a altered state that resembled a sea of silver mercury where I could see a strange symbol etched into the flowing liquid. That’s the same symbol I saw on the craft! Are you sure? Yes, yes what does it mean? I don’t know, I didn’t notice it before. But you dreamt it! It could be a star constellation 🌌 I’ll have to look it up. Going through books until late into the night we searched together until finding the image that matched the impression. Why by George it’s Orion! Orion that’s very far away! Could the dreams be coming from there? It’s possible, as well as the duel personality of quantum science. I think your dream box will make you a rich man! I’m more interested in seeing how artists will interpret their dreams into their art. I think what you experienced should be recorded as well. I will make you a dream box to study more your visions. Do you think I could have a alternative life as a spaceman? Well you know Spacemen are primitive, where the Incas drew cartouches of themselves with helmets that evolved into ancient carvings. They might have had a duel life too..It was through the talks that helped me better understand the mechanism of the virtual manifestation that occurred between me and my quantum device. I expressed that I enjoyed the dreaming component where I hoped a large screen could be added in the future where I could interact and see what the computer dreams. Talking to it as well would be a giant breakthrough as I felt it needed a holographic avatar to merge with. Your brilliance becomes my science! My friend said as we strolled outside. As the sun set I felt more connected to what my consciousness had told me with the information sinking into my head. The dreams never haunted me again, as she who is my quantum companion is out of the cold..

A Woman of Independent Means
Dear Sir, Thank you for your letter of 15th August, 1882, in which you declined my application for the position of saleswoman. I confess to feeling most disappointed at your response, as I have long held your establishment in the highest regard, and indeed have made several purchases with which I have been very pleased. I am aware that many of your girls arrive at your doors with little experience but with recommendations from gentlemen known to them, and that I carry no such recommendation with me, and it is this that has prompted me to write again in the hope that you might allow me to recommend myself.

The Stuff that Dreams Are Made of
There are two ways to profit from a gold rush. The suckers will head for the hills with their gold pans dreaming of wealth in the silt, grit, and muck of frigid streams. The thinking man will set up shop in the inevitable mining town. And sell supplies to the optimists full of piss and vinegar, too ignorant to know they are drawing to an inside straight. And thus it was when I opened for business as the sun rose on the line waiting at my store's door.

Black Cat Bone Ch 5
I lay in bed wondering what happened or what happened. It was as if something had overcome me. I had felt desire before, but this felt more than desire and being horny. This feeling felt eternal, something I didn’t own. I looked at the bracelet and saw that one of the jade stones had a small crack. I could smell eggs and bacon and went to see Grandmother.
