Doom Dreams

[Drunk Monk]

I'm watching the Residents again with ED but instead of being at the Rio, we are in the clouds, like in heaven in a bad Hallmark holiday special. After the show ends, we walk out and are in Oakland, but a new redeveloped section. I had seen some of the construction but it was all new to ED. We wandered through a huge mall with this strange balancing sculptures, which we jumped up on and wobbled about, deciding that they were way too dangerous for pedestrians. Then we saw this massive fountain shoot up, like 100 feet, and it turned out that it was at the center of a massive Vegas-style animatronic wall fascade that simulated a cliff collapsing. There were demon faces in the cliff, or perhaps they were ancient idols, something between Easter Island heads and Disney's Tiki Room. We found it very entertaining, and then made our way to what we thought was the escalators to the BART station, but they went down below view. There was a gift shop that we had to pass around to get to the escalators, and I bought some sort of drink that cost $5, but there was some extra charge that made it $10, which wasn't upsetting at all for some reason. We went down the escalator and found ourselves in a room of display cases, very intricate models of spaceships and Japanese robots. We were joined by a friendly golden retriever who stood on his hind legs and wore clothes like a human. He was an old friend and we welcomed him.

It was a very complex dream, one of the most complex dreams I have had in years. I wish I could remember more. I woke up thinking how fun it was to have gone to that Residents show with ED, and humming one of my favorite tunes of theirs, Easter Woman.
