Alex Peak’s Dreams 2009/02/06: Co-workers in My Dreams In this dream, I inform certain co-workers—specifically Tom, Katie, and Erin—that they had all appeared in dreams of mine. Tom scoffs at the idea of having appeared in one of my dreams. I leave the Towson University post office during a slow period (a period with no actual work to do) and go to the library. In this dream, it seems I have a blog, albeit a rather inactive one. At the library, I take the opportunity to work on my blog. Unfortunately, it seems I stay at the library too long, and I end up not returning to work before the the campus post office closes. I have a book in my possession about Obama, and it is written from vaguely libertarian perspective. The cover of the book has a seal made by Mr. Obama, which is to serve as the new Seal of the President of the United States. I ask a library worker if she can photocopy the cover (or perhaps some of the content, but I think it’s the cover I wanted), to which I’m told that the photocopying would cost $95. Thinking that was exorbitant, and wanting to make sure that the photocopy would be of a quality worth paying $95, I ask if I can see a photocopy before making a purchase. They allow this, and when I see the photocopy, I find that it is extraordinarily small—too small for my purposes, and thus definitely not worth the cost. I go back to my blog. It seems I had started writing a book, the preface of which was complete. Chapter one was still in progress. I had believed that this content, despite being on my blog, was hidden from public viewing; but I learn that it was not, and that everything I had written, even drafts, were widely available. I go to a store, where the food is waiting outside. I and whomever I’m with pick up candy, probably chocolate. But, are we getting this for a dog? That doesn’t make sense, as dogs are not supposed to be allowed chocolate for health reasons. I go to a rich party with my grandfather who—later in the dream—is my mother. I sit at a computer along with other people who are also sitting at computers. It feels like sitting at the slot machines of a casino, but it’s a computer. This computer either has Limewire on it, or I’m downloading Limewire onto it without the consent of its owner. My objective is to download music to which I wish to at that moment listen. The guy to the right of me, perhaps the owner of this place, seems to be getting angry with me. (I’m not surprised.) I go outside to eat some ice cream. Then I’m with [Vladimir] and others. [Vladimir] has some sort of blueberry-flavoured soda, the can of which is leaking. He’s in bed, leading me to believe he’s not feeling well. • These are actual dreams Alex Peak has had.
