For five years, I have been studying the dreams that I have at night. In the movie Black Robe, it said that Natives believe that dreams are really important and believe that they are from a World more real than this one. I have not only written about my dreams, I have accompanied these detailed notes with colour illustrated drawings. Winsor McCay was an artist who made a comic strip called Little Nemo In Slumberland. This comic series was about Winsor McCay's imaginary visits to the dream world. My colour drawings is about my real visits to the dream world. I draw the dreams that I had very quickly because I am copying, transcribing an image that is already there in my mind rather than using my waking conscious to conjure an image out of nowhere. A common pattern is that I often see people who are now old, or even people who have died, appearing as they did when they were young. One question I have is, if the dream world is a different world, why do I always dream of rooms with furniture. It could be like that of a foundry. This world is the mold and the next world is the item being molded. Things at their atomic level have a subtle basic energy that exists in timelessness which is of that other world.
Soundtrack:
O Jays - Backstabber
O Jays - She Used To Be My Girl
The song in the soundtrack Backstabbers of which the significance is that the dream world is the front world, the real world. This world is the back world. ie in this world the colour you see is the colour the object is not as it has absorbed all light colours and reflects the one that you see which is a totally converse way to the dream world in which the colours you see of things in the dream world are direct and emitted colours, not indirect and reflected colours which explains how sometimes the dreamworld can appear much more vivid than this world, the HDTV to the CRT televisions of this world. We who are alive and roaming in this back world, are the backstabbers. This video is dedicated to all the backstabbers, ie those of you who are completing a cycle of Earthly incarnation.
Police Officer Chris Hines was riding in an unmarked patrol car with another Police Officer when the call came in to attend to an apparent homicide at Stanley Park Zoo.
They got into the zoo grounds to see a distraught zoo curator wringing his hands in despair. The Police gave him a demanding and questioning look. He led them to the enclosure where it happened. The cage was cleared but the body remained. The cops also observed that there was far too much blood for one person.
The curator told the awaiting Police Officers the story of what happened.
Sweet 16. Orangutans and tigers are wonderful animals and they are cute as babies. With that rationale, an animal handler named Irving Stevens decided to put together two baby orangutans along with two baby tigers. This makes as much sense as putting together newborn giraffes and baby koala bears together just because they are cute as babies. This was on the 6 o' clock news when a news anchor sixteen years ago told the story of how infant tigers and infant orangutans wrapped in swaddling cloths as babies were nestled together for the camera lens to be shown to adoring masses all over the World.
Irving Stevens loved these animals and he kept track of their progress after their separation to different zoos. He decided to reunite them for a 16 year reunion. That was not a good idea.
One night, there was a blackout at the zoo. Due to the pitch blackness, Irving Stevens did not see the sign tacked on the wall next to the cage:
-------------------------------------------------
STANLEY PARK ZOO - TIGER DISPLAY - SAFETY RULES
Do not wear long sleeve clothing.
Do not make any sudden moves.
Do not feed the animals more often than needed.
Do not feed the animals less often than needed.
Do not be late for your shift.
Do not enter the grotto if the lights are not fully on.
Do not enter if under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
Over the zoo's closed circuit cameras, the zookeeper drank swigs from a flask of whisky and then the zookeeper had a few tokes from a marijuana cigarette. The zookeeper hunched intently over a desktop snorting lines of cocaine.
The curator said that he then actually walked outside and was about to say something to Irwing Stevens, having in mind to tell him to take the rest of the night off due to the blackout. As he approached the animal display, he was in time to see Irving Stevens enter the cage. Stevens was drunk and his arms flailed as he sought to regain his balance. That was when the one of the orangutans grabbed him, and feeling territorially threatened, proceeded to rip Irving Steven's arm from his socket. This triggered the hunting instinct of the tigers. The tigers had viciously mauled and then eaten one of the orangutans. The other orangutan escaped, hiding in a corner high up in the cage.
The tigers then killed the poor zookeeper.
Afterwards, the tigers that killed the zookeeper were euthanized.
This is the story of a man named Sherman McCoy, Tom Hanks and his wife who drive down a wrong turn down a highway and wind up in the inner city. They are attacked by two Black gangsters. In their rush to escape, they run down one of the gangsters. The Prosecutor who is running for political office, is looking for a White person to Prosecute as some kind of a social statement of impartiality. Bruce Willis as rich man Peter Fallow is there to lend a hand to Sherman McCoy in his moment of greatest despair as he is hounded by the Press just after his trial. Fallow spirits McCoy into the subways of New York successfully eluding the reporters. The movie ends with the fallout to his reputation complete and damage done, the firm that Sherman McCoy works for, decides not to hire him for a $600 million dollar contract. He is told this at an evening dinner party that he and his wife hosts. Later, at this same party, his wife having somehow heard about him not getting the $600 million dollar deal, leaves him. The title is a reference to the largest Bonfire of the Vanities which happened on February 7, 1497 in Florence Italy when the artifacts and effects of narcissism and ego of its citizenry was publicly burned. There were more, but smaller Bonfires of the Vanities in the earlier part of the 1400s. Personally, this movie, made in the late part of the 80s was made during a period of the collective cultural conscience, a fashion phase when people shed the high faluting snobbery of the 80s with labels like Benetton, Polo, Hugo Boss of the summer of 1988 and within two years, the summer of 1990, the Henry David Thoreauian transcendentalist abandon of rich things for the retro hippy grunge life of the early 90s had occured. A bonfire of the vanities. 4 stars out of 5.
Fight Club
This movie is a story that is very similar to Harvey with Jimmy Stewart. Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden is an imaginary friend to Edward Norton's character. Norton lives vicariously through the persona of Tyler Durden going through the psychodrama of being everything that Durden, an imaginary, movie star looking, well dressed, sharp talking man is. Of course all the great things that Edward Norton imagined about Tyler Durden was really already within him. A lot of people pretend to be other people all the time, to help them get through the rough patches of life. A woman appears in his life. First, she just happens to appear at all the weird groups that he thought that only he was into. Then they start a relationship, but because Norton is convinced that Tyler Durden is the reason why she is there, the relationship at first is at cross purposes and crossed signals. Later, at the very end, do they come to a complete understanding in their relationship. Norton, working with his imaginary friend, Tyler Durden starts up a fight club in a basement. He also starts another club making bombs and blowing up public works of art at first, but later on, blowing up entire skyscrapers. It is the Fight Club that he starts that gets him National, even International notoriety. 5 stars
The Fan
Like the Fight Club, this movie is essentially a story that revolves around two main characters. Robert DeNiro portrays Gil Renard, a stalker to the Wesley Snipes character named Bobby Rayburn who is an all star Major League Baseball star. Renard, a long time fan, finally gets to contact his favourite sports star on a radio talk show. Renard says that he is an admirer. Rayburn plays well for awhile which pleases Renard. Things get weird when Rayburn goes through a slump. Renard remembers that Rayburn's old number 11 is now worn by a baseball player portrayed by Benecio del Torio. Renard is conveniently a knife salesman and so he decides to use his top model blade to dispatch the baseball player who is wearing number 11 and that way the number might return to Bobby Rayburn. For awhile, Renard's plans are tripped up, as, out of commemoration, for one game, all players of that team wore number 11. Later, as Rayburn's number is returned, he plays well again. When Renard kidnaps Rayburn's daughter as well as to leave the dismembered tattoo of the killed baseball player in Rayburn's fridge, the Police get involved. It is not soon after the Police enter the picture that Gil Renard is killed by a Police bullet during a fight at a baseball field. 4 stars.
Century eggs are something that Chinese people like to eat. They are in theory, one hundred year old eggs. These eggs can be seen displayed at the windows of shops in Chinatown.
A person can eat these century eggs after they have been chilled in the refridgerator, peeled, cut in half and sprinkled with sugar. They can also add this to rice porridge.
These eggs have a mysterious dark colour as the egg white takes on a ghastly discolouration that is decidedly not white and the egg yolk has taken on a putrid grisly dessication hue, a rancid grey. Like the blue rennet of the most finely rotted Stilton cheese, these eggs have these rotted out looks at their highest quality.
The recipe about how to make these eggs is mysterious.
I live in a small town in the North, just a couple of thousand miles away from the North Pole and these eggs are just about impossible to find up here. I had a yen for these eggs but I did not have the recipe. Still, I thought of a way to, for sure prepare these eggs and get the recipe just right. I wondered about the eggs and how I could get that garbage can quality. That's it!
One morning, I went to a dumpster and put some store bought eggs under the dumpster.
A month later, I went back to the dumpster and fished the eggs out and brought them back to my apartment.
I split the eggs in half with a knife and holy smokes! I got the recipe just right!

Jeffrey Reed read a suicide note that was written on a website on the internet. The note was very well written. So well written that, now, he thought of taking his own life.
Elvis Gladstone was a defense lawyer who now sat at a desk after having read a suicide note that his client had posted on the internet. With him at the desk were the effects of suicide, a milkshake, a unit of heroin, a bottle of rum, and some pills.
The note read,
""How many stars do you give your life out of 10? You with your intellectual prowess, your skills of critique would not be so naive and polyanna as to give your life 10 stars out of 10. Now applying the same ratio, how many stars out of a million? YOu are a few hundred thousand stars short! How could a perfectionist like you live with such an existential deficit? Why stay alive in a world that has torture, wars, murders, etc? What is one more or one less person in a world of millions?
etc. etc. and this part of the note went on and on.
How to do it painlessly:
Get some papers of heroin, some pills and dissolve it in a milkshake. No one could be expected to live through something like this, and you would not feel a thing! Do yourself a favour, and do society a favour, and kill yourself!"
James Woodrow had circulated on the internet and through just mailing out chain letters resulting in about 250 suicides in six months had resulted in his own incarceration. The attendant Detective on the case who was the arresting Officer was Detective Chris Hines. The Police had grown weary as well as angry at finding these notes clutched in the hands of, or folded in the shirt pockets of suicides, next to a familiar set up of a blender and various drug paraphernalia like used open flaps of heroin, and an empty bottle of whisky. But most disconcertingly of all, a few Police Officers who made the mistake of reading the note, had likewise been found sometime later, dead of suicide. And a judge who read the note had topped himself, along with another, second judge who had been appointed to preside over the arraignment and trial. The Crown Prosecutor had read the note, frowned, and a week later was also found dead of suicide using what was now a familiar method.
The lawyer Elvis Gladstone was sitting at a desk with tears rolling down his face. He was told that he did not have to go to Court after all because his client, the one who wrote the iternet suicide note had killed himself while in prison, not surprisingly, using the same method that he had recommended. The tears were running down the lawyer's face because the note made him think of committing suicide, but as it turned out, he was dying of cancer and that night, a golden angel appeared. When he saw that angel, he knew that the angel had come for him, and he died right there, without committing suicide.
When the Police showed up in the lawyer's room the stench was unbearable. The lawyer had been dead for about 14 hours. Detective Chris Hines was the senior Officer on the case, now present in the room. One of the other Police Officer's made a move for the notes on the desk, which also included the suicide note. Detective Chris Hines grabbed the note out of that Police Officer's hand and then burned it with a lighter.

It is not OK to commit suicide. Ever. Do you understand?!
Life is a journey and you never know what is around the corner. It is the little things in life that one often remembers.
When a person is alive on this Earth he is a thought being with a physical body, when a person dies, he becomes a thought being without a physical body. Telepathy is the language. It is the prelanguage.
George Anderson who is a psychic, said of a person who committed suicide, "Often when a person commits suicide, he looks fine in outward appearance, but inwardly there was a problem in their telepathy."
All Spiritual books warn strongly against suicide. When a person is born, there is a mission that they must accomplish.
Suicide is a form of murder. A person would not kill other selves. Why then, should they kill self?
Suicide is usually a sublimated wish to move to another town because when one commits suicide, they are moving to another town anyways, so to speak. If a person is suicidal, the best thing for them to do is to try life in another town. Whatever you do, stay alive.
The Special Olympics are for People with physical disabilities. Then there was an outcry amongst people with mental disabilities, and even those who were criminally insane lobbied to gain what they felt was their Constitutional Right to compete in sports. A 'Special Mental Winter Games' was created to spotlight the incipient talents of those who were mentally disabled. Some of the athletes came from British Columbia's Essondale Mental Institute for the Criminally Insane. One athlete named David Rothbury, was there because he opened an ice cream shop.
Police Chris Hines: "Show me your menu. I hope I don't see anything that's going to piss me off!"
MENU
Cunt - chicken soup stock, Thai fish sauce, and strawberry flavour ice cream
Asshole - a hollow wafer cone with peanut butter flavoured ice cream
Cock - For The Ladies
Sperm
Felch - oral retrieval of semen from the anus, vanilla and peanut butter fudge
Now years later, the ice cream store owner is participating in the Mental Games.
Another athlete was a doctor who had mixed up the medical records of two patients, one patient who was supposed to have kidney operation and the other who was supposed to get an operation on his lower jaw. So that as a result the patient who was supposed to have a kidney operation marvelled as he saw no surgical scar but was puzzled at the sutures about his lower jaw, all this while his abdomen was purple and he was actually now, in fact, dying. And the other patient who was supposed to have a jaw operation now still had an aching jaw and also now a strange new major surgical scar about the abdominal area. There were other athletes.
One of the athletes was a billionaire, a sea captain who rented a couple of BC Ferries at night, he held a bizarre version of an Easter Egg hunt except it was not Easter and the hunt was not for coloured eggs but a $100,000 diamond ring, had knocked out the lights and fitted them with actual corpses and a stuntman who was encouraged to beat anyone up he could find while he walked throughout the ferryboat disguised as a zombie. And recently in the news, there was a ferry accident when a state of the art, modern ferryboat capsized and sank. The news reported that all on board had perished. And another participant was a structural engineer who decided to raise the bar once and for all and build the ultimate roller coaster. This roller coaster was to have a 100 storey drop.He predicted that 50% of the riders would and should die of shock and sheer abject terror in order for it to be a top class World class roller coaster. See, he reasoned, if 0% of the people died, it would be no good, but also, if 100% of the riders died, it would be no good as well! The first hill was a hundred storeys. The entire edifice, looked at from a distance had a Tim Burton, offwordly quality to it like something out of a dream. The roller coaster had been largely dismantled leaving behind a few roller coaster cars, and it was converted into makeshift bleachers, for the site of the Special Mental Winter Games was very close to this dismantled railed structure.
Another athlete was a customs officer at an isolated border post. Cabin fever inevitably set in for him, and so he expertly stencilled an official looking sign stating in effect that all travellers had to have proof gender". Travellers were asked to pull down their pants in order to "provide proof of gender". Travellers were already pulling down their pants for customs officers for other reasons anyway. What tripped him up was that he refused to believe that one of his female travellers was really a woman when he demanded her to pull down her drawers. It turns out that she was the wife of a politician!
ch 3
As the ferryboat sank, a teenager stood on the prow and yelled, "I'm the King of the World!" In spite of it all, a few passengers laughed. The sea captain with his money had rented an underwater sub. The sea captain knew the passenger manifest. He knew that there was one missing passenger. During a weekend pass, he arranged to bring the passenger to the Special Winter Games Village, temporarily, until it could be moved to his next 'Easter Egg hunt' soiree. He placed it in one of the old roller coaster cars at the rollercoaster/bleachers near the village. The Roller Coaster Engineer saw the body and thought that they would blame him for it so he moved the body to an out of the way place under the bleachers where it was found. But he was blamed for it anyways. At least he was one of the suspects. The Constable Chris Hines did indeed decide to have a peek at what was in a bag that was left near the Roller Coaster. What was there was incriminating and conclusive evidence as to the sea captian's salvaging of a body that was supposed to be missing including plans, photos, and gloves and pictures of the remote submarine. Detective Chris Hines was at the funeral of the man found under the bleachers. The Constable walked up to the sea captain and said, "We know it is you. You might as well give up." The engineer tried unsuccessfully to kill himself that night. But when he awoke in the hospital after having his stomach pumped and treated with an antidote to the pills he had ingested, Constable Chris Hines was there at the side of his bed. The engineer was placed under arrest. As it turns out, fears of mental patients murdering people were unfounded and it was decided that permission for mental patients to take parts in sports was granted.
As you might have noticed, this video has been removed. "Removed from the archives you say? Erased from the memory. Disturbing this is."
George Lucas obviously arranged to have this video removed. His iron glove and his tight control over STAR WARS.
What can you say about George Lucas?
It is not as if he is an actual artist who designed anything. Ralph McQuarrie, who went to Vancouver Technical High School, showed George Lucas 15 designs of each character, here is 15 designs of C3PO and George Lucas picked the design.
Like that animator JVCFelix on YouTube said, "George Lucas: "STAR WARS is my creation, it is my painting, and if I want to paint it Jar Jar, I'll paint it Jar Jar."
What can you say about George Lucas? What drugs was he on?
Never mind all that. Love that artist. George Lucas is a genius who has improved all of our lives and the world is a much changed place, a much better place.
