Dreams I had: using “echinacea tree oil” as a good substitute for sunscreen. Reaching into said tree to find out how viscous the oil is and putting it into a plastic vegetable bag. Asking my dad if it’s actually a good substitute.

Waking up and remembering echinacea is a flower.

So he’s that person that was once a friend but you don’t care for as a friend anymore, but could still be friends – he’s a boujie, sassy bitch.

Superhero Partials: Part 1

There were kidnapped kids stuck in a stock trailer that was behind a hot wire fence. It was up to me to find out how to get in and get them out. Stupidly I touched the fence without first tracing the source. Fortunately, I didn’t get shocked but I did decide that it would be a good idea to trace the hot wire to it’s source. When I did, it was a weird conglomeration of big wires, not even like small fence wries, but like big wires you’d find telephone poles and they were hooked to an actual downed electrical line.

So, I go back to where I touched it and I see a gap. I know that somehow it’s grounded out there and I get inside the hotwire fence. When I get to the stock trailer, the kids are packed in there - like human trafficking. So I let them out and I have to guide them back through the fence. It’s kinda like herding cats because they start to go in all directions; one of which goes through a different part of the fence! But they didn’t get shocked there either so I guide through that space in the fence and get them all out.

Is it the same little dopamine hit you get from, like, completing four rows in Tetris? Is that what's happening?
