Remote Bus Stop with Baby Monkey

It’s twilight and I’m at a bus stop in a remote area which is rural and has a lot of hills in the distance. It feels quite high up and an intermediate place; between places.

There is a windey road to and out of it, a detour shallow road, it's an empty space and there is no one around.

It is not too cold or too warm and I have a baby green monkey clinging to me that I am parenting, it looks like an orangutang and it is hanging onto my side with its arms around my neck.

It's got green hair, all over its body, that is wispy and you can make out the pink skin underneath clearly; I comfort it by stroking its protruding belly and feel the warmth of its body and our connection..

Time stands still & blurs as we wait…. Next thing: I’m talking with someone.. maybe about the bus schedule and it feels a bit later. I now seem to have two baby green haired orangutans hanging onto me on either side.

I seem to have forgotten that there was two.

I've been to this exact imaginary place before but the monkeys are a first.

Ai (mid journey) : imagine a hillside remote bus stop and a solitary human carrying a baby green orangutang

Notes from 2024 -2025

Story Dream Notes - 2024 I’ve snuck into a neighbour’s house. It feels like I’m back in Lancashire and it’s a large 3 -level, victorian house. With completely different occupants to the ones I grew up next to. It’s an imaginary place really, with echoes of familiarity; there is a missing wall so it's all open plan on all three levels. I'm on the top level, at the back where the kitchen was; I'm watching the inhabitants sneakily from the top floor, i think there is a TV and video and cushions on the floor, at some point, I decide to leave and show myself; I can’t remember why I was there and it feels awkward as I might get found out. I think I’m feeling sleepy. I cannot find my shoes. I make it to the ground floor and my ladder seems to be shrinking as I walk around it. I am discovered by one of the young female neighbours, that I don’t recognise, and they are fine with me being there. ...

I find myself dreaming that I’m in my bed… Aug '24

Dream times. Aug ‘24 In both these dreams I find myself dreaming that I’m in my bed, which I am… 1. I’m lying in bed, with a William Morris duvet cover, I’m waking up, slowly, and see the window is wide open. My foot/feet are sticking out of the duvet to the left of the double bed. I move my left foot down by 45 degrees and see that there are 2 purple birds sat perched next to the bed at foot level. Previously obscured by my feet. They are a pair, they look identical. Like pigeons crossed with parakeets. I try not to make any distractions as they might fly away. But hear in the corner behind me something moving about. I think it might be a cat, I do not own one at the moment, but keep an eye on the birds instead. I look closely at the birds and see a small insect / flea moving across its face / head. They are real. I’m still aware of the rummaging noise in the corner. 2. I’m in a quarry, we’ve just been moved there from another place which seemed quite normal. In this sp...

Getting Tall

https://deepimg.ai/ai-image-generator/ Under the bright daylight, I attend an outdoor theatre performance. The audience stands watching the actors, with wooden slats serving as a simple backdrop behind us to frame the performance space. The production shifts and we audience members are directed toward a new area for the next scene. The performers are improvising, and I'm expected to join in. As I interact with them, I become part of the show. During my participation, I suddenly grow enormous, standing tall above the small performers and the audience below. My body becomes somewhat cartoonish—slightly grey, transparent and ghostlike. Strangely, no one notices this transformation. The change lasts only moments. I quickly return to normal size, back in my regular body, and continue participating in the performance as if the transformation has never happened.
