Natalia, this is your best lab report yet (and they are all fantastic). Hide and Seek is definitely my number one game (thus my entry into the first Refuse journal). But to have someone see it the way you do feels to me like being found. I had a hide and seek dream a few days ago.
Dream Invasion, Oct 3 2021
I’m staying in a condo or an apartment by the beach
And there's a row of them
All the condos are similar
A friend is staying with me.
We get separated, somehow
as if we are separated by someone or something.
Something has changed about the condo
and I’m aware we are both still in the condo
but we can’t find each other.
As I look for her
she’s also looking for me.
We were together in the same room
and then something shifted
and now though we are still in the same room
we cannot find each other.
It’s confusing to be together
and not be able to find each other.
For a second I wonder if she never was
then I remember that it’s dangerous to think like that
I have to hold on to what I feel in my body
and that’s that we were in the room together
and now we can’t find each other
I can hear her and she can hear me
but we can’t find each other
It’s nighttime but light pollution brightens the sky

I can hear her and she can hear me
but we can’t find each other
It’s nighttime but light pollution brightens the sky
And I see that the sky is full of parachutes.
The sky is filled with small aircraft,
like small gliders of some sort,
Thousands of them
and they all have their chutes open
We are being invaded
I can feel in my body
that we’ve been invaded
I’m surprised and I’m not surprised
There’s a lot happening by design
this confusion
and separating ourselves from each other
this is by design
We have to leave
We have to get out of here
I’m on a train
More like an above-ground monorail system
It travels very fast
We are traveling through a forest
but high on the monorail system
near the treetops
We are traveling a long distance
very fast
I see lights below
At each stop, I get off to look
I’m running through the station, scouring
I’m looking for her
We're looking for each other
I get back on the train and at the next stop
I do the same thing
At every station, I’m searching
But I cannot find her
We keep missing each other
The trains move so fast
they carve light into the darkness.
