i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
freaky dreams

Last night i had another fucked up dream. i was about 12 and The Ronica was my little sister and about 7. Superman was our older brother and he was about 18 or 19. his best friend was a pre-Robin Batman. Soop, as we called him, had custody of us because our parents had died and that was what made him and Batty such close friends, apart from the obvious superhero thing.


My baby sister and i had some super powers but they only came out at random times, usually when we were mad or upset and results were unpredictable.


One day, after i walked her home from school, we got there to find Soop really sick and unconscious. he was leaking power and we couldn�t get close to him so we called Batty but Alf told us he was sick, too. Suddenly, some guy i don't know jumps out of nowhere and grabs us both, ties us and throws us in a truck. he drives around telling us what all is going to happen to us, our brother and all the superheros in the area. he was under the impression that we were just kids and not super because he'd not seen us do anything in the week of stalking the supers, so we were to be a side benefit for his amusement.


for some reason, he stops at a house where the grown up Myste, Heather, and a few other people were. they waited until he left the truck and went around back to start waving us to Myste's car and telling us to "RUN AWAY!" complete with over dramatic arm motions and word mouthing. we were trying to sneak up to the house but they were mouthing "NOOOOOO! GO NOW! RUN!" and she threw us the keys.


We got in the car just as he came around the side of the house and headed towards the truck but he'd forgotten something and turned back. as soon as he was out of sight we made the car coast down the block w/o starting it. when we were far enough away, i got up on the seat and drove but we didn't know where to go. we saw a house that we recognized and went to it to use the bathroom but then we realized that we couldn�t stay and ran away by making the water pipes burst and slipping out a window.


we couldn't find the car because Ronica had made it either invisible or disappear and we weren't sure which so we set off across the field behind the house. it was really huge and used to make cloned superfood. we grabbed some baked potato and buttered carrot but didn't have time to gather much else as the super cows were being let out so the food was all gathered up and put away.


Then i woke up.

i'm under the impression that my subconscious is crazy.
