INSOMNIA

It is 3:50 AM, Friday morning as I write this and I don't post until midnight but might as well write this before I forget my dream. Been having trouble sleeping hell yesterday I slept a whole 40 minutes and felt like days, today I fell asleep around 1:30am or and was already up by 3:30am I guess 2 hours is a big improvement though.

These 2 hours of sleep felt like days but had the coolest fucking dream. I was working in some kind of landfill doing hard labor and a lot of the technology like the subway trains in the factory/landfill whatever you want to call it was so futuristic.

Well all my co workers where doing the usual thing making fun of the rookie (me) because I didn't get to wear an exoskeleton since I hadn't been trained yet. It wasn't like in the movie Aliens 2 or like the video games or even like in Avatar, it was more like a small box way smaller than a backpack on your back with thin tubes on the outside of your arms and legs to give you the strength to pick up really heavy stuff.

The only thing I was given was a small flamethrower I can use in order to burn small trash that wasn't metal that was supposed to be recycled. Suddenly I was attacked by 3 small drones that shot lasers. I burned those bastards down and rest of the workers where like not bad for a rookie, everyone else freaks out on their first day. Turns out these killer drones where an every day nuisance but that was it 3 to 5 small drones in one day.

Not this time, they started coming in huge swarms and the whole dream felt like days. we had run through the subway trains, ride industrial elevators and I was the only one with a flamethrower getting rid of these things at first, until we got to the rest of the flame throwers where I put on one of those exoskeletons and it felt great, I could run so fast with that thing on and could lift some really heavy junk so I was running away from and sometimes chasing these drones the usual dream stuff etc.

Now that I wrote it it doesn't seem as exciting but trust me the fucking dream was a blast and an adrenaline rush, I guess you had to be there. It ended with me missing a subway train where everyone else that fighting the drones got so I ran behind it for a bit until it crashed and the explosion woke me up.

I'm still groggy as hell and I was going to rant about the USA wanting to decriminalizing something very stupid and no it isn't marijuana, I'd be all for that but I guess I'll save that for tomorrow, and no, neither my dream or tomorrows rant is an April fools joke --Dave G.
