A Literary Couple, Shut In

 While at work, I heard the doctor and her husband reading aloud in one of the examination rooms. It was Lord of the Rings and they were reading it back and forth to each other urgently. They seemed like they were trying to finish it immediately, but also in one whole sitting. Patients started queuing up in the waiting room to the point where you could only see the tops of their heads and not their faces anymore and they were asking when they would be seen. I could hear them still reading, and I knew that it was still early on in the book so it would still be a while and the patients started getting mad and pushing forward. I started finding chairs and boxes and stacking them in front of the waiting area, but people kept clamoring and asking when they could get in and pushing forward, and I could hear the doctors starting to stack their doorway with boxes from the inside as well. I was walking up and down the chairs and boxes to get more and more to throw in the way of the crowd, but I could see we were being drowned by them. The doctors' voices began to sound desperate.

In the Cavern, There is Chapúlba

 I was traveling a dead country with a girl. She was pregnant with a child, but the child was not her own. It was planted there by what we thought was a science organization that we believed was following us. We felt we were being trailed so we were staying in people's houses instead of checking into hotels or established places, though there weren't many to choose from at this point. The world was dying, lots of browned and dying trees and the light was more gold-hued, like cinematic early morning, but constantly. Gold flecks seemed to be in the air. Visions were tinted. We were in a cave system, and we were going lower and lower and the girl had to rest so she sat up against a giant tree trunk that was petrified and was growing below ground. She kept sliding backwards, slowly as the tree seemed to be giving way, but we had become cornered by the team that was following us. We kept trying to squeeze lower and lower into our hiding place, to the point where she eventually start

You belong in the record store.

  I worked in the record store near my house, Monster Music. And instead of it being a store in the traditional sense, instead it was a house. It was old, lots of wood paneling and old carpet, conversation pits in two of the rooms. A second floor that had a wooden bannister with floral and fruit wallpaper that led up to a loft area which led outside to something that felt like it was out of neverland. Like a tree house. There were ziplines and massive trees to slide down. Inside the house, there were racks and rows of records to look through, but since I worked there, I paid a lot less attention to the records than I did the consumers and the people I worked with. That aspect of it was the preeminent theme of the dream itself. There was a communal sense of employees and the people who worked in and around the store. People slept on the floors of the building, laid around one another in big nests of embrace and laughter. It felt cultish in a way, the empty minds and ideas of the people

New Norman Reedus Show On FOX

 Dude in my dream i was watching.a show that was so dope lol. It was about a town and it was basically being taken over by people with big money who started moving in once this big industrial company moved into town and built a complex there. But they were mostly into the political/bureaucratic aspect of it but it was their KIDS who the show focused on who were like bw 12-16 and they were terrorizing the town. They were like no rules, had guns, stole from the small grocery store… basically rich kids but the most ratcheted up version of it.  Norman Reedus was a local of the town for a long time and basically took no shit from the kids talked shit to them, etc., threw them out of stores when they were being pieces of shit. His daughter same age as the kids had to drop out of school bc they fucked with her bc of him the worst. At one point, he has one of the cars that would joy ride around the town towed and has it parked on his property next to his house. One night like 6-7 kids come to
