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 started crawling underneath a space that was just the size of our bodies in a space below the rock. We couldn't lift our heads. We actually finally heard the scientists and the other organization in the same cavern that we were in and she started to ask, what was the name of the demon? What was the name of the demon?? Urgently. Like she was starting to remember something but needed to confirm it. I wasn't sure the name of the demon. I didn't know what the demon was, but I started to see visions of a curled fetus that looked like the type of worm that floats in tequila or the caterpillar of a luna moth. It was fat and had giant black eyes, it was the color of caramel and had tumors all over its body. 


"The demon's name is Chapúlba" a voice said from behind us, a child's voice, and a small person was crawling into the space headfirst. I was spider crawling backward away from him but I couldn't maneuver much, and I was somehow going backward quickly and wasn't being stopped or slowed by the girl who was supposed to be behind me. I lifted my feet and hands and spun myself around and saw that she was deflated, her eyes hollowed out and her mouth elongated the way that the neck in a stretched out t-shirt would look.


Behind her the crawlspace began to open up into a cavern and I saw an enormous version of the fetus I had just seen, almost human in form, lurched over, tumors even bigger, taking up the whole opening of the cavern, peering back over its shoulder at me like a hunchback and it was breathing extraordinarily fast, panting like a dog giving birth.

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
