UFO dream and cockroach obasan
This morning I woke up from a weird dream. I don't usually write about dreams, either I forget about them right away or they're not worth telling, or sometimes I'd rather forget them. But this time it was kind of funny maybe, and it featured a long-time online friend from the BBS era. :)
It was night in Shinjuku (a large center in Tokyo), I was on the west side of the station and stared towards the north between buildings, when a parade of UFOs showed up! Not the kind that you'd miss if you'd blink, there were tons of them, parading slowly from the the right to the left (towards the west), disappearing behind a tall building..! Some were huge gray/brown-ish ones of a square-y shape, some others were small lights that moved in formations.
I had my camera out and was taking photos of those, and I went up a pedestrian bridge (like there often are over large streets here) to get a better view. And there stood Robin! He was also standing there and looking at the non-stop parade. We kept looking, sometimes I fell in awe and just stared until I remembered I had to take more pictures.
Then I was trying to get a better shot of something that could be read on a big square one, it was too far away to be able to see properly, and Robin took out his mobile phone and somehow managed to zoom in really close to reveal what was written. It said 「高円寺 天人」.......... HAAHAHAHA. (That's "Kōenji tennin", Kōenji being a part of Tokyo a bit west of Shinjuku, and one definition of "tennin" is "celestial person" according to a dictionary... some kind of alien from Kōenji?! or going there since they were headed in that direction?)
The next scene was a lot more frightening. We were in a car and escaping the scene. UFOs were flying around, one passed very near our car and went to crash in a nearby tree. Then there was another UFO stationed around there and it was shooting missiles. Our car crashed in a building and I escaped. Robin was still inside when it was hit by a missile but he also managed to escape safely. As we ran away from the car, my alarm rang and I woke up... whew.
As for some analysis, I passed around that area of Shinjuku just yesterday, and elsewhere at night I thought of taking photos of the sky. And trying to read what's on the UFOs reminds me that I checked out this weird drone on Earthfiles a month or so ago. Interesting though is that I don't remember seeing the word 「天人」 before, or maybe I have and it had remained in my subconscious.
And now for another freaky story but this time 100% real...
This morning on Saikyō line, a middle-aged lady who stood nearby was playing with her long black hair and I noticed something falling on the floor. I looked down and... it was a cockroach!!! I didn't want to believe it and kept looking at the thing hoping to realize that it was something else, but it moved!!! EEEEEW. The lady didn't look like she was homeless, she didn't look too dirty though not very clean either, obviously. Oh, and she didn't seem to notice (or care!??).
Makes me feel itchy just to think about it...

I'm starring in a dream, how incredible is that ;) Thank you for sharing, but I got to ask what prompted you to write it. Was it my recent post? Speaking of coïncidence, I was feeling a headache inching its way towards me, first symptom being tunnel vision usually brought on by unhealthy diet, except I'm pretty careful these days. I met my uncle a couple hours later and he just had a meal heavy on fat (poor liver). I'm getting spooked.

Fast! :)
> but I got to ask what prompted you to write it. Was it my recent post?
No no, not at all. I even wrote it before catching up with your blog. I just thought I'd share it with you, and why not do so on my blog. :)
Tunnel vision, I've felt that a few times before but didn't know what it was called. I hope you'll feel better soon.
Be careful with your health!

Don't worry, there was light at the end of the tunnel vision a few hours later. I'm feeling fine now :)

Hope there was no bad part of Fugu in your last sushi. We all have weird dreams from time to time but UFOs must have their root in either to much cheap cartoon movies, abuse of video consoles or poison fish. Better head for your vacation soon ;-)
Best

I haven't had too much of any of that, but maybe I'm due for a vacation yes. :)

I wish my mind was capable of this type of dreaming... I just get darkness... :-(
