Neighbors Doll

August 20th;

(My Perspective): Last night, I had a dream where my family was getting ready to host relatives from out of town at our house. Our family was coming to help celebrate my autistic dream sibling's birthday in the next 2 days. My little brother loved sleeping downstairs on the floor, buried under stuffed animals with a dark blue blanket. He slept right next to a Christmas tree that was fully lit in this small sitting room. He chose the floor over the couch.

(Not My Perspective): Meanwhile, the Home Alone movie guys went next door to try and rob our neighbor. She was presumed to be out of town; the timing was no less than perfect. As they slunk through her backyard and slowly approached the backdoor, it had a warning on it in big letters. "Thieves stay away" was scrawled in big letters on the door. They decided to ignore this first and only warning. The door slowly creaked open, and for just a second, a tall and pale woman looked at them from within. Shocked to learn the building was not empty yet committed to the crime, they decided to enter the house anyway, ready for a fight. However, the moment they crossed the threshold, they found themselves alone. The mysterious lady was nowhere to be seen. To their left was a small and empty living room; the only light present was that which seeped in through a window on the other side of the room. A woman laid covered from head to toe under a blanket (presumably this was the neighbor), dead on the cold floor. If she was dead, then who had they seen behind the door? As the two turned to their right, a child-sized doll stood in a small space immediately to their right. It attacked, biting off an ear and then closing its mouth around one of the goons head, biting it clean off without hesitation. With one down, the other was long gone. Though he was dead, the body would still have its uses, just like the one on the living room floor.


(My Perspective): Next thing I know, a guest stops by my house. It's our neighbor, what a surprise, I thought she was out of town. It was such a pleasure to see her, although I heard a strange clicking and popping sound when she moved; I hope she is okay. I told her about my brother's birthday, and she offered to bring something for him, how nice. Mom thought it was a bad idea but did not want to be impolite; my brother can be very picky. I told her to feel free to prepare a toy, and she left with such excitement that it was contagious. I couldn't help feeling a bit curious and excited to see what she brings.


(Not My Perspective): The other me, the witness, he knew my brother was gonna love the doll our neighbor would be bringing him and that he would sleep with it right beside the Christmas tree.


P.S. This is a good reason for me to not like dolls.

Does Knowledge Puffeth Up?

Biblical Hermeneutics Why one might ask, is hermeneutics important? Have you ever heard the saying that knowledge puffeth up? It comes from 1 Corinthians 8:1 wherein which I have often heard it said to me as a form of discouragement due to my love of research and knowledge. The reason proposed is that knowledge makes you prideful; thus, knowledge is a dangerous pursuit for those not pastors. This idea is not only far from what Paul was trying to say, but it also contradicts statements like what is written in Hebrews 5:11-14. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 "Knowledge puffs up, and love edifies" is best understood when read in its entirety and in comparison with "Acts 15:20; "Abstain from things contaminated by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood" which was written to Gentile believers and is the 4 rules that they had been given instead of being given the law as Jewish believers had insisted at the time. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 is ...

Preferred Prey

Photo by Dan Dennis on Unsplash December 4, 2020 In this dream, I was watching a tv show. A were-cat (not to be confused with a werewolf) was living on his own in a post-apocalyptic world. I shall call him "Prey." As he walked, he found himself upon an elevated plain where another were-cat appeared that I shall call "Hunter."  Hunter saw Prey, and both men responded to each other by shifting from human form into a semi-human form with long tails and spotted fur, like cheetahs or jaguars. A 70mph chase ensued across the plateau with Hunter in hot pursuit. Because both were running at the same speed, this was not a chase that would end quickly.  Both men had limited stamina, just like actual big cats. Eventually, the chase came to an end when their energy ran out. Hunter proposed a truce because they found themselves surrounded by trees (bear territory) and it would be safer if they stuck together. Both agreed to this plan, and they began journeying out of the fores...

Dream Characters

May 4th Jennifer Scarlet, a female interviewer that starts working as an investigative journalist. She begins by interviewing her favorite actor, an eccentric man, in his lovely home alongside her more experienced co-host, a seasoned journalist in his late 30's or early 40's. The camera crew had to guide her on where to sit to best fit herself into the camera's line of sight because she was doing a horrible job. She seemed uncomfortable sitting near her idol and her co-cost, which often led her to sit off-camera or far from the others. Despite all of this, s he is later allowed to interview someone even greater than her idol, and she will do it without a co-host. Despite her lack of skill, she is requested to interview the immortal assassin known as Singbit/Singbite. He chose her specifically, and she decided to take the job. As I began to cross into the waking world, the dream became jumbled up with my waking thoughts; together, the two began to tell the story of Singbit...
