It was the office dream in the world no doubt about it in fact it seem to be the only dream there was.
He was a mourning type so it was unusual that he should feel depressed in the morning he tried to account for it and could not he was a healthy man so he. a healthy breakfast he was not too depressed for that and he listened unconsciously to the dark go with the musical voice often she. at calles in the mornings with her girlfriend. Grape juice pineapple juice orange juice apple juice why did people look at him suspiciously just because he took four or five sorts of juice for breakfast.
Agnes it was ghastly I was built like a sack a sack full of skunk cabbage I swear and I was green brown color and had hair like a latrine mop agnes or the sick with misery it just isn’t possible for anybody to feel so low I can’t shake it at all.
And the whole world was like the underside of a log it wasn’t that though it wasn’t just one bunch of things it was everything it was a world where things just weren’t worth living. I can’t come out of it. Terror he said was only a dream.
Sausage only for little links for an order to people think it was a glutton because he had for orders a sausage it didn’t seem like very much.
My mother was a monster she was a warthog is animal and yet she was still recognizable. How could my mother looked like a would hogan still look like my mother mom is pretty. Theresa it was only a dream forget it.
The stairs a man must suffer just to get it doesn’t pancakes on his plate.
What was the matter with people who called for pancakes it all stack and what was odd about ordering a quarter of a pound of butter it was better than having to of those little pats each on it’s coaster. Agnes we all of us had eyes that bugged out and we stank we were bloated and all the time it rained a dirty green rain that smelled like a four letter word good grief girl we had hair all over us where we want warts and we talked like cracked crows we had a cruel as I it’s just from thinking.
About it. And the dirty parts of the dream I won’t even tell you. I’ve never felt so blue and my life and just to know how I’ll make the day through.
Theresa at all how could a dream upset you so much. There isn’t a thing wrong with ordering three eggs sunny side up and three over easy and three poached ever so soft and six of them scrambled what laws as a man should have all of his ex fixed to like nor is there anything wrong with ordering five cups of coffee.
That way the girl doesn’t have to keep running over with refills. Baskin swaisgood like to have bacon and waffles after the egg interlude and the earlier courses but he was nearly at the end of his breakfast when he jumped up what did she say.
He was surprised at the violence of his own voice. What did you say mister was good. The girl that was just hear the just left with the other girl that was dureza and the other girl was agnes or else that was agnes and the other girl was dureza depends on which girl mean I don’t know what either of them said. Baskin run out into the street.
Girl the girl who said it rains dirty green all the time what’s your name. My name is teresa you’ve met me four times every morning you look like he never saw me before. I magnus said agnes.
What did you mean it rains dirty green all the time tell me all about it. I will not mr so I good I was just telling a dream I had to agnes it isn’t any of your business well I have to hear all of it tell me everything you dreamed. I will not it was a dirty dream. It isn’t any of your business if you want a friend of my uncle at kelly I’d cool a policeman feel bothering me.
Did you have things like live rats in your stomach to digest for you did they oh how did you know get away from me I will call a policeman mr mccarthy this man is annoying me. The devil years miss a nanny us out boscombe just doesn’t have it in him anymore there’s no more harm and him in a lamppost did the lamp posts have hair on the mysteries a dependent swell and smell green oh you couldn’t know you’re awful man. I magnus said agnes batteries a drag darkness away with her.
What is the lamppost jag basque I’m asked officer masback mccarty. Ah I know what it is like to be in hell masback I dreamed of it last night.
And well you should a man who neglects is easter duty year after year but the lamppost jack if it concerns anything of my beat up to know about it. It seems that I have the same depressing dream as the young lady identical in every detail.
Not knowing what dreams are and we do not know we should not find it strange the two people might have the same dream they may not be enough for them to go around most dreams have forgotten in the morning. Baskin twice good had forgotten his dismal dream he could not account for his state of depression until he heard teresa a nanny a stunning pieces of her own dream to agnes shown up for.
Even then it came back to him slowly at first but after which with a rush. The oddity wasn’t that two people should have the same dream that that they should discover the coincidence what with thousands of people running around and most of the dreams forgotten yet if it were a coincidence it was a multiplex one.
On the night when it was first made manifest it must have been drained by quite a number of people in one medium large city. There was a small piece in an afternoon paper one doctor had five different word patients who had had dreams of rats in their stomachs and hair growing on the insides of their mouths this was the first publication of the shared dream phenomenon. The script did not mention the foul green rain background but later investigation uncovered that this and other details were common to the dreams.
But it was a reporter named willy wagoner who really but the town on the map until he did the job the incidents and notices had been isolated doctor her own judas had been putting together some notes on the green rain syndrome doctor florence appian had been working up as evidence on the or x ventricular trauma and professor gideon great house had come to say. I’m learned conclusions on the in a meaning of watts but it was really were gonna who went to the people for it and then gave his conclusions back to the people.
Will he said that he had interviewed a thousand people at random you haven’t really he had talked to about twenty it takes longer than you might think to interview thousand people. He reported that slightly more than sixty seven percent had had a dream of the same repulsive world he reported that more than forty four percent had had the dream more than once thirty two percent more than twice twenty seven percent more than three times many had had it every damn night and many refused thrust elite answer questions on the subject at all. This was ten days after baskets weiss good had heard theresa and on yes tell her dream to agnes. Willie publish the opinions of the three learned gentlemen above and the theories and comments have many more he also appended to hatful of answers he had received that was she a levity.
But the phenomenon was not local. Lag in his article was the first comprehensive or least worthy treatment of it but only by hours similar things were another papers that very afternoon and the next day. It was more than a fat those who called it a fad fell silent after they themselves experience the dream the suicide index rose around the country and the world. The thing was now international.
The coffin a sticky green rain was an old the jukes as was the what hoke song. People began to low themselves and each other. Women feared that they would give birth to monsters.
There were new perversions committed in the name of the thing and several orgiastic societies were formed with the stomach rat as a symbol. All entertainment was forgotten and this was the only topic.
Nervous disorders took a fearful rice is people tried to stay awake to avoid the abomination and as they slept in spite of themselves and suffered the degradation. It is no joke to experience the same loathsome dream all night every night it had actually come to that all the people were dreaming it all night every night it had passed from being a joke to being a universal menace.
Even the sudden new millionaires who rushed their cues to the market were not happy they also suffered whenever they slept and the new that vacuous were not cures. There were large amounts posted for anyone who could cure the populace of the warthog people dreams. There was presidential edict and dictated decree and military teams attacked the thing as a military problem but they were not able to sit do it then one night a nervous lady had a voice in her noise and dream. It was one of the repulsive cracked what hope voices he who are not dreaming said the voice this is the real world but when you wake you will be dreaming.
That bare faced world is another world at all and is only a dream this is the real world. The lady awoke howling and she had not how and before for she was a denier lady know what she the only one who awoke howling there are hundreds then thousands than millions the voice spoke to all and engendered a doubt. Which was the real world. Almost equal time was now spent in each for the people had come to need more sleep and most of them had arrived at spending a full twelve hours or more and the nightmarish world. It could be was the title of a headlined article on the subject by the same professor great house mentioned above. It could be he said that the world on which the green rain fell incessantly was the real world it could be that the what hoax were real and the people a dream it could be that rats in the stomach when normal and other methods of digestion were kind medical. Then a very great man went on the air and worldwide broadcast with the speech that was a ringing cool the collective sanity. It was the our of decision he said the decision would be made things worse in exact balance and the balance would be tipped.
But we can decide one way or the other we will decide I implore you all in the name of sanity that you decide right. One well go the other will be the world of tomorrow. One of them is real and one of them is a dream both that with us now and the favor can go to either but listen to me here.
Whichever one wins the other will have always been a dream a momentary madness soon forgotten. I urge you to the sanity which in a measure I have lost myself yet in our darkened dilemma I feel that we yet have a choice. Choose.
And perhaps that was the turning point the math dream disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared the world came back to normal within embarrassed to laugh it was all over. It lasted from it’s inception six weeks. Baskin weiss good and mourning type felt excellent this morning.
He breakfast did at k hills and he ordered heavily as always and he listened with how funny it to the conversation of two girls at the table next to his. But I should know you he said. Of course I’m theresa. I magnus said agnes.
Mr swayze good how could you forget it was when the dreams first came and you have had me telling mind to agnes then he ran after us in the street because you had had the same dream and I wanted to have you arrested when they horrible dreams.
And have they ever found out what caused them. They were horrible and they have not found out they ascribe it to group mania which is meaningless and now there are those who say that the dreams never came at all and soon there will be nearly forgotten but the horror of them the loneliness. Yes we hadn’t even particularly to korea body hair we must hadn’t had any body hair.
Theresa was an attractive girl she had a cute trick of popping the smallest rat out of her mouth so could see what was coming into her stomach.
She was bowl of some beautiful. Like a sack full of skunk cabbage baskin murmured admiringly in his head and then flushed green it is for witness a phrase teresa had protuberances upon protuberances and watson warts and hair all over her where she wasn’t warts and bumps like in the treme up site baskin withdrew admiration the cracked clang of theresa.
His voice was music in the early morning.
Oh was right with the earth again.
Gone the hideous nightmare world when people it’s did bare faced and lonely without bodily friends or dependence gone that ghastly world of the sick blue sky in the near absence of entrancing odor basque him attacked manfully his plate of prime carrion and outside the pungent green rain fell incessantly.
