Dreams (CXLV) – 5/29

Thinking Beyond the Box

May 29

5/29/22 #1:

I was coaching a VB team, "The Out of Illinois Squad" in the state championship. Only LLCC alumni from abroad, MO, and IN were on the team. I watched the end from a sky cam. Sarah Mueller won the match with a serve that hit the net and trickled over. I came down and Kayla H. was mad because she was totaling stats. I asked her--would you rather have kept stats or just be totaling them? She said, "Good point, Dietz" and we walked off the field.

I was in a volleyball storage room. It went on forever like the equipment room from 'The Matrix'. There were antennae of all types--clip on, ones with velcro straps. There were black ball carts everywhere. There were also old-school 1970s televisions on shelves. I didn't question why the TVs were with the 'normal' gear.

I was in a classroom taking a test when I decided to put socks on, but they embarassed me. They were white with red and blue stripes and said "Cubs Win" along the side. My mom saw me there. She wouldn't look at me, but she was in a pink bathrobe, so I knew things were okay. We walked down a long street with an underpass and went into a building for a volleyball tournament. I wanted to check my team in, but the team wasn't there. Neither was the desk attendant. I tried to read the schedule, but it was printed in 0.5-font, so I decided to wait, but then I couldn't find my mom and had to wait all alone.

Only a little remains...I'm standing on a baseball diamond except it is styled like a high school "pit" gymnasium. I want to go inside the dugout but I can't because Tony LaRussa has put up sandbags and a machine gun nest to keep out 'unAmericans' so I couldn't get closer to it than the pitcher's mound.

5/29/10:

I'm playing fullback on the US World Cup Team, playing against Britain...except the game is played where I attended grade school. Britain misses a kick and it rolls down the road to Mr. Ferris's house. The goalie throws it back but doesn't come back himself. Then I can't stop the English striker and a shot goes past me causing the US to lose 1-0 so I go home and eat Poptarts.
