Goes to bed after watching series about a hot red head who's a chess genius with the girlfriend through Skype.
(Dream)
Nightmare starts with my father saying something about "Satan is on his way.".
Meet Satan, he is a black shadow clearly visible, tall and thin, no visible characteristics, does not speak. Has evil aura that I felt strongly before seeing him.
Confront Satan who is meeting me when I relax and let my guard down, when I confront him he goes away and my anxiety/dread is forgotten until the next time he appears with the well known prelude of anxiety catching up from somewhere unknown. Setting is light and a big library filled with unknown treasures and interesting things in general.
By the third time it is I instead who is looking for him, tired of him trying to put me in a bad mood. He his hiding from me, my internal light is strong and unyielding and I no longer allow myself to be in a state of non-presence since he preys on me while I do.
I walk in my hometown and see that the local park has been completely remade and the school I went to in my first 9 years have also been located there. The trees has been replaced by bigger taller trees and the whole park is much larger and big fields of gravel has replaced the previous landscape. I figure that it is the future, the sun is shining and the trees have traces of sun yellow leafs that quietly fall in the cathedral like alleys.
I meet Satan again. He is a fallen angel, I am Eru, God in Tolkiens Universe. I guess that makes him Melkor. (I never read the books) I smile as Buddha as I fly through the world in lotus position and informs him that whatever he does will only benefit my creation in the ultimates end.
I trap his defiant being on a chess board, check mate. He accepts my will and succumbs to my intense joyous love, my radiant presence. I forgive his nature and enjoy the rest of the dream together with him.
08:30 - 08:35
I wake up, drenched in sweat. Visit the bathroom and goes back to bed.
08:35 - 10:50
Sleep well. Dream about trying out odd motorcycles, they are in an old shed and are unusually large. I like them and have some difficulty choosing which one I want to keep.
10:50 - 13:00
I haven't done the dishes since last weekend, I did get a Christmas tree in place yesterday though and now my living room is a mess with green little pine needles everywhere. I vacuum the worst and collect some trash. Lies down on the sofa and starts Microsoft Teams for the first meeting.
Before joining I order a capricciosa pizza by phone, it arrives and I prepare my feast before joining the group by my laptop.
I listen, participate in some details but take a nap on the sofa listening with half an ear, my microphone and camera is turned off. There is a PowerPoint shared that I glance towards from time to time.
14:30 - 15:00
Time to walk to work. It is typical gray coastal weather. Light precipitation and pretty warm, I skip the scarf but wear gloves and my hat. Cozy. I walk slowly and in presence,
As usual. I observe the houses and the people who I walk past. Today will be pretty good I think, not so much to do at work, unusual because of the season but corona has part in it.
15:00 - 16:30
Meeting with colleagues, we sit in a big circle not to infect each other. General theme is about the changes last weeks at work and we trade stories and talks about personal development. One group member in particular annoys me, tries too hard, desperate to be seen, want to be top hierarchy. I allow it, there is a cold war between us. Our inputs to the discussion are finely and discretely tuned attacks on each others subjectively perceived weaknesses. I notice a twitch in her left eye. I won. I wonder if the rest notice the dynamic.
16:30 - 21:00
Current time. Time for work. It's a calm shift. Meet new colleague, older than me, not interested in drama, I am calm and we work well it seems. Team efforts are important.
Things are relaxed and in control. I have time to read DAK, sends link to my dad, looking forward to playing another game of correspondence chess. Yesterday I lost twice.
