I hung out with Mark and Jayne yesterday. I got to their place at 10 am. We took a taxi to Lyttelton to attend the farmers market. It was quite difficult for them because of how slanted the ground was.
I really love the atmosphere over there. It feels so different than Christchurch! It feels like it has so much more life and personality!
We walked through the stalls for a little while. They bought a few things. It was the same day as SailGP, which is an international sailing race. It was taking place there in Lyttelton later that day.
We took a taxi back to their place and then went for lunch. I was with them for six hours. It went by so much faster than a four hour shift at Dimitri’s.
I’ve been thinking more about how long I want to stay in Christchurch. I was thinking of maybe staying at Vipassana for about a month. I just don’t know what’s happening when mom gets here. I don’t if I’m going with her to Australia. I guess that doesn’t affect Vipassana. If I’m not joining her, then that means I’d leave New Zealand around the end of July.
Today she asked if I’d help her plan her stay in New Zealand. She wants to do hikes but doesn’t really know how to plan it. I don’t really know either. I can ask Pierre and Douma for advice.
It’s fall here. All the leaves are starting to change colours. It looks really cool.
Dreams
I had a large hamster enclosure. It had been a long time since I’d checked in on him. Most of the bedding was gone and there were somehow many more hamsters.
I gave them some water. For some reason I poured directly onto the floor. There was already a lot of water for some reason. The hamsters were basically swimming around with their heads above the water.
The rising water allowed two hamsters to escape over their fence. I went to retrieve them. I grabbed the first one and carried him back. I dropped him into his enclosure.
He completely splattered when he hit the ground. It was like dropping a mashed potato. I tried picking him back up but he disintegrated even more. He was still alive somehow. Eventually he was just a head and a spinal chord. He wriggled away. I felt very guilty.
I retrieved the other hamster. He was fine.
All of the hamsters were now cats.
I was in a circle of people. We were playing a game. I moved next to a girl. I had my arm around her. I removed my hand, fearing it may be inappropriate, but she grabbed my arm and put it back around her.
A different girl suddenly fell over. She began coughing and vomiting white liquid into the air. I tried to get her water.
I was at work in a city. It was night time. I was closing up the shop. I was talking to a friendly coworker. She told me that she thinks of God to help her get to sleep.
I asked her ‘in what form does she think of God.’ I can’t remember what she said.

Someone standing by a window was very excited. They were calling for me. I ran over. I looked out the window and saw a couple of small black aliens slowly walk out from behind a wall.
I was so happy and excited. I fell backwards in slow motion and my eyes went up into my head in ecstasy.
