It would seem that various parts of my dreams still surprise me on occasion. Lily and I have taken in a pet, it would seem. Her name is Justine and I suppose we saved her from a truly horrific establishment which tortures and kills young women for fun. We ended up killing all of the people there then brought Justine home to offer her a new life. I have this sneaking suspicion, however, that this will not go well.

Things are much calmer and less bloody in the waking world, however. Vanessa and I spent some time on my yacht this weekend with a couple of her friends. It had been quite some time since the yacht had been taken out, but I thought it was about time. We may have to spend more time on it this summer. Put it to good use.

I think I've finally decided on what I'm going to do. I'm preparing myself to call my Father and explain that I can't run the business any longer. I just don't have it in me anymore to do it. It's not what I want to do with my life.

I'm of the belief that the dreams are attempting to punish me. Or at least in the dreams the universe at large is attempting to punish me by trapping me in the rain with Hal. I believe that I detest the rainy season and its habit of making cliche 'trapped in the rain with the person you have feelings for' situations. Honestly, it's hardly original. And yet, I get to live through it anyway.

I wish I could say that I hadn't acted out similar situations outside of my dreams in films I've been in. I'm sure I will do it again sometime. I almost think being stuck with my nephews and niece would be less trying to me at this moment.

My dreams continue to get more interesting and absurd at the same time. Lily now knows my secret. She somehow knew it all along and instead of killing her as I had Angelique, we had sex. Then for whatever strange reason, we decided to don completely white ensembles and dance around my ballroom. We were interrupted by Victor, who did not seem too pleased that Lily and I were together and when she revealed that she knew what she was, to him, he shot her, despite knowing it likely wouldn't kill her. He then shot me and seemed extremely shocked when I didn't die. After Victor left, Lily and I proceeded to continue dancing around and bleeding all over the place.

I'll admit, I feel bad for Victor. He is clearly in love with Lily and was quite distraught at seeing us together.

My mother showed up out of the blue last weekend for a visit. And she’s still here. I’ve been trying really hard to keep her out of my apartment so she doesn’t get assaulted by some random haunting, and so she doesn’t see the Hole in my bathroom.

It’s not like there aren’t a thousand things to do in Orange County to distract her with, but she’s starting to get fussy with me. Like she really wants to see my apartment. I’m not sure what to do.

My neighbor problems might just have sorted themselves out. It's been quiet over there the past two days or so, until I got woken up at midnight to someone shouting about the place being trashed. Looks like the parents finally came home, unexpectedly at that.

I tried to spy out the window the best I could without being seen, and I think I saw all of them leave. Here's hoping they're going to stay with grandparents or someone else from now on, while the parents are gone.

So far no strange dreams, but I'm not complaining. I'm actually perfectly okay with this development.

I have to say, however, that the company in the OC has been much better than previously expected thanks to some familiar faces and a couple new ones. So I guess I might stick around for a little while. I might live to regret this decision, but it wouldn't be the first time, so I think I'll survive.

I have to admit I did not expect love potions to be something you could buy but over the last week I have been enlightened. I definitely didn't expect them to be as popular as they are though. Surely people don't truly believe they work?

Dream Dorian appears to be very fickle when it comes to matters of the heart. Aside from my intense feelings for Vanessa if would appear that my feelings for Angelique are being overshadowed by Brona's reappearance; or Lily as she's now calling herself. I took her to a very macabre wax museum. I'm unsure what I told Angelique in order to go out on a date with someone else, but I'm fairly certain this won't end well for someone.

Ugh, seriously? I have to dream about running around in the towel again, which was not fun the first time. At least I kept Mike, dream Mike that is, from sneaking a peek while I put on clothes. Then it's off to find Ashley and Chris tied to chairs, if memory serves me right anyway.

When I woke up from my nap, my backpack from the dreams was sitting on the foot of my bed. Inside it was the lovely outfit I put on. I'm still convinced that dream me is an idiot for bringing capri yoga pants to the lodge.

It's interesting how many people make the automatic assumption that simply because I'm a white, rich, man; I must have voted for Trump. I can assure everyone that that was not the case. I'm fairly certain that Trump and his VP would be horrified by the lifestyle I've led the last couple of years.

The death table has been sold for a decent amount, so that's out of the way now.

The uniform and the half melted helmet are, for now, at the back of the guest room closet. We'll see how it goes from there.

I've been thinking about throwing a masquerade party for Halloween. The ballroom hasn't been used in such a long time and after my recent dreams about Angelique's coming out ball, I simply can't stop thinking about it. There would be an open invitation to anyone here who wanted to come of course. The more the merrier after all.

It is made from a bottle of vodka. There are bottles of vodka that are skull shaped. I will find one tomorrow so that I can make a light of it. I do not know anything about electronics but it could not be that hard, this man made one!

All of these dreams about London makes me want to take a trip there. Granted, it's a very different time in my dreams, but that doesn't discourage me one bit. I've always enjoyed London when I've gone. However, I'm not sure if now is the right time to go there. Perhaps I'll take Vanessa to France instead. I haven't been there in quite some time.

In other news, the Need/Want will be having a July 4th celebration - and we're going to be as kitschy as possible - red white and blue is the dress code for bother guests and employees, we'll even be having a bbq. I do hope people will come and have a little fun.

It's rather interesting, dreaming about one woman and waking up next to another. I'm lucky that Vanessa isn't the jealous type; not that we can control our subconscience of course. And it's even more difficult with these type of dreams.

I was under the impression that most men in Victorian London were gentlemen. The men that Angelique and I ran into at the theater certainly weren't gentlemen. The encounter shook Angelique's confidence quite a lot and I had to reassure her that I only cared about the internal, rather than her exterior.

I knew there was something intriguing about Angelique and now I know what it is. When we parted, in the dreams, she gave me her card, which was to a brothel. I had already figured out that she was a prostitute, so that wasn't exactly a surprise. I also had another theory about her, so I went to the brothel. Her Madame told me, 'that I should handle her firmly since she was wilful like a child' and that I wouldn't be disappointed. I certainly wasn't. In fact, I was extremely intrigued, because I was right about my theory. For those who are curious, Angelique was transgender.

I have to say, these dreams continue to surprise and intrigue me.

How would one ask their significant other to move in with them? I've never done something like this before, but Vanessa spends enough nights at my house, that I feel it's the right thing to do. I'm simply lacking on how to go about it. I could either do something extravagant or something simple, but I don't know which. It's rather unnerving to be so unsure about something. Normally I don't even question how I'm going to do something, but this is different and I want it to be perfect.

I still can't believe how different new sets of dreams can be while still being, in all the important aspects, very similar. While I'm delighted that these dreams are lacking in witches and demons and vampires, that's about all I can find that's good about them.

Certainly this time around my mistakes are made obvious much sooner. Nothing that can be fixed now that I have the gift of hindsight.

My Dreams make me seem as if I am a better person there than I am here. My fate there seems more uncertain. I can't decide which world is better for me. There, where I am a better person with an uncertain fate, or here where I am a happier person with a chance to live.

I suppose some things aren't meant to be understood.

It would seem that my dream counterpart is spending quite a lot of time pining for Vanessa. In my most recent dream, while sitting at a cafe, pining over a picture of Vanessa, I met a very interesting woman named Angelique. She's quite intriguing, but in a different way from Vanessa. I can only wonder what will follow this meeting. I can tell that I still care very much about Vanessa, but at the same time, I want to know more about Angelique. I suppose only time will tell.

Among things I've never wanted to do, going to spooky mansions to hunt witches is not one of them. And yet this is precisely what my dream self is roped into doing. And I would hate to break the current trend of dream talk, so I had to add my own input.

At the very least, these dreams are consistent in that they never cease to become more and more messed up.
