Shout out to my boyfriend who built a blanket fort for his dogs and me for us to hide under while fireworks go off. I'm sure they're still going off, but I've got noise canceling headphones on and we're watching cute animal videos on youtube. I hate fireworks almost as much as I do storms.

Wait, did Kanye West really announce he's running for president or was that a joke? Cause I really can't tell. Although, I'm guessing that everyone else is pretty much in the same boat.

So.... is there any sort of consensus or whatever on how similar the Dreams mirror your lives? Obviously not like magic or the time period or anything like that since that seems something only here. But....events or dynamics or something?

Also...can you have a nightmare in a Dream? Is that a thing? Like you wake up from a nightmare but you're still in the Dream that people talk about on here? Also why is part of my hair white?

Now that I'm back home with my brother, introductions are in order. I'm Richie Gecko, little brother to the pain in the ass, Seth Gecko. It's actually nice to be on solid ground and staying in one place for longer than a few days or a month. Work is a pain in the ass that way, but I have no intention of going anywhere any time soon.

So. I think I understand why you all talk about dreams so much. because I had one last night that was super intense. Like it started with me going to my best friend's house and hanging upside down on his front porch which seems like a thing I do often, cause I was really comfortable with it and it just felt normal. But then we went looking for a dead body in the woods, because I'd been listening to my dad's police scanner cause he's the sheriff. He caught me, I abandoned Scott in the woods and the next day he said he got attacked by something, like a wolf but there are no wolves in California.

I started putting the pieces together, and realised my friend had been bit by a werewolf. Completely absurd, I know. He blew me off, but then he invited the new girl to a party and the party was the night of the full moon and I had a really bad feeling about it. I did a lot of research and when Scott came over, he got really angry with me which never happens because he knows how I am, and he slammed me into the wall and I thought he was going to hit me, but he didn't and he went to the party, but he had to leave because he started turning into a werewolf!

LYDIA! You were there and you like completely blew me off. Like that was normal. So rude! And DEREK was there too! Being broody and creepy and sulky too.

The Underworld did remarkably well for the 4th of July. And fireworks weren't the only thing that ended in a bang last night.

Katherine and I said "fuck it" and got married by Elvis at a 24 hour chapel. We will be having an official ceremony later this month, but, hey, I have a wife.

I finally know who killed Lilly. I can't say...it was what I was expecting. And I'm not really sure I feel any better now that I know.

My dreams have gotten a lot more...troubling. to say the least I'm not even sure how to start unpacking the things that have happened. I was just a kid

Had another cycle of dreams and I honestly feel like I'm starting to get whiplash or something. My life seems to have more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Only you know, it's my life so... Or dream life anyway. Either way, I'm feeling more than a bit overwhelmed. I don't even want to go to sleep, because who even knows what's next at this point!
