Bedtime:
Wanted
Sex & Seduction
Power Can Corrupt
Ascension Chamber
I tried like hell staying awake long enough to be awake-ish when AC came on.
#FAIL
Fell asleep in Wanted. Was too much in my head I guess. It’s easy for me to fall asleep fast. Always has been. And THEN I was on submarines for a few years. THAT will teach most people how to sleep anywhere all by itself.
2 dreams I remember
Dream #1
More of a snippet than anything.
Some guy is starting a charity. Has a video/ad/commercial type thing he’s using to get people to donate.
At some point, MacGyver (from the newer Lucas Till version) takes a look at the video, and says “This charity is fake!” He spotted something nobody else did.
The logo for the charity, as shown in the video, had a large circle as part of it.
Turns out the circle part was made with a bunch of Froot Loops glued to the sign haha.
They confront the guy, he says "It isn’t fake. I just didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a sign yet. The money is better used by the people we help. He was bootstrapping.
They helped him get a proper sign made to help him along.

Dream #2
This one is more of a doozie.
I’m on the campus of some college/university.
Some mysterious guy hands me one of those fogger things like beekeepers use.
He tells me that Rittenhouse (the evil bad guy organization from the show “Timeless”) has allegedly buried a cache of gold on the campus somewhere. He and his people want it found to be able to use it, since Rittenhouse “won’t need it.”
He tells me this fogger’s smoke will appear purple wherever the gold is buried. Due to some interaction with methane(?).
I walk around just trying to inconspicuously spray this fog over the ground.
It shows up purple in one spot, so I decide in my head I’m gonna start digging before the guy sees me digging. Like see if I can get gold for myself.
I dig and dig. nothing…finally I hit what looks like a gold coin, but it’s just aluminum coin and gold-plated it seems like. very flimsy.
I dig through the dirt more, not even taking it out of the hole. find tons of these fake gold coins, and what seems to be a rea silver one. I pocket that.
Suddenly some new guy is there. He seems to have been played by Tiny Lister. big dude.
scary. He says "Looks like you found the location. Where’s the gold? I show him the fake coins. He then says “What about the one in your pocket? I saw you take it.”
Damn.
I pull that out, and now it’s fake silver anyway lol.
suddenly all the dirt is out of the hole, and I realize they just put an entire car in the hole.
There’s a sort of intercom speaker where the dome light would be. It has tape over it holding the buttons down.
I realize Rittenhouse must have buried someone alive in the car (no bodies, though. Thank you, dream).
They had the tape down so they could hear the person pleading to be let go as s/he died. That realization hit me pretty hard.
Now, the wife is in the car/hole with me trying to find the gold in the car. Tiny Lister is above the hole with a rifle, basically keeping us in the hole at gunpoint.
I tell him I need (forgot what) to keep digging. So he gives me an armed escort and lets me out of the hole. I remember I’m walking around trying to find X.
At some point I’m in the school kitchen, and see a hologram of the wife. It’s showing her in the car. I tell her I’m trying to find X as quick as I can so we can figure a way out of here, knowing Tiny and his goons will probably kill us anyway. Since the hole’s already dug.
I had a brief thought that I could just leave. I reasoned that if I leave, they’d likely just keep her in the car and rebury it. I woke up as I was trying to decide what to do.
Talk about disturbing on that last part. Even as I woke up, I felt bad.
