An Atlanta Braves Event

I had this dream when I fell asleep on the living room couch until after 7 AM.

All that I can remember of the end of this dream is that it took place during the day in a fictional city I assume, and I was outside with a group of men and women including at least one woman with dark color skin and my former male classmate EC.

I am not sure what we did in the forgotten parts of the dream or where we were going, I just remember us walking through neighborhoods and along sidewalks on our way somewhere.

While passing through one neighborhood there was something that happened that I can not remember that involved a dog and an old woman with light-color skin who owned the dog, and our group got split up leaving just EC and I traveling as a separate group.

At this point I had a baseball bat and one of my legs was hurt it seemed because I was limping and it was bothering me/maybe it hurt, and I used the baseball bat to help me walk.

We reached the end of the sidewalk that was possibly near a highway and/or bridge, and we turned left along it passing through what looked like the bus stop area of a school maybe.

There were probably some parents and teachers and coaches and some other people there, and I remember one woman talking to a coach or teacher about how her son was on the American football team and had been injured and how that was impacting him et cetera.

After walking past this the next thing that I remember is somehow seeing a video of It’sAGundam talking about some news involving the Atlanta Braves baseball team, it was probably not good because I remember him complaining about it.

Gundam watched a video showing an indoor Atlanta Braves event that was taking place inside a small room, and The President Of The United States Donald Trump was there as a special guest among the team and coaches et cetera.

They were standing up during the event, and the next thing that I remember is a scene or video of Gundam at an indoor Atlanta Braves event.

The Braves had a new coach, he was only one among several coaches, and he was a man with light-color skin with short orange/brown hair and facial hair and he was wearing a black leather jacket.

This new coach was a tell it like it is/say what he thinks macho not politically correct Hunter S. Thompson-like man who was probably going to say and/or do something that would offend some people, but Gundam liked him and felt that he would help improve the Atlanta Braves.

They were all standing up during the event and Gundam was standing with the new coach and the other coaches and the players, and I remember someone having a live performance with dancing and singing with a man or woman dressed like maybe David Bowie wearing a long maybe white straight wig and a lot of makeup.

Gundam was really liking the performance and the performer it seemed based on his facial expressions et cetera, and the new coach warned Gundam about this and reminded him about his wife and that he was married.

I was surprised when I heard this because as far as I knew Gundam was not married, and so this confused me; and I was not sure if the David Bowie-like performer was a woman or man, but I woke up.

In the real world when I woke up on the living room couch, as I was trying to remember my dreams I heard what I thought was the doorbell, and it sounded like the Westminster Chimes/Westminster Quarters which used to be the chime for our previous doorbell but it is not the chime that we are using for our new doorbell (it does have that chime though).

This sound interrupted me trying to remember my dreams which caused me to forget most of them as I got up to see if someone was at the door, I moved slowly, and when I looked I saw no one at the door; and then I realized that chime is not the current chime that we are using, and so I wondered if I had hallucinated the sound or if it was just a church bell in the distance.

Then I got in bed for maybe an hour, but I did not really sleep much or at all.

The end,

What is it?

The 2008 Australian psychological horror movie Lake Mungo.

What is it about?

This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this movie:

Sixteen-year-old Alice Palmer drowns while swimming in the local reservoir.

When her body is recovered and a verdict of accidental death returned, her grieving family buries her.

Then, they begin to experience a series of strange and inexplicable events centered in and around their home.

Profoundly unsettled, the Palmers seek the help of psychic and parapsychologist Ray Kemeney.

He discovers that Alice led a double life.

A series of clues leads the family to Lake Mungo where Alice’s secret past emerges.

Lake Mungo is a mystery, a thriller and a ghost story told in documentary form that illustrates how the dead can forever haunt the living.

My Thoughts

My brother GC and I watched this movie at least a week ago after watching Chris Stuckmann’s review of it that you can watch below.

Chris really liked this movie and it scared him so I had high hopes for it, but my brother GC and I did not like it as much as him and it was not that scary to us.

This movie did do a good job seeming like a real documentary and the actors and actresses did seem more like real people being interviewed, but it was done in a way that was slower and longer and less interesting and less scary than it should have been.

I do like how this movie has several twists that I did not see coming, and there is some symbolism.

But this movie just did not connect with us as much as it could have, if the pacing and the style was sped up a bit, and if the scariness was increased and if the movie was shortened then it could have reached it potential.
