Here is how Goodreads describe this audiobook:

A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow.

“Please,” asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep.”.

And the pilot realizes that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries.

He pulls out pencil and paper…

And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers.

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (Short Story)

What Is It?

The video above is an audiobook version of the 1967 post-apocalyptic science fiction horror short story I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison:

I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream – Harlan Ellison (audiobook)
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream – The End of the Apocalypse – Extra Sci Fi

This is how Wikipedia describes this short story:

In a dystopian future, the Cold War has degenerated into a brutal world war between the United States, the Soviet Union, and China, who have each built an “Allied Mastercomputer” (or AM) to manage their weapons and troops.

One of the AMs eventually acquires self-awareness and, after assimilating the other two AMs, takes control of the conflict, giving way to a vast genocide operation that almost completely ends mankind.

109 years later, AM has left only four men and one woman alive and keeps them in captivity within an endless underground housing complex, the only habitable place left on Earth.

AM derives its sole semblance of pleasure from torturing the group.

To disallow the humans from escaping its torment, AM has rendered the humans virtually immortal and unable to commit suicide.

The machines are each referred to as “AM”, which originally stood for “Allied Mastercomputer”, but was changed to “Adaptive Manipulator” and later (after gaining sentience) “Aggressive Menace”.

It finally refers to itself as purely “AM”, referring to the phrase “I think, therefore I am.”

Christian Audio | A Portable House

Dream 1

This dream involved me hearing some Christian audio, I am not sure if it was a video and / or audiobook, and I told my mom about it.

I did not know the name, I know that it was about Christianity, and so I tried to find anything like it as I tried to find the name / where it was from; but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dreams & Visions: The Lost Language Of God

What is it?

The 2010 audiobook Dreams & Visions: The Lost Language Of God on Compact Disc (CD) by Dr. Mark Chironna.

What is it about?

Here is the description of this audiobook from the back cover itself:

God is still speaking to us in our dreams and visions, but it is important to understand the correct way to interpret them.

Your dreams and visions unfold a story line that needs to be viewed in the same way and with the same wonder as you would view a production on stage, or on the silver screen, or a mystery novel, or a work of art.

Dream interpretation involves both art and skill and requires an appreciation, respect, and honoring of the dreams in the same way that you approach artistic and inspirational expressions.

In this series, Dr. Chironna takes you through the in-depth process of understanding and interpreting the language of God in your dreams and the visions you may see in your prayer time.
