Walking down a sidewalk I know I had ridden by bike down before
There was another road that connected to it that I did not recognize
I did not know how the other road was there as the one I had ridden my bike on before was next to the water
It was in a place that felt like Pasadena
I remember a store there and I then found myself in that store, looking around
Strange things were in the store, old hard back books of complete volumes that were ancient manuscripts
I pick up three volumes, lime green in color bundled together in shrink wrap
Then I saw two tins bundled together in the same way that were in the shape of Santa clause which contained what I thought was candy that sounded like small hard candy rattling around inside when shook
As I shook the tin another man whispered to the store owner that I had asked about “b?”
The owner approached me and said I had asked about “b?”
I said “what was that?”, not understanding what he said and he repeated the name which I then said, “ I don’t know what that is”
He took me to a very old cabinet and opened it up
He told me how it shows the souls of mankind which were created, some going up and some falling down
He then started feeding it gold coins which made it operate
I asked what the gold coins were and he told me
It took 10 but he only had 8
It began working as soon as the first coin was added and he feed in all eight
As the coins were feed i I looked into the machine and saw a long wooden pole
On this pole was a paper like umbrella that began to open
The underneath of the umbrella was printed with the canopy of space and writings Chinese?
As it opened an ominous feeling arose
I found myself talking to an older man who began telling me about his daughter
I was in a hall
I looked to my left and An old women sitting on a bench next to me
I looked back up and the old man’s appearance had changed, his mouth disfigured exposing large sharp teeth on the left side of his mouth
He continued to speak
“I had to leave Annie/I left Annie/I could not help Annie because”
He was a ways from me, down the hall
I was walking toward him
I tuned and the old woman was not there anymore
I looked up I was getting closer to the man
Where did the old woman go, I looked back she had disappeared
I turned back, still walking and found myself face to face with the disfigured man as he said “because she said she was lonely”
I realized I had this dream before and awoke
I placed the tea upon the alter
If I’m not to have it then take it from me
I returned to find it still there
So I had one more sip and then cast that which was upon the alter into the air
