106 The underground base. Until this dream in 2000 I had no concept of the idea of “surface world” versus “underground world.” I was smack in the middle of living out my adventures in “The Vortex” paranormal apartment when this dream happened, and it stayed with me for months afterwards. The dream centers around the idea of my brother Joe having “accidentally” discovered, through his many adventures of poking around/trespassing, the entrance to an underground base facility located underneath a local mall...and then coming back to show me and bring me along. In real life Joe was nocturnal and spent every night out exploring whatever city we lived in, poking around where he shouldn’t be going, breaking into places, trespassing, etc. and making some interesting discoveries. So this dream played out exactly as it would have in real life had this really happened. It was so real and so much fun that I could not shake this dream off for months afterwards, and wanted very badly to experience this again, and be in this world that I’d been witness to. I’d listen to Death in Vegas while imagining myself back in this place. “68 Balcony” “I Spy” and “Flying” if you'd like the personal soundtrack for this. © I'll try to summarize it as concisely as possibly, omitting the non-relevant details, but taking many parts directly from a write up I did right after this happened.

The engine didn’t get flooded or stall, because it wasn’t a normal minivan. It was made to be able to go into government facility. There were a couple of quick cut close up scenes of me next to the lake edge, looking down into the water at another submerging vehicle, going down into this secret entrance. Next scene cuts to a mall that’s in the vicinity of this lake, but it’s a mall that’s been built the equivalent of two stories underground. It’s a novelty thing to everybody in suburbia who goes there, but who don’t realize that it was built as a facade, right on top of the underground facility. So I’m in the mall now next to an escalator, staring up at a skylight in the ceiling above the escalators (same as the Laguna Hills Chasing Phantoms i the water in order to access the secret entrance to an underground
