Jim’s Daily Rant. Most Bizarre Dream About Home Energy.

I grew up in an Anti-Bellum house in Florida. It was built around 1880, after the civil War.

It was a traditional Southern home, raised two feet off the ground for air flow. That kept the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

It had some double-hung windows that could be lowered at the top and raised at the bottom, allowing for air flow like a chimney expelling the heat in the summer. This sucked in cool air and expelled the hot.

There were nine of us kids and I was trained as a child to be the designated thief. My mother kept many boxes of Kool-Aid in the cabinet. It was just colored sugar. I would swipe one and meet siblings under the house in a 3’ diameter hole, 1’ deep, under the front door of the house. We would devour it with wet fingers; what a treat! That hole was our large dog’s winter guard position.

I knew the underside of that house very well, it was my playground. I pretended it was the Roman Catacombs. It was my fortress from a butt beatings. No self respecting big person would peruse me.

Northern houses heat with fuel oil. We heated with natural gas. The galvanized pipes hung on wire straps from the floor rafters, about 1 ½’ off the ground. They criss- crossed to every room to small floor heaters. Then there were galvanized water pipes flowing in and out, all across the back part of the wooden home.

I bunked with my brother in a small room holding just a bunk bed and desk with just room to walk along the bed. It was next to the only bathroom. When I was around 15 I heard the dog run under the house and hit a pipe with his head as he attacked a peeping Tom when my older sister was bathing. The dog got him and pulled him off the hog wire fence. The dog never barked as I remember it.

I was frozen with fear of the unknown sounds. I was finally able to move and ran out with a 22 pistol and held it on him until help arrived. I was terrified the entire time and way in over my head. I was just a scared punk.

The dream I had lasted about two hours, over and over. I saw about six adults wearing mechanic coveralls crawling under that house. I had no idea what they were doing. I saw them trying to cross the gas pipes or hanging electrical and telephone lines as they encountered them in the semi darkness. They were each crawling alone.

The past six months or so I have had so many dreams like this that confuse me making me unsure if I have translated them properly. Usually in cases like that I get confirmation in unusual ways but in these six months I can, at random, look at a clock when I think I have “seen” something and the time will be a “Straight” Poker hand, in order or out of order.

When I woke up this morning and was getting out of bed, It hit me what the dream was about. As my eyes adjusted, I saw it was 5:43. Just call me crazy, but this is common.

Those big people were first learning how energy really flows into one’s home, where it comes from. It’s like the world is just seeing this for the first time! They were also seeing how that energy controls our lives. The world is seeing all of this for the first time now!
