That's actually what I want to hear, believe it or not. I wanted the written lyrics in the art to be just as indecipherable as those in the song, and I was actually worried the ones on the bottom right and center were too legible. This is good news for me. But it still pisses me off how much discrepancy there is between individual monitors. Ugh.
Thanks for the feedback!

The big one is actually an interpretation of lots of other dreams, while the smaller one was what was called the "God extraterrestrial" in a dream I had a couple years ago—the last dream I had featuring any relatively clear imagery of these things, come to think of it. I doubt either has a gender and they're more like interacting with super-intelligent robotic electric eels than anything, but for some reason it was the dream with the smaller of the two that assigned any gender, which was female. Not that it seemed female, but a prominent character kept referring to it as 'her' and 'she';
The goofy extravert suddenly ran down the stairs from the cluttered upper room to the equally cluttered dining room we had gathered in. He was wan and scared, but tried his best to act nonchalant. Out of breath, he said, "I saw one!"
Roommate #1: (Hesitantly.) "Saw what?"
Roommate #2: "One of those things! She's sitting on the cabinet in [such and such] room."
Roommate #1: "What? What does it look like?"
Roommate #2: "I can't explain--" [increasingly panicked as realization settles in] "…nothing I've ever seen. She had little eyes or something, I couldn't tell! I can't compare to anything."
The dream was vivid enough that most of that is nearly verbatim, which I totally dig.
I'm not totally sure where the jumping spider thing comes from, but it could have more significance than I realize. As for the little one, it reminded me more of a artificial jellyfish than anything else in the dream — translucent white, with faint mauve and blue colours showing from inside.

I've been thinking about cleaning up all the dreams I've recorded since 2004 and releasing them in a zip file or something for those who want to peruse them. At any rate, I have to clean them up and get them more organized than they are currently, so once I'm done with that I can certainly send them to you.
So, as you can see, it's not that I mind sharing (except that I fear boring people into oblivion with personal blather), it's that, well, six years of dreams is quite a lot to deal with. :D
Here's an interesting excerpt from the dream with the "God extraterrestrial":
"Our car came to a fairly abrupt slowdown on the winding freeway. There was a traffic jam from the unauthorized evacuation in which everyone seemed to be partaking. Everything was damp and blue from the rain and dusky lighting. I looked out the raindrop and rainstreaked windows at the chaos outside. There were flashing lights, cops and authorities everywhere trying to coordinate everything. There was a bearded motorcyclist in front of us.
We came to a complete stop.
"What if I'm insane?" one of the guy roommates asked. I think it was the one who'd had the idea of an invading, living force to begin with. "What if I'm schizophrenic and imagining all of this is happening? What if it doesn't really exist? This is absolutely crazy shit!" Oddly, he was perfectly reflecting my own thoughts, as if he was a manifestation of my own worries. One of the other roommates pulled out his little laptop, opened it and a browser, and typed in a webpage dealing with debunking phenomena and, farcically, advocating belief in God and Jesus Christ as our saviour. I saw him type in the page at the top, www.atheist[something something something].org…
But when the page loaded, it wasn't the page he was expecting to get. It was merely an image—a diagram. A cross section. It was one of the "invaders". It was as if we'd all been implanted with some sort of unrealized, latent knowledge of what they were and what they looked like, and we all reacted with powerful recognition to the image. Screaming and panic ensued for everyone but me. I looked out the window at the guardrails and saw the things were everywhere, under various guises or invisible otherwise. It was hard to make out detail through the fogged, spattered, streaked window, so I looked back at the diagram, trying to quickly map and remember all of the labeled parts, such as 'ovireceptor' and 'sensory [something] coils', A lot had been left out. It was overwhelming to look at all the detail and try to remember. I tried my best to commit it to memory…
…and then I woke up."
lol epic. Also see the above comments for another excerpt.

It's probably way to late to ask, but did you ever posted the file? I'd be quite interested in it since I just love reading about dreams. A friend recommended to start a dream journal a few years back, so I started one and that just reinforced my interest in reading about dreams of other people.
Creepy. Just about three weeks ago, I randomly thought of starting a blog with a daily dream entry starting from 2004. Just tonight I had an idea that may be even better. I'm not sure how much interest in would garner, but if I ever do give it a shot, I can let you know.
Do you share your dreams anywhere?

I'd certainly be interested. If you pull it off, please let me know. :)
I previously shared the journal with two friends. I thought about adding it to a website that collects dream journals but haven't settled on a specific one yet. Also I would have to translate the entries into english, since I wrote them in my native tongue, german. I wouldn't mind sharing the less personal ones, but didn't translate them as of yet because I wasn't sure if anyone outside those two friends would enjoy reading them.

Yeah, but I was surprisingly really close, which is a good thing. I couldn't make out the chorus at all, I'm glad I know what it is or it'd have driven me mad.
Apparently the vocals on Aguilla are Sean Booth and Rob Brown or...something? Do you know anything about that? I lol'd. I was sure it was just a sample, but it doesn't seem like he's into using samples like other artists.

If suchly sea-cucumber related -if you repeatedly poke, or otherwise irritate them too many times, they'll self-discharge most of their digestive innards out their tail end along with a fine mist of holothurin which is an especially potent saponin-based toxin. (would cause cellular walls to emulsify, presumably in this case taking out the pulmonary aveoli in the lungs and leading to quick asphyxiation). I love me some echinoderms.
DDDXXX 'cause I got super busy! I will send you one T_T I just need the time to think about everything I want to say as well as find some peace and quiet. OMG what great convos we shall have...
you might not hear from me via note for the next couple days. I have orientation all day tomorrow and people pulling me in different direction.

Trust me, I know what it's like. I was just afraid you might have sent one and FA botched it. If you don't get to it you can just add me on AIM or Yahoo, whatever you may use as an IM; I know I personally hate having to keep things like notes and emails in mind so that might just be easier.
In any case, here's wishing some good luck for the orientation.

Ohh wow oh wow, this is so cool..! Such an original creature, it's almost frightening, but different enough to where I can't look away from it.
The description you gave for it makes it seem like meeting one of these things would be an interesting experience. These creatures of a higher subconscious...
...I love it.
