Mario Dreams
============

as for myself, as a child from age 6-10 i'd occasionally have dreams of myself being n64 mario, but maybe with some modifications. like it's the game, but real and no tv screen or controllers, it's a place and mario is what i look like.

one had me as mario, with a hat with yellow bunny ears. i'd stretch my arms like an airplane and keep my feet together, and just sail through the air silently, exploring deep, dark, glittering caverns of giant crystals and weird formations.

had an eerie, alone, but fascinating feeling and atmosphere that i really miss.

sometimes i'd just meet n64 mario like he's just some guy. one time he was standin around doin nothing and not being interested. there was some other dream person there who was talking to me.

now in THAT dream i somehow entered a big, empty old dark wooden room by going down a bathtub drain.

another one had me controlling or "being" mario, and there was an ENORMOUS huge world that looked like it had some 2d "lego" ish texture on big simple polygons.

it was some weird colossal backyard kind of layout. some of these dreams, i could "fly" (airplane-esque) or had to jump and avoid falling into lava or something.

in the giant titan backyard, there was a pond. like a rock pool... it was deep. it had... a TOILET in it. i went down the toilet and explored some labyrinth level with fish monster things.

there was some giant lava/fire themed world that heavily featured trains. train tracks suspended on giant black iron beams, miles above lava. it looked cool, but i didn't enjoy being there.

some other dream, there were paintings for sale displayed on easels. they were average sized. there were realistic people standing around in some art gallery place.

guess who was also there! besides me. n64 mario. super hyper and jumpin into paintings and jumpin back out and jumpin into other paintings.

wish i could do that.
