Mitch Horowitz is Jimmy Crystal (night of 01/04/2026)

 An older man who lives in a boat on Diglis Basin. His boat has come free from its mooring and is floating free. He is trapped on the boat. Someone has lent him there's - or has come to rescue him on it. Something to do with a crow or raven. The rescue boat is a garden shed that putters about in the water. The older man's  boat is a blur Mini car that sits half submerged in the water.

Connected - author Mitch Horowitz is revealed to also be Jimmy Crystal - a character from the 28 Years Later film The Bone Temple. Jimmy Crystal is setting up some kind of church. This has all been an experiment by Mitch Horowitz on an audience. It shows something important. I cannot believe that Jimmy Crystal has been Mitch Horowitz all along!  I really thought it was him!

Some kind of lecture setting. I will admit to Mitch that I did not realize he was Jimmy Crystal, and was completely taken in by this.

The Confusing Summer of 1996 (night of 01/04/2026)

 Thinking of an old summer - the summer of 1996 - when did that summer start to get enjoyable?Was it when me and Mina had started talking by phone? One day she had called me and the summer improved after that.  The dream-summer of 1996 is not quite the same as the waking-life summer of 1996. 

Thinking of walking back from Evesham to Bretforton. Images of sunlight, of walking through a village. A memory of walking back with Emily in the dream-summer. Hold on - that must have been another time, I did not know Emily then. Time-lines merge and get confused. 

The path into that mystical dream-place I think of as The Thin Trees. Did I go there before the summer went well?. An image of a path sloping away from the main road. Thinking 'I haven't walked here since then'.

A puzzling incident involving pods for my vape. I have a box of pods - where did this come from? I have lots of different flavours! Putting the pods back into a cardboard box they came in.

A room with two Victorian men in it. One is telling the other that he only has to think of something and it comes true. His face is covered in growths because he thought of a word like 'contusions' - this is why the other man has so many vape pods.

Jumping The Water (night of 31/03/2026)

 I am with Dan from work. It is night. Trees in the darkness. I lead him to leap across a stretch of water. I then realize that this piece of land we're o. is bordered by a small canal. The canal is a narrow strip of grey water. We cannot leap over this. We will have to go back. Are we trapped though? Will we able to jump back across the water we have already jumped over?
