Geoffretti climbs thru a swamp filled with monitor lizards (aka Komodo dragons), interfaces with an 'enhanced' girl, and swats a nasty little drone that morphs into a bird causing him to draw the vengeance of an angry mob. That should be enough for one night of dreaming!

We'll try to find out.

Geoffretti is “roped” into a mischievous gang of “no-good-doers”, becomes the subject of a suggestive advance in an elevator by a girl in a houndstooth miniskirt, and returns to a hotel room loaded with a curious array of inadvisable guests that ends in a bloodbath. Together, Geoffretti and Rusty try to peel a few layers off of this puzzling onion of a dream in an attempt to gauge the message of the unconscious. Though not crude, this episode necessarily contains adult content and should be considered NSFW.

The contrast between the two videos motivates the conversation between the Light and Shadow duo. See Dana Coverstone’s video here. See Lance Wallnau’s post regarding Dana Coverstone’s video here. Tags:angels, assemblies of god, conspiracy, covid-19, dana coverstone, dana coverstone youtube, demonic spirit, dream analysis, dream interpretation, gargoyle, gargoyles, lance walnau, prophetic dream, prophetic dream analysis, prophetic dream interpretation, viral, vultures, wingnuttery, wuhan flu, youtube
