Ben Goedde aka Bengar

Ben Goedde is a collage and sound artist currently working out of Segovia, Spain.

My dream began in the top story of this tall building, it's night, and inside there's this black batgirl, she's new I guess and is totally owning badguys with her machine guns and pistols and she is doing all of these insane acrobatic feats and just jumping around and firing and hitting everything on target and it's crazy. She eventually kills the last dude and then the dream shifts to me and this girl and it's in the morning-afternoon and we are looking around this abandoned building and it's mostly huge windows and we can basically see the whole city and then we are like 'we have to find a computer and check our email' and there is a lone computer and I pull up my email and there is an email with all of this information on Birdramon, the phoenix-like Digimon who shoots fire and has the duck bill with a ton of jagged teeth at the end of it, and so the premise of the dream is that there is this mad scientist and he sends these monsters to hunt down and attempt to kill the girl that I'm with, though there is no explanation of why, all I know is that this information becomes apparent almost immediately to me. We are freaking out because this demented version of Birdramon is huge from what we see in the email and then we look out on the street and there's Godzilla and he/birdramon are battling and he grabs her tail and slams her into the ground and they are just fighting and Godzilla is getting beat and then we go back to the email and try to figure out something to kill her with, then we look back (and at this time, a third person joins our party, some asian dude) and Godzilla is sitting in a vat of molten lava and is tied down so that only his head is above the lava and birdramon is off in the distance doing something dumb and then we decide that we need to go save Godzilla because he's our only hope, so somehow there is this HUGE sheet that stretches from our building all the way to where Godzilla is, which is like half a mile in a diagonal direction, because he's on this smaller building and we are in the huge skyscraper, so we all slide down the sheet and get to this other building and start to undo the huge ropes that are tying Godzilla down and then we see Birdramon and it's on top of the building we were just in and she's ripping out the air conditioning units and then flying to other skyscrapers and destroying their AC's too and that gives me the idea of using AC stuff to kill Birdramon, so then we get Godzilla to come with us to this retirement home, which happens to be located in the middle of this huge city and I run to the very top floor and ask the lady in there if she knew where the AC was and she says it's in the first floor closet, so then I go down to inspect and figure out that Godzilla needs to break down the wall on the other side, so I tell everyone in the building to turn their AC off and they are all grouching at me and I run outside and start yelling 'GODZILLA' and then he comes stumbling around some building and he's all bloody and limping and I tell him to break down the wall carefully and so he starts to do that and then Birdramon shows up and I distract her while he's breaking down the wall and then eventually he gets the AC stuff that he needs, which is like this giant spray bottle thing and then he goes to find Birdramon and somehow she's already knocked out and I am still alive and then he opens her beak/bill and pumps all of the fluids into her stomach and that's the end!

Doctopmaru aka Garrett Young

Doctopmaru aka Garret Young is a 23 year old artist working out of Oklahoma City. His drawings are quiet and self contemplative but my favorite part about his work is how the faces are there in great detail, but you can never quite make out any details at all. Like all the faces will eventually fade off the page if stared at for too long.

"in the dream i was with a group of friends that differed in number periodically. at the beginning of the dream it was just me and one other person. we were going to a cabin in the woods in asheville, NC that belonged to our friend's parents. i was driving my old truck and having difficulty with all the intense hills and mountains. at one point i was at a stoplight on an extreme incline, and i was worried the car was going to tumble over if i didn't move soon. we had bicycles in the back of the truck so we switched to those at some point, but my tire went flat after a few minutes. eventually we got to the cabin. at that point it was myself and two couples. my dad showed up there. he kept saying he was going to leave but was taking forever. my friends left before my dad, but eventually they came back, and then he left. i think there were about 5 of us then. we went out on foot and ended up in a cityscape. there was a lot of traffic. for some reason the cops were after us. we marched on, ignoring them. they had trouble getting to us because of all the traffic. we were all wearing costumes. i was wearing a white bear costume with a jackolantern face. there was some argument in our group as to whether or not we should stop for the cops. i was one of the people who wanted to ignore them. when they finally stopped us successfully, nothing happened.
after some time of more walking, we ended up in an amusement park. i went into this one area that was surrounded by chain link fences. my friend BC was there with someone else, and she said to me, "beware of suffocation." as she said this i read the same phrase on a sign outside of the attraction. at this point there were, i think, 3 couples, one single person, and myself. someone was telling me--or maybe i was reading--the idea behind the fenced-off area i was now standing in. it was full of flowers that gave off poisonous gasses. the point of it in the amusement park was "the danger." it had a fake boat-type seating area where one of the couples and the other single person, who was probably like 12 or 13, were sitting. one of the couples went into these long plastic tubes that ended in extremely long slides. i wanted to go into the tubes/down the slides, but i thought i would be interrupting them making out or something. the name of the poisonous flowers was "daimelotra." there was confusion about whether the flowers were called daimelotra or damiana.

And now for her dream-

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2010

i was walking through campus and it was really beautiful. the leaves were all changing colors and laying in a deep carpet on the ground. i came along a path to a pond with a fountain where a humpback whale was swimming. i leaned over the edge of the pond and it stuck its head out onto the grass and let me pet him. i jumped into the water and put my arms around its neck and we swam together. it was beautiful and i thought maybe i could communicate with him. i made a high pitched sound and he shrieked too and stopped moving and went silent. i panicked, i pushed him up to the surface so he could breathe but he shriveled up and i held him in the palm of my hand and he crumbled away.

"i was sleeping. but in my dream i could have sworn that i was awake. this was a feeling of a really vivid dream, it was almost like i was actually experiencing it. but there was no way that it could have possibly been experienced because it could have only been imagined in my own brain. i mean, i can come up with some pretty crazy shit on the spot while i'm awake, but once i'm asleep, it's up to my subconscious to make those decisions for me. in the meantime, while i'm trying to get myself to fall asleep, which can be rather difficult for me most of the time, i can see these intense visuals in the back of my eyeballs. they're distant from me at first, but come closer and they have all this sort of depth, filled with colors and patterns that would mind-fuck a normal person. but i'm already pretty mind-fucked, so they seem wonderful to me. once i'm drifting into my first stage of sleep, my body goes numb and i forget that i'm even there. then the next thing i remember i'm stuck in this land of swampy, fucked up looking, creatures. they are all moving around me in super slow motion. they moan out words that i can't even understand and appear to be gathering towards me. i'm immersed in a wave of drippy, gooey dudes who i can't shake off. for how slow they move, they sure do get a hold of me quickly. now i'm in this weird mansion, sort of like Luigi's Mansion...except instead of ghosts there are these goomped out weirdos who are waiting for me to move so that they can just engulf me in their dripping bodies. but i stand perfectly still, not moving a muscle. they're talking to me. i still can't understand them. i think they might be rejects of my imagination, or something like that. i've drawn these types of creatures before, but they never had this attitude in my drawings. my creations were ecstatic, happy to exist, and very beautiful creatures. but the ones in my dream had a different feel to them. i knew they were angry with me, but i had no idea why. they fucked me up. i was caught in a wave of alien-like monsters, their bodies were all so fluid, they moved together as one huge mound. i could feel their cold, wet, drippy skin flowing all around me. they really fucked me up.
