This Is What I Think.

Today is 08/24/2026





by me, Kerry Burgess, 08/24/2026 07:16 AM

Looked at the clock. Hour of 06:00 AM

Just woke from visions of another sleeping-dream today

Begin composing a note about it that compels me, unable to fall back to sleep

Details make me wonder if I will find any sort of pattern I recognize about today in my original-work

Typing in here all the details about the sleep-visions before I begin to examine my original-work.



My location was immediately familiar to me from the beginning I remember of the sleeping-dream today, 08/24/2026

I was driving a sedan automobile.

Immediately familiar to me is that I was traveling - with a forward velocity of about 100 miles per hour (not allowed through there in the real world) - towards the east on Highway 70 and I was leaving the city of Dequeen, Arkansas.

I knew this because as I traveled towards the east, off to my right-side would have been the entrance to that trailer-park I grew up in as a child. I would have just passed by that Bailey's hardware store and I would have been approaching the entrance to the drive-in theatre that was there in my youth and is now the relocated Walmart store

It is a very dark night.

I am aware of passengers along with me in the car I am driving.

One passenger seems to be a young woman I used to see on television

Only because I intend to examine my original-work for any pattern I recognize, I note the silly notion that one other passenger in the car - that I am aware of and do not actually visualize - is Britain's Queen Elizabeth. There is no reason she was not still alive.

Suddenly and dramatically and directly ahead in my path in that very dark night and as the automobile I am driving is screaming along the highway, I see it: CLOSED

There is a sign blocking the highway this very dark night. A bridge has been removed and the sign warns drivers

Slam on the brakes and the front of the car stops just inches from the sign.

"Good thing I was paying attention" I speak out loud in the car to none in particular.

Steering to my right-side, I can visualize details that do not seem consistent with my knowledge of that particular area.

Ask the young-woman to find an alternate route and that the map is under the legs of the Queen in the seat of the car. She does not really understand and I suggest she find the index of the map book in the final pages.

Meanwhile, I see another roadway. My original travel would have been towards the east and I steer towards the nearby roadway that travels perpendicular and travels north

Begin traveling to the north and the roadway is on the slope of a hill and I gain elevation. Soon the roadway is blocked by a gate. It is some sort of gate that is constructed of many strands of barb-wire that is haphazardly stung together to form an almost solid surface. With the car, I gently knock it down and drive through. Aware of houses in view. Turn to the right-side and now slowly traveling again to the east and now below is in view that closed bridge and the highway approaching it.

Then another automobile is racing towards that CLOSED sign.

It does not stop in time. The sign appears undamaged but the car travels straight through it, over the embarkment edge and crashes down on the surface of the river the bridge spans.

With a four-point landing onto the river surface, it continues traveling forward. The water appears to be about an inch deep and the driver's travel is unimpeded.

That was the point I awoke here in my bed and immediately began composing these details in my mind, compelled to find any sort of pattern I might recognize today



Also, began thinking again about that newest episode of "Silo", which I had largely decided yesterday to abandon, also to abandon season 2 of "Dark Matter". Still could happen but I have noted before that I have wondered about some sort of "course correction" process about these decisions I make.



If you are still reading and you are reading my extended rambling about my sleeping-dreams and you have read before my blog-posts here on my blog then you must been really interested in what I discover (and what you co-discover)



Now, the detail that caused me to work on this today. Today is 08/24/2026 and I examine my original-work for the pivotal detail of 07/13/1984. The result follows and is a pattern I recognize and that is a pattern that is completely impossible for my sleeping-mind to have guessed up. Literally no person could guess at this pattern. The human brain is not capable of this sort of authentic pattern calculation.

Subject: Orlando

You sent me that photo of you and me from that day I graduated US Navy basic training in Orlando Florida in July 1984.

Do you have anyway of knowing the precise date that photo of us was taken?

I also want to know if you know the precise date we all were at the Disney park in Orlando.

My official military records tell me I left basic training on July 16th but I don't think that was the date we graduated.

My guess is we were at Disney on the 14th or the 15th. Graduation was a Friday if I remember correctly and that might have been the 13th.

Quotes

[first lines]

TV Personality: The world of medicine has seen its share of miracle cures, from the polio vaccine to heart transplants. But all past achievements may pale in comparison to the work of Dr. Alice Krippin. Thank you so much for joining us this morning.

Dr. Alice Krippin: Not at all.

TV Personality: So, Dr. Krippin, give it to me in a nutshell.

Dr. Alice Krippin: Well, the premise is quite simple - um, take something designed by nature and reprogram it to make it work for the body rather than against it.

TV Personality: You're talking about a virus?

Dr. Alice Krippin: Indeed, yes. In this case the measles, um, virus which has been engineered at a genetic level to be helpful rather than harmful. Um, I find the best way to describe it is if you can... if you can imagine your body as a highway, and you picture the virus as a very fast car, um, being driven by a very bad man. Imagine the damage that car can cause. Then if you replace that man with a cop... the picture changes. And that's essentially what we've done.

TV Personality: And how many people have you treated so far?

Dr. Alice Krippin: Well, we've had ten thousand and nine clinical trials in humans so far.

TV Personality: And how many are cancer-free?

Dr. Alice Krippin: Ten thousand and nine.

TV Personality: So you have actually cured cancer.

Dr. Alice Krippin: Yes, yes... yes, we have.

by me, Kerry Burgess: January 04, 2016

I think I wrote about this memory before here in my journal but I haven't tried in the past couple days to find a reference. I feel certain I wrote one time and perhaps more than one time about a memory I have of the summer of 2004 during that beautiful time when I first lived in Spokane Valley which was for about six months and before I moved back to the Seattle suburbs. I feel certain I wrote about how that was the only time since December 1998 I haven't lived near Seattle where I moved to from South Carolina. I am certain I wrote about how I was sitting there in that extended stay hotel room on Sprague and I saw a US Navy chief petty officer pass by outside my window, facing the map placement of Riverside Avenue, often enough I recognized his insignia. I know I must have written about how I was there when I went to see the 2004 "The Manchurian Candidate" in the nearby Spokane Valley Mall as well as the 2004 "Dawn of the Dead". I still owned my 2002 black Jeep Wrangler back then. How fondly I remember that time. I was living there when I finished the Ironman triathlon nearby in Coeur d'Alene. Seems like yesterday to my mind but not to my body.

So anyway, I was thinking again the past couple days and I was wondering if I noted this in my journal about that day I emailed The White House. I know I wrote about that in my journal in recent years. What I have been wondering about in recent days is about how specific I was in my notes. I remember this like yesterday. The part I remember clearly is that after I sent the email I was certain that a black van was going to show up and haul me away somewhere. So what did I do? I went to take a shower and I remember shaving my face. I remember that because I haven't used a razor to shave my face since the year 2005. After they secretly drugged me and after I was hospitalized so long I have never used a shaving razor on my face.

And so I was thinking the past couple days: maybe a black van did show up and haul me off somewhere.

The reason I do not recall that detail? Well, no witnesses for one. No co-conspirators for another.

Anna: The world is quieter now. We just have to listen. If we listen, we can hear God's plan.

Neville: God's plan.

Anna: Yeah.

Neville: All right, let me tell you about your "God's plan". Seven billion people on Earth when the infection hit. KV had a ninety-percent kill rate, that's five point four billion people dead. Crashed and bled out. Dead. Less than one-percent immunity. That left twelve million healthy people, like you, me, and Ethan. The other five hundred and eighty-eight million turned into your dark seekers, and then they got hungry and they killed and fed on everybody. Everybody! Every *single* person that you or I has ever known is dead! Dead!

Lockheed L-1011

In the early 1990s, Orbital Sciences began to use a converted L-1011-100 named Stargazer to launch Pegasus rockets into orbit around Earth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_rocket

The first successful Pegasus launch occurred on April 5, 1990. Initially, a NASA-owned B-52 Stratofortress served as the carrier aircraft. By 1994, Orbital had transitioned to their "Stargazer" L-1011, a converted airliner.

In June, the first launch of an advanced Pegasus XL from the L-1011 Stargazer carrier plane ended in failure; the cause has been identified as aerodynamic problems due to faulty hydro simulations (no wind tunnel testing was done).

"*Stargazer* is a specially modified Lockheed Martin L-1011 TriStar jumbo jet
that's based at Meadows Field in Bakersfield," stated Jim Spellman, executive
director for the National Space Society's Western Spaceport Chapter in Kern,
Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo county.

"It was named by OSC team members in honor of the first 'starship' commanded
by fictional character Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the *Star Trek: The Next
Generation* television series," Spellman added. The aircraft serves as the
"first stage" by carrying the Pegasus XL rocket up to its 40,000 foot release

[on whether to disclose the loss of a stealth bomber]

Giles Prentice: Wait. We're making a mistake.

Secretary Baird: Giles? You, uh, have some input you wish to share with us?

Giles Prentice: Yes, sir. Aviation Week has been following the development of the B3 for years. They have "stringers" - guys camping out in lawn chairs all night out by the Whiteman perimeter fence - watching just in case one of these things take off. Now, they're gonna know that one took off last night, and they're gonna know that it didn't come back. Now, we put out a press-release saying a C141 went down in Utah, they're gonna put two and two together. Aviation Week is gonna run a story, everyone's gonna know what really happened, and we're all gonna look extremely stupid. We're better off just telling the truth.

Secretary Baird: The truth? How'd you get this job?
