Recurring Dreams (MF, MM)
By Anonymous NIXPIX Author - 1989

*

I am having strange, recurring dreams. It isn't the same dream 
every night, but it is the same shameful theme again and again. In 
the dream, I go back into the past and I visit my younger self. 
Then I seduce and have sex with myself. The dream always ends 
shortly after I come, but although I always come in the dream, I 
don't have a wet dream in real life. In fact, despite the 
expectations raised by sex education films and lectures, which led 
me to believe that wet dreams would be a frequent, perplexing, and 
often embarrassing part of puberty, I still have not had one.

My most recent of these dreams was perhaps the most disturbing of 
those I have experienced so far, because the younger me whom I 
visited was so much younger. I'm not good with ages, and I didn't 
ask how old I was, but I estimate after the fact that I was 
probably ten or eleven at most.

The dreams start very normally -- for dreams, that is. I am doing 
some unusual dream event, engaged in one surreal plotline or 
another, and I turn the corner and come face to face with my 
younger self. And then the plot of the dream changes entirely over 
to this new plot of greetings, verification, reminiscence, and 
then, ultimately, seduction of the most incestuous type imaginable.

This time I had been having a dream based on a computer war game I 
had played earlier in the evening. I was in a stone castle, 
conferring with my generals (I think we were trying to decide what 
kind of pizza to order), when I excused myself from the table to go 
to the restroom. When I rounded the corner, I entered a courtyard, 
which transformed into the playground of my old elementary school. 
I walked through the playground and up one of the empty short-
ceilinged corridors of classrooms, when one of the doors opened, 
and I walked out, or rather a child version of myself walked out.

He sized me up, and I said, "Hi, Billy."

He stopped. "Hello," he said in two very distinct syllables. His 
hair was strikingly blond, but his face was the one from old 
pictures and mirrored memories. He was wearing Nike "Wally Waffle" 
shoes, purplish toughskin jeans, and a greenish polyester shirt 
composed of a collage of pictures of motorcycles. The 
embarrassment, which I should have felt at the time over this 
choice of outfit, I felt instead now as an adult, coming uninvited 
from his future to judge.

He very obviously didn't recognize me at all. Still, I asked, "Do 
you recognize me?"

He looked at me even closer, as if I were a distant relative he 
might be asked to hug, and started to sway from side to side in his 
Wally Waffles. "No." (two syllables again -- "No-oh")

So I told him, "I'm you as a grown-up, I've come from the future to 
talk to you."

"No way." he said, but remarkably, he seemed willing to entertain 
the possibility that it was true. "What's my name?" he asked, to 
test me.

"Billy Lowgren," I said. I call myself Bill now.

"What's my middle name?"

"Hugh."

"How do you spell it?"

At first I was puzzled by this question. Then I remembered that 
when I was very young, I thought that my middle name was spelled 
"Hue" (having seen that word on a color chart at school or in a 
book). When I was corrected, I for a long time had the mistaken 
impression that the real spelling of my middle name was a rare and 
strange variant of how most people spell the name Hugh. "H-U-G-H," 
I said.

This impressed him. He had never seen me before, and yet I could 
spell Hugh correctly. This gave an air of authenticity to my 
strange story. He then quizzed me about my parents' names, and 
their birth dates (I think he was bluffing there. 

I don't think I knew their birthdays by heart until I was halfway 
through college). Then he told me that if I was him from the 
future, I should know everything about him, and if so I should be 
able to tell him what he had in his backpack. I did some bluffing 
of my own and said that he had some homework and books, but that 
was clearly not specific enough for him.

"What book?" he asked.

"Alan and Naomi," I guessed.

"Wrong," he said, with two syllables, but by this time he really 
wanted to believe me.

"I don't remember very well," I confessed, and then tried to change 
the subject. 

It was time to start the seduction part -- a part of the dream I 
don't enter through an act of will so much as through the will of 
the mysterious dream playwright whose directions I am taking. The 
interpretation of the role, and even the dialog, is under my 
control; but the general outlines of the plot are tragically 
unalterable. "When do you get out of school?" I asked.

"I am out. I had to stay after school today. Mrs. Habbat said I was 
talking."

I sympathized. "Why don't you take me down to where you and Colin 
sometimes go." Colin was a boy I played I'll-show-you-mine-if-you-
show-me-yours with for a while in elementary school. I wasn't sure 
if it was before or after I was the age of little Billy, so this 
was a risky question.

He looked at me more seriously this time, cocking his head to one 
side, and balancing all of his weight on one Wally Waffle. A part 
of me that was detached from the dream was hoping he'd have the 
good sense to say no, but I knew that he wouldn't. Finally, he 
stuffed his hands in his pockets and said "okay. Let me get my 
bicycle" ("Bike," the word that would have been more natural, was 
taboo because there was a playground joke which depended for its 
punch-line on the fact that "Bike" was the name of a brand of 
underwear. Saying that you were going to "ride my bike" was always 
worth a couple of good digs in your direction).

We walked toward the bike racks, me keeping my distance from young 
Billy, who was swinging his backpack around recklessly. He unlocked 
his bicycle and slung the chain around his shoulder, then we 
started back the way we came, he riding circles around me as I 
walked back through the playground to where I half-remembered was 
mine and Colin's secret hideout.

Because I still live in the town I grew up in, my cartographic 
memories of it become supplanted each day by new ones. In my dream, 
then, I was surprised to find many familiar parts of the town, even 
among those few visible from the school, that were different or 
missing entirely. The barely-remembered hideout to which we were 
headed was in a collection of large mounds of dirt and fields of 
wild bamboo that today is a very flat softball field.

"Are you a scientist," Billy asked me, now apparently convinced of 
my identity.

"I'm a computer scientist," I said, hoping this was good enough. My 
elementary school vision of scientist (a role I hoped one day to 
occupy) was very much of the white lab-coat and test-tube variety.

His eyes lit up -- this apparently was fine with him. He continued 
to whirl around me on the bicycle. "Are you married?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I haven't met anyone I want to marry yet."

"Oh."

When we got to the mounds and bamboo, Billy got off of the bicycle 
and started to push it by the handlebars among the maze-like hills 
of dirt. I followed him in. "Do you like school?" I asked.

"Yeah, sort of."

"What's your favorite subject?"

"Science." Of course.

"What did you do in science today?"

"We drew the solar system."

"That sounds interesting."

"But the Sun was too big, so we left it out. I made the side of the 
paper all yellow."

We arrived at the hiding-place. It was a hollow where some of the 
bamboo had been cut away to make an uncomfortable seat. We played a 
truth-or-dare kind of game where the winner sat in the "throne" and 
the loser had to do what the winner said. By convention, the winner 
couldn't ask for anything too outrageous, because the loser would 
eventually have his turn to make demands.

"Could you teach me how to play the game you and Colin play? I 
forget how to play it."

"You put your fist out like this," he said and demonstrated.

I interrupted, suddenly remembering it all. "Rock scissors paper," 
I said.

"Right! And then the winner gets to tell the loser what to do. But 
you can't do anything to make us get caught, or else... you lose 
really bad."

I remember the or else part as it originally went: "or else you 
have to hump Heidi Horton." But that was something we wouldn't say 
around grown-ups, of course, and young Billy didn't want to say it 
to me.

I put my fist out, and so did he. Three times our fists rose and 
fell. I was paper, he was scissors. He went over to sit in the 
throne. "You have to pull down your pants and turn around three 
times."

I unbuttoned and unzipped my pants, and then exhaled and pulled my 
pants and
my underwear down to my knees. I stood there briefly, and then 
clumsily
rotated in place three times. I felt as silly as I have ever felt 
in my life. I pulled my pants back up.

Seemingly unmoved by the spectacle (although I saw his eyes on my 
penis each time I faced him and wondered what he thought of its 
size and bushiness), he offered his fist again, eager to move on. 
This time, I won (paper against rock) and, out of courtesy, gave 
him the same punishment.

He eagerly dropped his pants and started to turn, holding his shirt 
up over his white belly, which was swollen out over his tiny, bald 
scrotum and erect penis. I was very ashamed, but I hadn't totally 
forgotten the excitement this game caused in me when I was younger. 

I tried to remember some of the punishments we designed, so that I 
wouldn't accidentally come up with something completely out of left 
field. I remembered that once we commanded each other to tie a 
blade of grass around our penises right about at the circumcision 
scar. By the time we got home, our tender skin was swollen red and 
itching from allergy. An embarrassing and uncomfortable experience 
-- we vowed the next day to be more careful from then on.

I won the next round (paper against rock again), and commanded him 
to pull down his pants, get on his bicycle and ride back and forth 
over an approximately eight-foot stretch of ground in front of me. 
He complied, although this entailed pulling his pants completely 
off of one leg (which he did without removing his Wally Waffle), 
something that was normally not done in the course of the game (it 
involved the danger of not being able to pull one's pants up 
quickly enough in case someone discovered us -- the added danger 
also meant added excitement, but was rarely indulged in 
nonetheless.)

By now, in spite of my best intentions, I was becoming erect and 
excited. I won the next round (rock against scissors) and made him 
pull down his pants, turn around, touch his toes and count to 
fifty. He clearly enjoyed this (although he counted so fast it was 
hard to distinguish one number from the next), but it looked like 
he hadn't wiped in a month, so any added pleasure I had expected 
from his fulfilling my command was not forthcoming.

I finally lost (scissors against rock), and he wanted to subject me 
to the bicycle. I did so, feeling and enjoying (to my surprise) the 
danger factor of having one leg fully bare. My erection was by this 
time at its peak, and the pressure on my perineum from his banana 
seat was exquisite (even knowing what I remembered about my boyhood 
wiping habits). When I pulled my pants up I made sure I was close 
to him, and I did it slowly so he could watch for a long time.

He won again (paper against scissors) and wanted me to take off my 
shirt and twist it up lengthwise and then wrap it around my 
erection (my "wiener," he said). I did this, but I could tell that 
it didn't have the effect that he hoped it would. He shifted back 
and forth in his toughskins, holding on to a bamboo pole and 
waiting eagerly for me to unwrap myself so we could play another 
round.

I thought for a moment, deciding finally on rock. After two ties, 
he switched to scissors and I took a chance, sitting down on the 
ground below the throne and ordering him to take off his pants and 
put his "wiener" in my mouth. This was a true break from 
convention, as usually the commands were about display and self-
manipulation. Colin and I almost never touched each other.

But Billy was a sport about it, dropping his pants, and standing 
between my outstretched legs. I moved forward, to sit gently on his 
toes, casting an uncomfortable glance toward the stain on his white 
underpants. Then, quickly, I put my hands on his bottom and put my 
mouth around his penis and scrotum. I couldn't see his face, so I 
don't know how he reacted. I genuinely enjoyed myself, gently 
caressing the incredibly smooth hemispheres of his bottom, and 
pulling back slightly to suck slowly on his small salty warm penis.

It was really an unexpected treat, and I lingered far longer than 
game tradition called for. I was worried at one point that the 
wetness of my mouth might trigger urination in my boy self (A worry 
I felt as a youngster as I slowly absorbed the facts of life was 
that I might urinate when ejaculation was called for. I knew there 
was a difference, but I could not even guess at what the mode of 
conscious differentiation might be. 

I knew that I wasn't presently capable of summoning up fluid from 
different organs at will, and I was very worried that when the time 
came I might mistakenly produce the wrong type. It was not until my 
sixth-grade sex education classes that that worry -- and another 
one about whether the vulva was fore or aft of the anus -- was 
finally resolved), but this fear was unfounded.

This oral experience may not have been the sexual crescendo for 
Billy that it could have been were he a little older, but it 
certainly expanded his visions of what his sex game could be like. 
As I broke away from his body, he hesitated to pull up his pants, 
and I guessed that rock scissors paper, once a vital ritual, would 
no longer be necessary. "Do you want to see what I taste like?" I 
asked.

"No fair," he said (ignoring that I hadn't gone through the 
formality of winning a round before I asked), "you're bigger." His 
pants were still around his ankles. I pulled myself up and dropped 
my pants down, pulling them off one leg to demonstrate my 
willingness to become vulnerable. "You don't have to put all of it 
in," I told him.

He moved his face slowly toward my erection, then pulled back, 
puzzled at how to get his mouth around it. He reached out his hand 
slowly and small, tentative fingers reached around the back of my 
penis and pulled it forward. When he put his lips to the tip, I 
reached out and grabbed the bamboo. He was heavy on the teeth, and 
he didn't go down very far at all, but it was heavenly.

"That was very nice," I told him when he pulled his face away. "Let 
me show you something." I started to masturbate, fast, furiously, 
probably scaring him half to death. He stared, open-eyed and slack-
jawed, probably barely breathing. When I came, he was astonished to 
see me ejaculate, and backed up so quickly that he tripped over his 
pants and dropped right on his bare behind. That was the last thing 
I saw before I woke up, ashamed, and wishing, as I always do after 
these dreams, that I had asked all the questions I should have 
asked, and not done the shameful sexual things.

My first dream was a guilty pleasure, yes, but was nothing as 
terrifying or abhorrent as my most recent. The young me was around 
eighteen -- very young still, but a far cry from outright 
pedophilia.

He was sitting in front of his computer in my old dorm room at 
college; before I disturbed him (I was behind him, and had 
apparently come into the room silently), I looked around, indulging 
in the kind of innocent reminiscence you can probably imagine. Rock 
and roll posters on the walls, textbooks from subjects I barely 
remembered learning, a picture of my first girlfriend next to me on 
the desk (she, alas, had gone on scholarship to a different 
college, and we had carried on a difficult relationship via road 
trip for months).

I am never sure what to make of the worlds I visit in these dreams. 
Are they completely in my head -- incredibly vivid memories, 
complete with former incarnations of my ego and surroundings. That 
isn't too far fetched. I have had dreams in the past -- regular 
dreams -- which amazed me in their inventiveness and 
verisimilitude. But I sometimes wonder if I am in fact entering the 
past, altering it, as if there were a series of selves, all 
emanating from the past but all continuing in their present moment 
like images reflected endlessly in parallel mirrors, that I return 
to warp, to alter, frankly, to molest in mind and body.

It has occurred to me that such reckless post facto mayhem might 
send ripples forward, and that perhaps in some science fiction 
sense, the dreams were self-generated out of the trauma that they 
caused, preserving the law of cause and effect in some hopelessly 
weird way, and leaving only the word "WHY?" branded searing and 
dark on the meat of my brain.

Another more hopeful explanation is that I travel in my dreams to 
the dreams of my younger selves. This would help explain the 
sometimes-unexpected behavior that they exhibit, and the fact that 
I have no conscious memories of the encounters. As a case in point, 
when I announced my presence ("Hi, Bill," I said, in my normal tone 
of voice), the younger Bill did not jump in astonishment at the 
person who had appeared behind him, having come silently through 
his third-story window or locked dorm-room door. He merely turned 
his swivel chair around and said "Hi!" as if I were an old friend 
he didn't know was in town.

As this was the first dream of this sort that I have had, I did not 
yet have a standard "I am you from the future" speech well 
rehearsed, but fortunately the face he saw looked so similar to the 
one he saw in the mirror that it was clear no explanations would be 
necessary. He asked me my age (although I, of course, did not ask 
his. It is not as though I were forbidden, exactly; it's just that 
I seem to forget, and only wish I had asked when I awaken), and I 
gave it to him. 

He asked me if I ever graduated, I told him that in fact I had. He 
asked me when, but my brain was too fuzzy to do the necessary 
arithmetic or to remember the number on my diploma, which 
disappointed him. In retrospect, it is probably best that I was 
unable to produce the figure, as it took me about seven years from 
my freshman year(s) to reach the finish line, and this fact may 
have proven dispiriting.

In turn, I asked him how things were going with Amy (my then long-
distance lover) -- things were going "pretty well," but the 
distance was, of course, a problem as I certainly remembered. I 
asked him please to describe the last time they had made love (both 
as part of the seduction process, and because some of my best 
sexual memories are of Amy, and as I grow older these memories are 
becoming less and less vivid -- I wanted a better snapshot, and 
this was a golden opportunity). He was eager to comply; talking 
about sex with my best friend or two had been perhaps my second-
favorite activity at the time.

The scenario, which developed, after much prodding for details by 
my(older)self, was of a motel room in L----- where we had met -- 
halfway -- one weekend early in our first semester apart. We had 
had sex no fewer than three times that evening -- we didn't even 
leave the motel room to eat until after noon the next day. My 
memories became more vivid with the telling, a handful of details 
springing back to life with each one my younger self revealed.

I remembered Amy fondly as a lunatic bitch from hell who saved me 
from graduating high school a virgin. I loved her deeply, and she 
loved me passionately and almost drove me insane. We were both 
virgins when we met, which led to not one, but two nights of 
embarrassing attempts at accomplishing what our parents warned us 
could be perpetrated upon us at the drop of a hat without our 
constant vigilance. Virginities we had been warned not to lose, we 
found difficult to give away.

But still, she was either an amazing learner or a seductress by 
instinct. She gave the best blowjobs I have had to this day, some 
dozen sexual partners and another dozen bizarre dreams later. My 
near-overdose of pleasant recollection was interrupted: "I didn't 
marry her, did I?" he asked.

It amused me that I had ever even considered it a possibility. 
Marriage was to me then (and still is to me now, actually) a 
specter of mythological fascination. It seemed to strike people 
down in the prime of life almost without warning, although in 
consensus reality it was assumed to be a matter of choice and 
deliberation. It frightened me, and although instinctively I felt 
that plunging into a steady heterosexual relationship was probably 
a way of putting myself in marital jeopardy, I did not actually 
know this to be the case and so was prepared to risk it and perhaps 
plead ignorance at the altar if the time came.

"No," I said, and almost added that they would be broken up within 
several weeks. I decided that this comment would somehow go over 
the bounds of what a temporal alien could wisely admit, and kept it 
to myself.

He initiated our sexual activity, which surprised me a great deal 
during the dream (I was still trying to decide on a seduction 
method) but is less surprising to me now, remembering my hormone 
level at the time. I was inclined, as a young collegiate, to want 
to jump on anything representing a possible willing orifice, and 
nobody is less likely to refuse than yourself, I suppose.
We stripped, separately, and then I guided him over to the bed with 
a hand on the small of his back. He lay down and I began to suck 
him off -- he made so much noise! I remember really enjoying oral 
sex when I was younger, but I don't remember being so loud. On 
impulse, I got up and looked in each of the two places I remember 
keeping the K-Y when I was in the dorms (I found it secretively 
stashed behind the thesaurus).

Lying on the bed next to him, I continued to suck, and he joined in 
for 69 (which was, and still is, my personal favorite). Then I 
slowly worked a well-lubed finger up his asshole, a treat that in 
real life would have to wait for his second girlfriend. This was 
doing well for us both, but I did want to give him as many 
different experiences as possible at once (dream invader as faux-
benevolent big-brother figure plays strongly in my ethical 
overcompensation both during the dream and upon awakening).

I removed my finger, sat up and spread my knees apart on either 
side of his waist. I then applied a dollop of K-Y to his erection, 
and holding it firmly behind me, sat down slowly on it. He was 
mostly silent, staring at my face and alternately cringing and 
gasping as I impaled myself.

It was wonderful, and miraculously timed -- him coming with 
enormous adolescent bucks as I pumped myself empty onto his 
hairless chest and belly. A real winner, even by dream standards, 
although my dream faded away before I could collapse into what I 
think would have been a pleasant, though perhaps somewhat 
fraternal, post-coital embrace.

I have had another dream. In a way this was the most upsetting one 
of all, although, thank goodness, I was not compelled to reach 
further into the past and talk my infant self out of his diapers. 
No, this dream was a freak, one that I suspect I wasn't supposed to 
remember (and if it were not for the garbage truck accidentally 
backing into my house at five thirty this morning, I suspect that 
it would have passed ungrasped through the still fingers of my 
sleeping memory).

I was the visitor this time, and was visited by a bearded me some 
five to ten years my senior. He came into my bedroom while I was 
asleep; I woke up when I heard him going through my dresser drawers 
and closets. I said, "Hello," and he replied in kind, and asked me 
how old I was. I told him, and then asked him if I were still 
living in M----- and if I were still working for C-----. He said 
that he was not.

I tried to think of other questions to ask, but the dream 
playwright cruelly disallows the presence of mind that it would 
take to ask the better ones -- Am I happy? What would you do 
differently if you could start at my age again? Do you have any 
advice for me? I was lucky to have been able to ask what I did. I 
tried to remember what the young selves I visited asked me when I 
came into their lives, but all of the previous encounters blurred 
into an indistinct collection of memories I knew I owned but could 
not summon.

"Turn over," he said, and I did. He went straight to the bed stand 
and pulled out a tube of skin lotion that my girlfriend (who was 
not in the room of the dream) uses. I felt his knee push the 
mattress down. He pulled back the sheets and unceremoniously 
slapped a generous handful of cold lotion in the general vicinity 
of my anus. Before I had time to even wonder he was on top of me, 
heavy enough to make breathing difficult, and pushing in heavily 
with three painful thrusts.

I am a fan of (and no stranger to) penetration, and in my dreams I 
find it especially pleasurable, but this was no party. The older me 
was thrusting into me with a rape-like violence that I could feel 
in my spine -- it was a mean-spirited fucking that I never 
considered myself capable of, and that I could not imagine 
enjoying. Over and over, he was saying, "You're a sick fuck," or 
"You're a really sick fuck."

Is this really representative of the person I'm going to be years 
from now? Or, as in the classic time travel motif, is this just one 
of many possible futures, Ebenezer Scrooge, and I can choose 
another? Or is it merely a man tormented by the same dream night 
after night who is no longer able to feel the least bit of sympathy 
for the however-cherubic demons of his nightmare imagination?

What crimes has he committed in his sleep? What tortures is he 
capable of, each one remaining somewhere in his memory as the 
perpetrator (and in this one case at least, the memory of the 
victim), and building upon the last, until the victim and criminal 
are morally separated only in time -- the punishment is the crime, 
but why? Some perverse William Burroughesque nightly turn of the 
karmic wheel -- an impassionate natural law gone bezerk visited 
upon me by chance or by divine fiat, like original sin or the 
condemnation of ignorant heathens, dropping bewildered from death 
into the inferno.

He was having difficulty reaching orgasm, and had by this time 
varied his mantra to "You're a really fucking sick fuck." I was 
pinned by his weight, and by the general inertia of dream world 
coenesthetic tunnel vision, could do little but time my breathing, 
and feel the ripping of my anus and compression of my prostate and 
ripples of pain and pressure up and down my lower back.

He finally came (by then I had become "a really fucking sick 
fucking fuck"), and was probably transported out of his dream, 
although in mine, he was a sleeping dead weight on my back, 
dripping semen, blood, and skin lotion down my upper thigh.

I moved slowly out from under him, and went out into the living 
room, where an animated, well-dressed crowd was engaging in 
ballroom dancing to the accompaniment of a big-band style 
orchestra. I just wanted to get some orange juice, but I wasn't 
wearing anything, so I snuck around behind potted plants and the 
grand piano (thankfully not catching anyone's attention).

When I got to the kitchen, there wasn't any orange juice left in 
the refrigerator, and then the garbage truck backed into my house 
and I woke up and remembered it all.
