My name is Anthony. AKA Uncle T.

I have my own place. Normally, I sleep about six hours a night, but eight, ten hours sometimes. My dream life is sometimes off, sometimes on. I’ve heard from other people that they just can’t catch a dream. But I pretty much remember my dreams [when I do dream]. One of the lucky ones, I guess. A lot of people can't. But I dream less now. I dreamt more when I wasn't using drugs.

When I was a kid [I dreamt] all the time. Just kid stuff, you know, like, riding a bike, you know, or going swimming, dancing to music, stuff like that. [They were] pretty much happy. I've had quite a few dreams where I was kind of like, Superman, right? I could like jump and like go long distances and yeah. That was crazy. It was, well, it was fun [laughs]. [I dreamt that dream] periodically, usually two times in a row. One after the other. Or even getting back to sleep and continuing my dream. That'san odd one though. I'm able to like, run and jump and, like, woohoo! You know? Run 200 yards.

Superman is cool. That guy… well, he could do anything back then, right? Nowadays in movies he can wind up dead. But the old Superman, [the one in] black and white, I remember that. We used to watch him every day. My brother and I. Superman, Batman and Robin, Green Hornet. You know, all the old stuff. Superman was cool. He was a hero.

There was a time when I used to laugh in my sleep to the point where I woke myself up. That was a while back, but it was something to do with family though. It was something my sister—one of my younger sisters—had done, and just cracking up. She probably fell or tripped over something, or somebody getting a pie in the face. And everybody's like just cracking up laughing. All you see is her eyes. Stuff like that. That's happened a couple times. Other dreams I've had were [about] my career. And that was driving a truck. I drove for like, 25 years. So, I'd get dreams, maybe once or twice every six months or a year. Just exactly what happened in the day. But in short form.

I'd have to say within the last ten years or so, it's been like, sometimes [I] catch a dream, but not like it used to be. There was a time when I had quit for a year straight and I went to live with family in Brampton and within a couple months I started dreaming nightly.

I can't really say I've had many nightmares, or hardly any. Like I said, the best ones for me are where I could fly.

I can't say I have shared [my dreams], maybe [with] a couple people, but that's about it. I mean, people nowadays, they don't talk about that stuff, you know? Or they’re into one thing and one thing only. I'm on them sometimes, like, “Don't you ever talk about anything else other than freaking drugs?” [laughs]. After a while you’re tired of hearing it, right? Well for me anyway. All you hear is “I had the best shit. Oh, I got the bomb.” Whatever. Whatever, man. But we're in a society where everything's based on freaking doing drugs. That's what a lot of people worry about: getting that next hit into them. Me, I don't have to worry about that. I take care of myself. I look after myself.
