I had an interesting dream last night. David Lynch had invited me to see a couple of new musical instruments he had invented. The first one he referred to as the 'Lynch Bell'. It was a very large church bell with no clapper and an immobile yoke. He demonstrated it's functionality by having an old man with a cello stand beneath it. I was told that this man had no musical talent and that this was what the Lynch Bell was for. The man adorned a purple cape that was hanging from the side of the bell an looked towards us. He suddenly smiled widely and looked up into the bell with his arms straight out to his sides. He very slowly lifted off the ground for about 10 seconds and then he looked down at us and shot up into the bell at about 200 miles an hour. For a brief period, no longer than 30 seconds, the man apparently played the cello inside the bell with remarkable skill. He then suddenly stopped and the purple cape fluttered down out of the bell. Upon inspection, the man, his personal effects, and the cello had all vanished.

Next Mr. Lynch decided to show me his newest and largest instrument, which he dubbed 'David Lynch's Cosmophone'. It was an enormous and complex device consisting of a 16 foot tall cylindrical structure topped with a dome and a building about the size of a large recreational vehicle. The cylindrical structure had four enormous tubes coming out of the bottom of the dome that ended in different kinds of metallic spigots or nozzles. There was a fifth tube coming from the base of the structure that connected to the separate building. The separate building's contents could easily be viewed via two large windows on one side. It was partitioned by a metal grate with a door in it between the two windows. The side connecting to the tube had a very large rotating radio tube inside of it that hummed loudly and shot out sparks and green gas. The other side had specialized lockers on the far end from the partition that stored human beings like a morgue. The Cosmophone was currently producing an ongoing slow ringing noise with some amount of analog distortion and the occasional belching sound. The meowing of a cat could also be heard.

I asked David Lynch about the meowing.

"Yes, it contains a cat." he informed me matter-of-factly.

I wasn't able to inquire further before he cut me off.

"Unintentionally, of course, but we can't get it out now." he said this while pouring cat food and water into one of the many vents along the cylinder.

I was then directed to watch the events taking place in the separate building. A Chinese woman in a lab coat, presumably a scientist, was just finishing hauling 5 unconscious people and a rottweiler into the morgue-like locker chambers. All six of these beings had mangled and useless looking legs and were wearing widely varying amounts of clothes. There was one young man in his boxers, a young woman wearing a sweater and panties, a Chinese woman that looked identical to the scientist completely naked, an old man wearing fisherman's attire and a middle-aged woman dressed like a waitress. The rottweiler was unadorned. The six were just beginning to stir when a strange black ooze started to seep forth from the spinning radio tube. The ooze, clearly alive, crawled it's way through the metal grate towards the six lockers. It lunged forward and stuck itself to the old fisherman and wrenched him out of the locker. It pulled him through the door in the grate back into the radio tube room where he quickly withered and dissolved. The other five, fully awake now, began to panic. All of them broke out of their lockers and began crawling around the room with only their arms at the speed an average person could run. They went in and out of the radio tube room, and in and out of the building entirely, seemingly aimlessly. All of them were screaming and howling. Next the ooze grabbed the dog and then the man in his boxers back into the radio tube room, where they dissolved. The remaining three now rolled onto their backs and waved their arms about in the air screaming.

I turned to Mr. Lynch and complimented him on the ingenuity and uniqueness of the musical instrument he had created. He stared at me with a look that seemed to express that he believed I was an idiot and didn't understand the purpose of this exercise at all. The Chinese doctor had come to our side and was now handing us gas masks. She looked very worried and kept glancing at the radio tube which was now producing prodigious amounts of green gas and sparks. Steam had started to erupt from the ends of the nozzles and spigots and the ringing had become much louder and faster.

Then I woke up.
