Right now I really hate life.

Mi a sat fi lisn dis. Mi won fes yu a go fayn balans mayn bak sun.
I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you'll quickly regain a healthy state of mind*.

* Bit difficult to translate correctly. To have "balans" means to have ease of mind, and to be in control of one's life.

I sometimes remember a dream, but I often have dreams that have "dream logic", and are quite difficult to explain what's going on in them.

Ahe, gueua bai kaxua, lo tuju zuo elua za mahu ene tezi ga zuo ju igolu tuhu gene nxua hijiiu avaqu mie xeto li golu azo ju.
Yeah, sometimes they're just too abstract or, like, there's an animal who, for some reason, I just know is a person I know in real life but then they turn into a different person.

Ttie xevaloes ene tejo ttu eme muja zuo ti uo lima guje ji uaua giuji.
I just had a dream about a man who suspected his wife of murdering their baby.

Aura varu jua uaua.
The baby had some kind of problem.

Zoi ju lima jo ti mini ju jo hue tes eji uaua zuo abaraizu ju.
The wife said that she had decided that their baby was better off in heaven.

Baira wilijau jua.
She was very religious.

Mo xu mo? Ha molu ju wawa ha? Ha mini ha?
What? The baby is dead? Decided?

Niu xo ja maju lo baira uhu xe vauas emala los eio meua.
The man worked a lot and always came home late at night.

Kka xevas eje ju uaua lo vaka gaua.
He didn't see the baby every day.

Texiie ihu ja kuajo xevia uaua, mie kka uaua.
So he went to check on the baby but there was no baby.

Jebihi ju lima jo kka zoi jas exi ko baligu.
The wife begged the man not to tell the police.

Mies ebaligu ja.
But the man went to the police.

Kka ba muilias ene xuue vuuo.
I don't really remember that part.

To teua bozu ju nema hue moho guxi euo xua bubu mala zi ko kivo xeto volu xi eje.
Then the couple's older daughter found a "stone" in the back yard and gave it to the father.

Ko gigi hiiavu keve xu xe xa zu o.
It was like hardened cloth wrapped around something.

Bio kas enie ja xi exi baligu.
The man was about to take it to the police.

Mie to nxuaio xu mujiga lo nxui ja kuajo zava xi auto.
But a team of men came to take away his car as he was leaving.

Ti niu huzutiu ja.
He had some traffic violations.

Niu vaua huzu bai ttiu ja.
He always drove too fast.

To bios enie je xu mujigas exi mala baligu.
The men wanted to take him to the police station.

Tara nna ona alihi geje tezi ga.
Suddenly, for some reason, I was this man's sidekick.

Kuaina inu xui mujiga ajo jiio ba ttiu.
We escaped from the men by running very fast.

Tiage ja zi auto xe jolis ini xu mujigas aixi auto giuji.
The man stole a car and the team of men followed us in their cars.

Kuaina inu ijui.
We lost them.

Xeto tiage inu zi autos azo xe huegue mala ko baligu.
Then we stole another car and went back to the police station.

Mie ti miena ieni xi ko kivo. Babo!
But we had forgotten the "stone". Stupid!

Texiie ixeto tiage inu zi auto ko baligu kuajo huegue lu za ti kuaina nxua inu xui mujiga.
So we stole a police car to go back to where we had lost the team of men.

Huzu xu mujiga zi auto ko baligu zas azo lo mia mala ko baligu.
The team of men were driving another police car towards the police station.

Enie xu mujiga ji auru ti he bane guxi.
They had a number of people whom they had arrested.

Lima mu giujis iza kue vireo ju za miuzutiu ju izi tumati axi eniula. !?!
Among them was a lady who made videos in which she illegally squashed tomatoes in her vagina. !?!

Kue na axi uaju jo mia xuue autos exi mala ko baligu.
I radioed that particular car to divert them to the police station.

Babo ia xevaloe. Kuje toio mia xu exi xe kka mue tie ia uaju ko baligu.
Dream logic. They were going there anyway and that's not how police radios work.

Xe texi mo izo vuuo ko baligu xuue mujiga?
And why was this team of men now in the police?

Xeto nxua kiauta inu iza kuje ti nxuaie inu.
And then, we were at a peninsular, where we had been before.

Mie nzua lu inu za ti mbu teinu iza nzi auru mala.
But we were at a place where, years before, we had caused an explosion that had destroyed several houses.

Gutio inu.
We were outlaws.

And then I woke up.

Yeah, this happens to me too.

When I wake up, I think "WTF?"
