MY DIARY DIGITAL DATA ENTRY 95 OF 145

Tonight I have been wondering what it would be like to be a live-in cemetery caretaker - because as I have stated previously here in one of my earlier diary data entries - after hiding out and living here at the cemetery since I was made homeless earlier this year - being a cemetery caretaker would be a job that I would like to do whilst I work on my artwork and also try to be successful and make a living out of my artwork - however there does not seem to be any live-in cemetery caretakers around anymore - is it not economically viable enough to have someone live onsite at a cemetery anymore I wonder - however you think that it would be a good thing to have a live-in cemetery caretaker - because besides maintaining the cemetery - the live-in cemetery caretaker could also provide on-site security at the cemetery that they are the live-in caretaker of - especially to stop any possible vandalism at the cemetery during the night when a cemetery is closed to the general public - and so now I also wonder has the job of a cemetery caretaker possibly become redundant due to an inability to find cemetery caretakers to take on the job of being a live-in cemetery caretaker - and I also now wonder if previous cemetery live-in caretakers in the past become unsettled and continually fled - leaving the cemetery commissions with no future live-in cemetery caretakers to take over the job and live in the cemetery in order to look after it - and I also now wonder if previous cemetery caretakers fled their job as a live-in cemetery caretaker - and if so what made them possibly runaway and leave their job as a live-in cemetery caretaker - was there a supernatural cause or event that made them want to leave - for being a believer in the supernatural and the post-physical existence of the soul - and also having some personal supernatural experiences throughout my life - would many live-in cemetery caretakers throughout history have possibly experienced and been disturbed by supernatural experiences at night whilst working as a live-in cemetery caretaker - for in my nightly wanderings through the cemetery grounds - although I am often on edge - mainly against possible physical attack from people such as vandals - there is some sense of the supernatural that permeates throughout the entirety of the cemetery grounds - because sometimes when I am walking through the cemetery at night - things sometimes seem to move slightly out of the corner of my eyes - and just beyond my threshold of direct visibility and conscious comprehension  and understanding - And tonight when I got back from my nightly meal at the church charity food van at the city's industrial market warehouse carpark - I went back to sleep again and fell into a heavy sleep - and I do not usually sleep at night as I only usually sleep in the day - however maybe because of the very cold winter weather that is now here in Melbourne - and also because of all the heavy and deep past personal issues that I have been mentally dealing with and writing about lately here in my diary data entries - my mind is now worn out and weary and needs the extra sleep - so as I previously stated - tonight I fell into a deep sleep when I came back from having my nightly meal and I woke up not that long ago now from a deep sleep and a dream - and in my dream I dreamt that I was walking through the cemetery and being instructed by some strange, surreal, cemetery dwelling specter on the subject matter of how the tall, iron and steel and barbwire covered fences and gates of Melbourne cemetery are fairly protective of the cemetery grounds - however it would be better if they were replaced with a high and all encompassing completely surrounding stone and concrete wall with barbwire on top and impenetrable iron gates with barb wire on top - and then in my dream the cemetery dwelling specter who was explaining this to me - showed me a rusted and slightly broken part of the current cemetery fence - and although it was still fairly impenetrable - in my dream it was like the whole green painted wrought iron fence also had a red glow permeating from it - and the red glow was very distinct and strong - and it was kind of like the dark, intense glow of red neon lighting - and it somehow seemed as if that red glow of light also protected the cemetery grounds as part of the iron fence - however the red glow seemed to fade and then have a break in it at exactly the same point that the iron fence was decayed and slightly broken - and although this dullness and break in the bright red glow where the iron cemetery fence was slightly broken posed no significant problems or threats from intruders - it seemed that the sacred cemetery grounds needed to be distinctively separated, shrouded and protected from the secular outside world of the living - And then when I woke up from this dream I had an overwhelming urge to tell the cemetery commission that it would be very beneficial for the cemetery if the current somewhat decaying existing cemetery iron fence was replaced with the all encompassing and protectiveness of the tall and thick stone and concrete wall and gates from my dream - however I do not know how I would try and explain to the cemetery commission if I ever had the chance - why this beneficial but no doubt costly replacement of the current cemetery iron fence with an all encompassing stone and concrete and barb wire wall and fence would be beneficial - especially in the context of the red protective neon like glow of the fence - as it appeared and why it appeared in my dream that I just had.
