Welcome to the world of Pangea.
The world of Pangea is full of interesting people doing incredible things in their sleep. The Oral History of Pangea is a collection of interviews between these amazing people and the dream scribe The Griot. This is where they get to share their stories. Every interview that the Griot captures has a date and time associated with it. That date and time is the moment that the Griot woke up and wrote down the words of their interviewee. Each week, I’ll share a brand new entry from The Griot’s Notebook that will spotlight a proud citizen of Pangea.

“Sometimes it feels as if Pangea has become a spoiled paradise. It used to be my favorite place, my safe haven. But now it seems it’s gone the way of everything when I am awake. I feel like I’m surfing on an avalanche using a toothpick. Everything is going downhill, fast, and if I don’t stay upright, I will be buried. “

“…I do it all – baby showers, graduation parties, engagement parties, proms, concerts – nothing is too big or small. Most people sleep to rest but when I close my eyes, I’m at my most active. I’m jumping from dream to dream to make sure everything is just perfect for my clients!”

I don’t consider myself a hero. Really, I don’t. I think it’s cool that I’m recognized for doing what I love and I’m good at. I also don’t mind the attention.

“My name is #456981 at Robyn Island Correctional Facility. I’ve been that number for twenty nine birthdays, six presidents, three wardens, and two chaplains. I’ve been in solitary confinement for 1,237 nights. I’ve missed 9 family funerals, 4 sibling weddings, and the joy of seeing 2 ex-boyfriends get fat. ..”

“Did you know that there are people deciding on how you should be living your dream lives each night? You don’t know these people, you’ve never heard of or elected them, but they set rules for you without your knowledge or input…”

“I negotiated the second truce between the Coyotes and the Detectives. That was a big deal because there were hostages involved on the Isle of the Dead. Real nerve wracking situation so navigating that put me on the map…”

“I’m above it all. I’m floating above Pangea in space when I sleep. It’s just me up there ad the world looks like a giant DreamHub to me…”

“How many people somewhere in this world were with me when I dreamed that I went to school naked? Or even something simple like when I would dream about traveling to another country like Dubai…”

“In my entire time running the Cuckoos, I only lost one agent in the line of duty. I don’t like talking about him too much but I think about him a lot. I think about the things I could have done differently. What we all could have done differently.”

“In Pangea it’s all about your mind. How well can you control yourself in the game? How well do you know the ins and outs of the game? How well can you get into the mind of you opponent and get them off their game?”

“After a couple months of meeting famous and not so famous adults, I decided to dedicate my life in Pangea to children. I took everything I learned in Pangea and shared it with kids I’d meet from all over the world.”

“There were lines around the building every single night for our entire run. Every night for four straight months, we performed to sold out, standing room only crowds. I was just happy to be part of such an incredible cast. “

“We played a few games before it happened. When it did, it was like the sky opened up and started pouring heavy rain. It came down so heavy and fast that people barely had enough time to react and put their things away. It was as if someone was dumping buckets of water on you.”

“He’s easily the most gifted artist I’ve ever worked with. That album changed my life as you know. We became the talk of Pangea. We ended up winning all of those Phoenix awards, I even had to give up my Lucky Death residency because we got too busy from touring. It’s all been a whirlwind that I’m incredibly grateful for.”

“Our mission statement is simple – we reconnect parents with their children. When we’re assigned a client, we meet with them in real life or Pangea, find out about their child and why they lost them, and then search Pangea high and low for them.”

“Our entire lives are spent in the pursuit of money. I’m not better than anyone else. I’ve spent my life chasing down the next best thing too. And because of that, I’ve missed so many great moments in the lives of the people around me.”

“Basically, I’d have people pay to join the exclusive group of viewers and when they were in, they’d be able to watch the dreams of whatever celebrity of the week we were featuring. The celeb got paid, we made some good money, and the viewers got to see how we all had the same type of dreams regardless of how famous people are.”
