The One With the Rude Lady at the Convention

I was at some sort of work-related convention at a huge center.  I was in the main lobby area trying to figure when I was supposed to go into the big room was where all the action currently was, but was at the moment filled with Japanese businessmen.  The announcer was speaking English, however, because I heard him say sarcastically, "Wow, look at the big orange gay pride flag..." but it was actually a confederate flag hanging up.  They were going to drive a car up a ramp through the flag like the Dukes of Hazard.  

The entrance was cordoned off and they were taking tickets from people when it was their turn to come in.  Tim H. from MM walked past me because it was his time to go in, and he took a bowling ball like everyone else was doing before going in, and rolled it up a two-railed track.  A ticket person said, "oh, so close."  It was like bocce where you had to roll your ball hard enough to knock someone out of place without going too far. 

Still trying to figure out my time, I figured I needed to have lunch first because my session must be after lunch.  The lunch area was a gigantic buffet with themed sections.  I walked by an Italian section that had various slices of pizza and spaghetti, and came to a Mexican section that had eggplant flatbread that looked good (Mexican? dream logic).  I went to get a tray, but the trays were all edible and there were multiples to choose from.  I think I chose an eggplant flatbread tray (again, dream logic) and went to get my eggplant flatbread, which had like 3 lengthwise slices of eggplant and cheese on each bread.  The lady before me had taken hers and was scraping one more slice of eggplant off the last flatbread (the one I wanted).  I said, "Thanks for taking toppings off the last piece of flatbread that I wanted."  She turned and she looked familiar.  I said, "Hey, I've yelled at you for something similar in the past, haven't I?"  She smirked and said, "Yeah you have.  Too bad."  She turned and walked away.  I was bummed but a person that was working the buffet came up to me and asked "Bet you didn't know you could ask for artisan cheese from the farmer's market." and she had a spatula of another piece of eggplant with special cheese that she put on the bread to replace the stolen piece.  I thanked her and took my food to the sitting area.

Unfortunately, the sitting area was several floors down from the buffet and all of a sudden my arms were full with my tray and shopping bags.  With full arms, I tried navigating between people in crowded areas and the stairs had people just sitting there or standing in the way.  A lady helped me get through one area and I said, "Thank you for being the only person that offered to help me this whole time!"  She replied, "Thank you for accepting my help without (I can't remember what she said here exactly but I think it was like 'grabbing onto me'); we understand each other!  Have a great week, great day!"  I kept trying to go down to the sitting area and she followed me.  I finally got to this place where I could go down, but it was big steps down into these terraced planters with no plants, just dirt.  I jumped down two levels, and the lady who helped me who was still above me said, "You DIDN'T just do that!" and laughed.  That's when I woke up.

The One at the Mall

I dreamed that I was at a pretty large mall.  I went to a pet store that had tiny giraffes in the bird area and little frogs outside of tanks that would lose their legs if you picked them up.  I picked one up and a leg came off, and then another before I put it back.  Then after that I saw a sign that said not to pick up the frogs.

There was another area where they kept bringing out animals to interact with.  First there was a baby goat, so I got down on all fours and it climbed on my back.  At this point, my friend Mark met me at the store.  Then a woman dressed and made up like Marilyn Monroe brought out a lizard that looked like a baby alligator as it raced over to me, but then changed into more of a small gila monster.  At first it looked aggressive, but when I pet it, it became very affectionate like a cat.

Later I was in a restaurant or pub that had this weird bicycle looking thing and if you pulled a ring on a chain, it would open a gate into a secret section that was sort of like a cross between a game and escape room.  It was like a car with a video screen.  I "drove" the car into an area that had fire on the video screen and had to find stuff to put into funnel-like receptacles to put it out.  

A couple of kids came in while I was doing it, and they were trying to play it with me. 

Then I woke up.

The One with Hide and Seek and the Vote

 The first thing I remember was me hooking up with a friend of mine (that I used to work with) in a big, old house.  The friend was also the project manager of a big effort and there was a vote about to take place.  I was a key vote, but the project manager was trying to stall the vote for some reason.

I was hiding all over the house trying to avoid Jen (who is a woman that I used to work with) who was trying to find me so the vote could take place.

I hid behind furniture and in closets.  Two other women found me in a closet and commented, "Oh, you're back in there" and laughed.  Once, I pulled down the stairs to the attic (the kind that fold up into the ceiling) to trick Jen into going up into the attic.

At one point, I ran out of the house and started running away but had to go back because if they knew I left the house, it would count as an absence and the vote could move forward without me.

The One with the Singing in the Tunnel

I had a dream I was walking through the tunnels at work and listening to music on my phone with no headphones and singing along loudly. There was a bunch of songs I was listening to but then I remember listening to Glitter and Be Gay and started skipping and then Bridget from work heard me and started singing along too.

She was a very good singer and started going through the tunnel with me.  It got to the part with a very high note and she hit it very well.  I was pretty surprised.

We ran into some of the people that empty the trash at night and I had her sing it again for them.

I had trouble finding the song again on my phone apparently because I kept spelling Chenoweth wrong, but then I eventually found it by searching only for "Cheno".

The One with the Frozen Yogurt

I had a dream last night that two coworkers and I had gone to college together at the college I attended in real life and I think we were in the area for a reunion, or homecoming…  We went to a fast food place to pick up I think a hamburger and frozen yogurt and then were walking barefoot around the large park across the street from the college.  I remember thinking we didn’t pick up our food while in the park, but we did, but I went and got some more frozen yogurt anyway.

The One with the Tobiko In My Nose

I was talking with someone from work and they commented that my nostrils looked strange - they were closed like if you pinch your nose shut.  I thought it was weird that I didn't notice a change in my breathing and looked in a mirror.

My nose did feel a bit clogged, so I stuck my finger in one nostril and felt something, so I kind scooped and some tobiko came out.

I was very concerned in the dream and went to a doctor and they said that I had a disease.  That's all I remember.

The One with the Ice Dancing, Graduation, and Hostage Convent

The first thing I remember is dancing with a guy ballroom-style.  He was tall and I think someone I was dating.  I was leading and we were dancing waltz (and it seemed to fit) but then I realized the song was in 4/4 so I tried dancing the rhumba twice as fast.

There were a bunch of guys there dancing around too, I think Keith from work was there too.  At one point we decided we were ice dancing (but not on ice - we were outside at a park plaza or on a wide sidewalk or near a fountain or something like that and it was nighttime).  So we were kind of sliding around and trying spinning jumps once in a while.

Then the guy went and got a bunch of mortar boards (graduation hats) that were different colors for different designations:  I was getting black because I was going to be a consultant, he was getting blue because he was getting his doctorate (and in the dream that meant he was going on to continue to get his PhD) and red was for master's degrees.

Then things changed over to a bunch of my friends graduating.  The guys were gone and everyone seemed to be hispanic female friends of mine, none of which seemed to be people I recognize as friends in real life.  Although graduation wasn't that day, we were taking all kinds of pictures of them in their mortar boards.  When we were talking about when graduation actually was, we were speaking both English and Spanish.

For one of the photos, the girls getting master's degrees were standing behind a Christmas tree and to all get behind it (since there were 7 or 8) some had to stand on something.  I was trying to take pictures, but there were a bunch of other people trying to take pictures with a bunch of cameras, so it was hard to get them all to look at one camera.  But then I realized you couldn't see any of them through the tree, anyway.  What kind of seemed like their eyes showing through were just the Christmas lights.

Things kind of broke up from there and people started wandering around.  There was a big building that was both inside and outside - like a building with walls but no roof - maybe like a plaza in Spain.  Some of the girls went into that building and I followed.  Inside there were a bunch of shady looking guys walking around.  They looked like they were in a gang or something.

In the corner, four of the girls were in what looked like a photo book with a short curtain so you could see their legs.  Two were jammed together facing the back, and it appeared two more were sitting on the other two's shoulders.  I thought that was funny, so I took a picture of them getting the picture taken in the booth.

I took a couple more photos in the building before wandering out.  A guy ran over to me waving wildly telling me to get out of there.  He said that a bunch of guys broke into the building, tripped the alarm and police were on their way.

I realized that the building was actually a Diesel store, the girls were in a dressing room and they were probably going to get into trouble for being in there, although they wandered in there by mistake just like I did.  I also realized that I got a photo of two of the gang members while taking pictures inside, so I turned on my video function and started to try discretely filming to capture as many of the gang members as possible when they start to leave when the police arrive.

I started going back to the building, which at this point seemed to be bigger, have a roof and have a big black iron fence around it.  All these nuns in different outfits started pouring out, in a hurry, some praying, some yelling "Save us!  Save us!".  There were different groups that had different colored habits.  There seemed to be non-nuns with them, too.

One of the regular people was Mary from work and she was sitting down just outside the fence talking about her ordeal of being held against her will.  She was talking with Lisa (who was not held inside but had run over) about how they were all praying, and it seemed as though the room was spinning.

I ran over and said to Lisa, "You know Mary too?!  How??"  She said she did and I joked that it was because she was a whore (meaning the social butterfly kind, not an actual whore).

Then my alarm went off.

The One with Embossing

I had a meeting just outside of the office of the president where I work - like the waiting area for his office. We were troubleshooting some problem and I was working on a laptop. Once we were done with the meeting, I was looking around the room and found this round, metal disc with some kind of writing engraved on it. I couldn't tell what the writing was, so for some reason, I pressed it into the back of my hand so it became kind of embossed in my skin like a notary's stamp.

Because of that stamp, I think either the president or someone else saw it but I ended up getting promoted because of the stamp. It was like that was the way they marked people as special.

I was in another meeting, this time I think with an executive and some other people and ended up getting stamped by another executive but this time on my forearm.

The next thing I remember was being with some other people who got stamped - I think in a van - and we were talking about how we had our pay statements intercepted by a guy I work with but he just made sure they we got our raises - because of the stamps we got big increases in salary.

I also remember the executive who stamped me telling me to stamp a woman I work with. I found someone with that name and stamped her but she was very old - like too old to promote, and I realized I stamped the wrong wrong. So I had to find the right one. I think that part too place in a big mansion instead of a workplace.

At one point the others that got promoted and I were near some area of the company - like a back gate, and we were trying to get somewhere but you couldn't get there from where we were because the entrance was too congested... at least that was what we said. I just remember a tunnel-like entrance outside the gate leading underground at an angle.

The One with the Big Layoff

I was in my cubicle at work and everyone was looking out the windows.  There was a bunch of people outside and I think they laid off a whole division or sub and we were watching them leave all at once, kind of like a fire drill.

I went back to my cubicle and three of us were sitting in my cube with Mike (who didn't say a word), eating breakfast.  I was trying to tell Jeff about a dream I had with him in it, but there were two ladies who looked like lesbians who kept trying to listen.

I told them I couldn't tell the dream with them there but they didn't leave, and finally I said 'SHOO!'  And one said, "Was it a dream that they came and found porn on your work computer because you're so adorable?"  I said, "Yeah that's it!  Shoo!!"

I was eating something that I can't remember, Sarah was eating red jello and Jeff had creamy rice with peaches.  Sarah tried some of the rice and peaches but mixed it with her jello and was like, urm....  I thought about trying it but I asked Jeff if he was sick and he said yes.

Then I woke up.

The One at Taco Bell

I stopped at the Taco Bell in Westfield, and it was generally in the same location as the real one, although the stores and parking lot layout around it was different.

It was a larger-than-normal building for Taco Bell, and divided in half cross-wise. If you were looking at the front door from the outside, the left was where you ordered and there was one of those people corrals, and the right was where the seating was and there was a second entrance on the side.

Also, it was one of those Taco Bells that had another restaurant in the same location. I can't remember what the other restaurant was, though.

I had to park pretty far away from the entrance because there were so many handicapped spots. I ended up parking near a gas station where the attendants looked really grubby and shady. I was wary about the safety of my car (which I think was the same as my real-life one) but since it was near the gas station, I figured it was all right.

I started ordering at the counter and the cashier asked for my drink order first. Then John came in and she took his drink order before I had ordered the rest of my meal. Then another woman from work, Sara, came in and she took her drink order too. I knew it was weird and was kind of annoyed, but since I knew everyone I was OK at this point.

When Sara was asked about her drink, she asked when the last time they had Lysol'd - she said, "Is your Lysol fresh?" The cashier said, "Yes..." And Sara asked, "Well, what's the date on the Lysol?" and the woman said 8/21/2009. Sara said, "Oh, 2009. Great! But I'm not going to get anything to drink."

We were all confused, and Sara said that on that date the weather was good.

Next, a guy I didn't know came in and put in his drink order, and at this point I was getting annoyed because I was really hungry and still hadn't put my food order in.

And still, Andrea came in and put her drink order in. I knew it was Andrea ******** in the dream, but when I had to sign her receipt, I had to sign her last name that was only four letters, although I don't remember the name.

We put in our food orders, and I had coupons in my black bag. I had one for a drink coupon, which I asked about and woman didn't know I had given it to her (there was something else to this, but I can't understand what I said on the dictation machine!).

Andrea had gone out to her car for some reason and it was time to start signing the credit card receipts. I thought at first that the woman put everything on my credit card, but someone she had rung them up all separately.

I was starving and Andrea was outside, so I was going to sign it for her, and I wrote out "Andrea" and was about to write that four-letter last name and the man asked if she knew I was doing that when Andrea came back in. She saw what I was doing and said, "No, you can't do that, how dare you!"

She took the pen and was going to finish when I woke up.

The One with the Underwear Show

A guy I work with (who shall remain nameless) was sitting on a toilet (going, uh, number two). I was in the bathroom also, which seemed to be in a private residence. He calmed watched and commented as I tried on different pairs of underwear, apparently preparing for some kind of outing. I was even taking them off and putting on new ones right in front of him - something I would not be inclined to do during waking hours.

The One with the Big Mob Shooting

I first remember being in a building in the center of the Westfield State College campus with Angelo - perhaps in the dining commons. Angelo worked at the college or was going to school there now and we were talking about it. He was saying that the campus was so big that he didn't know where anything was. I was saying that no, the campus is very small. He mentioned the student center (I think he had yet to see it) and I responded, "It's right there! I can see it from here!"

I decided to take him and some other student (I didn't recognize him) around, and said that it would be nice to see Stanley Park. Even though Angelo said he had been there before, we decided to head in that direction anyway. I think at one point we were in a car, but at another point the three of us were flying above Western avenue. There were a bunch of cops in the street like there would be for a big event, but then we noticed there were a whole bunch of guys dressed like old-style mobsters with small machine guns in the street, just kind of in a neat line going down the length of the street.

The other student and I were wondering what they were doing and were concerned, but Angelo was acting like a kid, making gestures and kind of yelling at the mobsters like it was all a game or a joke. We were flying down the length of the street for a bit when I heard something like, "Ok guys get ready." I yelled, "Let's get the hell out of here!" and somehow directed Angelo down a side street.

We started flying down the side street and kind of crashing into branches and stuff and ended up having to run. I remember pushing off tree branches with my legs to fly faster. At one point, I heard someone yelling, "OK, pull the rope!! Pull the rope!!" Although we couldn't see or hear directly, we knew that they had starting shooting and something else was going on, too. I never actually saw anyone in the dream get shot, though.

We ended up going into a big house (like a three family house) where two Asian boys lived (Tony and Jaycen?) and told them something was going on and we all ran up to the attic to hide. Someone from our group said to be quiet, but it seemed like the shooters were coming into houses, like they were just trying to kill everyone.

At this point, I think I woke up briefly and my heart was pounding. I fell back to sleep and all of a sudden the shooting was over but I was in the same dream, but someone I was now disguised as a small black cat. I remember running around the town trying to figure out a place go to. I ended up in some small apartment at the top floor of another multiple family house, turning on the TV briefly, but then leaving again for some reason. I remember seeing car lights (at this point it was dark) and crouching down and seeing cars drive by but then when I looked closer, they were like mechanically driven with statues in the car, almost so it would seem like the town was still populated. Some of the "people" in the cars, buses and such looked like the guys from the Blue Man Group.

A bunch of young people walked buy, and one girl made those kissing sounds when she saw me because she wanted to pet me. When she approached, I just ran away.

Now at this point in the dream, I started to find out more about what happened. I remember being in a hotel-like building and hearing the "Pull the rope!" line again. It seems l thought it was going to be like Ghost Ship and people would be somehow cut in half by the rope, but instead the rope was catching people in multiple, big nets. I don't know what was going to happen to the people in the nets. But they were shooting, too, and some people were trying to stop the nets. At one point, my friend Lissa ran by pulling a rope, and she was being heroic trying to save people.

The One When Lighting Struck Thrice

I was in a classroom, sitting in maybe the second row in the middle of the room. The teacher (although in the dream I though of him as a professor, so it must've been college) was in the front of the room teaching, like normal. Justin came in and was either going to be a guest teacher/speaker, replace the existing teacher or join the teacher on a permanent basis - I'm not sure.

The outer wall of the classroom had large windows, and some of them opened like doors. Justin went outside with the professor while the rest of us watched from inside the classroom. They were going to do some sort of demonstration.

The sky had dark clouds and Justin ended up getting struck by lightning - but it wasn't like a bolt came down and hit him, it was more like a cloud of electricity came down, surrounded him and shocked him for a few seconds and then dispersed. He remained standing at that point but became understandably nervous about staying outdoors.

The professor then got shocked in a similar manner while he was continuing to set up the demonstration. Justin became increasingly agitated and for good reason because he got hit a second time. I remember bolts of lightning kind of hovering around the clouds, pointing at the two of them, almost like they were being targeted. At this point in the dream, both Justin and the professor were lying on the ground unconscious.

The entire class was frozen and one other person and I were like "Call 911!!" So the other guy called while I ran into the hallway. I remember thinking of the stats that X percentage of people freeze in emergencies, Y% panic and scream and like 10% can actually function.

In the hallway (a college/school hallway), there was what looked like a medical triage unit set up in a large stairwell landing. I remember seeing a very large defibrillator unit. Lynn was the head nurse. I yelled for her to come into the classroom, but she shook her head like she was too busy with other things. I yelled that two people had just gotten hit by lightning, so she followed me into the classroom.

At that point, I woke up.

The One With Everything But the Kitchen Sink

I had a dream with lots of stuff combined... work, school, magic, video games, monsters....

I was not feeling well - I think I had a cold but felt woozy like I might have had a fever or something. But I was taking a test that my boss at work had given out. I remember it having quadratic equations or something and depending on whether or not someone was male or female, they used a different equation.

My boss was giving me tips on how to do the test, but at some point I lost the test and was looking all over for it. I had notebooks filled with other stuff but the test.

At one point I went to the back of the room to look for it, but I picked up an opened package of artificial sweetener off a girl's desk, got it on her jacket or something and cleaned off her desk. She had applied for a job somewhere else so when my boss asked her why she was late, she said she was in HR.

At one point I went on to this raised platform to look for the test and a monster came out onto the platform and I had to fight it. I did the thing where I put my fists together in front of me and that gave me some sort of power and I beat it even though I wasn’t feeling well. Once I beat it, there were all these little pills around that were like in video games after you beat something - you get stuff to increase your health and magic points back up. So, ate those. I don't recall feeling less "sick."

I looked through my notebook again looking for the test but didn’t find it, but apparently I was looking to buy speakers because I had different models cut out of magazines or something and pasted in some of the pages with notes.

The One When Nick, Michelle and I Go For a Ride

I just had a dream that I was in the back seat of a car (SUV I think) with Michelle and Nick was in the front passenger seat in front of me. Nick had just gotten back from Arizona where he spent Xmas and he brought me back two packages of Starbursts that were all strawberry flavored. He was showing us pictures from his trip and a video that he took with 9mm film... It was fall there and the leaves were turning colors and he were wearing a jacket, which was weird.

The video went past these ruins really quickly - like a miniature stonehenge and he were more fascinated with turkeys and the leaves. Then the car was somehow down there and we saw a bunch of bald eagles. He said it was legal to shoot them down there as long as they were in flight. He had also gotten a new job working on the "Rob Roy" project.

The One with the Football and Cigarette

I had a dream last night that Marc, Ellen, Jeff, Mike and I were outside, at night, in a tennis court at a school. We were having some sort of party, I think, but Marc was like our sports coach. We were taking turns doing something with balls --- like we were taking turns at bat but we weren't playing baseball. I think we were using tennis balls and definitely a football. 

So at one point I volunteered to throw the football for people because I didn't really like 'playing' - it was like I was doing the pitching for batting practice and not taking a turn at bat. Ellen was smoking and when I decided to that, I took over from her and took the rest of her cigarette. So I was throwing a football at the rest of you, who were drinking beers and stuff, with the cigarette hanging out of my mouth.

The One with Magic and Naked Demons

The first part of my dream was that I was on some sort of educational trip - either for school or training for work. I remember being on a bus and taking notes and then getting off at a bus stop and having to walk home with my luggage. I was dropped off and was walking toward my parents' house.

But then I was staying at someone else's house like I was visiting them on vacation or something. I remember sitting in bed and there were sliding glass doors in the bedroom and I could see into the back yard of the house. There were all these people (seemed to be young 20's) playing some sort of live role playing game.

At one point, in the back yard there was a woman walking in the yard next to the house I was staying at and it looked like there was a bear in the back yard of the house I was staying at. Then something vague happened and the woman got “hit” and I don't know if she fake-died or what, but something happened in the game.

Then someone was talking to me about the game and asked me if I noticed that when I couldn't see the person in the backyard, they actually looked like a bear. Apparently when the person was covered (they had like a blanket or cloak or something they pulled over their head and were in shadow) they could take the shape of something else - in this case, a bear.

As the other person was telling me this, I noticed that the bear person had a cold, so I concentrated really hard and held out my hand and this little bubble appeared by magic and floated over to the person. The person who was explaining this stuff to me got kind of mad and said I shouldn't have done it or something but I said it was only a cough drop.

Then I was on a street and a guy from work appeared from a neighbor's house and he was running around naked and his body was all one color - a weird color like red or blue or something. I ran toward him with my hands out and my power at that point was to suppress his power until I grabbed him by the balls which made it so he couldn't do anything. I had to even kind of dig my nails in. It was kind of like I was playing the game City of Villains in real life or something.

Then I was trying out some other powers - once again I thought I might have the power where I slapped my hands together I could make a sonic boom but that didn't really work out well.

The One with Ella, the Presentation and the Threat

I had to give a presentation at work and I was in a hallway that was like the hall around an arena where they serve food and stuff. I went to the bathroom and was peeing and this guy I went to High School with, let's call him Rob, was all of sudden standing next to me. He just kind of looked at me and this necklace I had around my neck (might have been just a silver chain) and then he went and stood next to another guy. Then he started hitting that guy, and they were kind of slapping at each other. The other guy washed his hands quickly and left. I washed my hands and left shortly after.

Then I was back in the hall way and Rob came up next to me and seemed kind of angry. He was telling me about this guy Jacob Brown or something like that and a story about him that I had to do with. Then I looked at him and said, “That was a dream!” It was a dream I had and posted it on my blog. Then Rob said, “You put that up on YouTube?” In my dream I said yes, but YouTube, Facebook and blog were like all the same thing. Then he kind of halfway pulled a knife out of his shirt and I stepped back and was like, “Oh my god, someone help me!” But no one working at the food places heard because I said it softly. But then he didn't do anything anyway and went away. I went on to my presentation.

Gina from work and I both had to give presentations and I think before all of the above happened, we were in a meeting trying to figure out a problem at work, but the time was getting close so we had to go get our notes. I got mine and went to the auditorium where we were giving them. I had to walk through another auditorium where two people were really annoying people coming in because they were repeatedly telling people to take their seats even though people where just coming in and whatever they were doing wasn't starting for a little bit.

I got to the auditorium where our thing was taking places - it was just for practice I think - and there were already a few people in there and one woman was practicing her speech. I took my seat.

The next thing I remember I was in someone's living room - I think in the dream it was in the house or apartment a woman that lived on the next street from my parents' house. The rug was weird in that it was like a normal run but had long, 4 inch pieces that stood straight up like a really long shag carpet but the long pieces weren't as densely packed together. But we were all watching Ella Fitzgerald sing. In the dream I loved the way she spoke between pieces. She seemed so nice and had this southern black accent that was just dripping with honey. We made it through about 7 songs before I woke up.

The One with the Football and the Cigarette

I had a dream that Marc, Ellen, Jeff, Mike and I were outside, at night, in a tennis court at a school. We were having some sort of party, I think, but Marc was like our sports coach. We were taking turns doing something with balls --- like we were taking turns at bat but we weren't playing baseball. I think we were using tennis balls and definitely a football.

Ellen was smoking and when I decided to that, I took over from her and took the rest of her cigarette. So I was throwing a football at the rest of you, who were drinking beers and stuff, with the cigarette hanging out of my mouth.

The One When Charissa Tried to Kill Me

I had a dream during a nap that this woman (she looked like Charissa from work) was trying to kill me – shoot me with a gun. I ended up killing her after she got the police (who had come to arrest her) to put the right handcuffs on her that allowed her to shoot me. The cuffs had the right letter or writing or something on them that matched up with either my middle name or my middle initial. They had to match before she could shoot me.

Somehow I managed to hide and miss getting shot and somehow got the gun and shot her. I shot at her once, I think it either hit her in the head or missed her or hit her in the head AND didn’t really hit her, and then I got her once in the face hear her nose and a policewoman was like ‘oh [ew] look at the hole.’

I ran upstairs to where my mom was (somehow I get the impression that she was sick and had to stay in bed but don’t remember anything specific about it). I looked over the balcony (I think we were in a hotel with this weird play-type of equipment and I recall seeing photos of her and a friend playing on this water equipment – it was like air filled plastic balloon like play set type of things similar to McDonald’s equipment) and saw them putting her in a body bag. I was so unsure if she was really dead.

Then I had to get ready to go to some function – Veronica’s baby shower I think. I was going to call Jeff to see what he got her because I didn’t have time to shop for a present like I was planning on. (Lisa’s baby shower is coming up in real life). I woke up discombobulated - it was a really long nap – I went to take a 20-minute nap at like 5:30 when I got home and woke up at 8:08 (my alarm said 8:15). I thought it was the morning but was confused because it was dark out so I thought it was just before my alarm usually goes off. Since I thought I was late, I was going to call in sick to work, but then realized it was night and still Thursday.
