Someone was choosing dresses for me. I had two to choose from. One was black and white print, long and flowing rayon. When I wore it, I looked impossibly thin. The next dress was in two pieces. The top was green and the bottom brown. It was heavy, woolen, or felt-like. In the mirror I looked five times larger than normal.

You asked me to house/dog sit for you. You had 3 pugs and they were all at your Mom's house. I must have been living in Reseda because I remember driving down Roscoe, thinking that you must be important to me because taking care of these pugs was really out of the way for me (and far from work). I get to your mother's house and had some weird sort of amnesia. I remembered you telling me that one of the pugs was greedy and needed to be fed first or it would steal the food from the others. Funny thing, the greedy one was the runt of the three. The house was dark and those petrified cookies with the label made by Ron were still sitting there. I changed the water and then stood there clueless. The pugs could speak so they told me how I needed to feed them and when you would be back (in 5 days). I obeyed their requests and then found huge trays of gourmet baked goods. It was Christmas time. I tried some of everything.

I was with Kevin H. and a large group of people. We were in the streets and a bus pulled up. To get around the crowd, we walked onto the bus, preparing to disembark before it started moving, but we were too slow. It began moving. I had no money and didn't know where it would take us. We ended up at an oceanside area. The bus was driving directly next to the water, which was see-through. We saw people swimming in it up close.

Suddenly, I saw a shark, just the fin, and pointed it out to Kevin. It was huge, and moved swiftly toward a tall, elderly couple. We screamed--not everyone on the bus was seeing it, but now they were--and watched as the shark bit the man, and swam past then came back around for more. We yelled to get out of the water, but we felt helpless. They finally did get out of the water, and helicopters were in the sky, and the man had only minor wounds.

We ended up back at the bus stop where we'd got on.
