10/17/00 I have a big pill to swallow. Also some herb teas with big green leaves. A pile of garbage in the closet beside my bed. I tell a man to dig down in the garbage and there are butchered chickens, wet feathers, some partly cooked. Looks like the garbage dump outside Manila that collapsed in heavy rain. George Bush appears and says he's going to do the rest of his dirty Navy laundry and dumps out a duffle bag of very white T-shirts. I tell him to do my laundry too. After he leaves I gather up some books and put them in the duffle bag - two Bibles and an envelope of pictures - some with scenery and some of people. 10/19/00 Liz Taylor or Lisa Minnelli having a baby - in late pregnancy. Giant tree cut down. 10/20/00 I go inside a hollow tree. I'm dying and want to go there. I ask a man if he likes them and he says, no, they scare him. School kids taking a tour tell me there are stairs to the top of the tree on the inside. Milk cartons piled on the floors, dolls and doll dresses, a complete living room with couch, glass bookcases, sideboard and hutch. A committee is eating fudge and thinking about what will be a good investment as an antique of the future. 10/26/00 A new court system. 10/29/00 East coast making a boat. Live by themselves. Real wet in here after Thanksgiving. Holidays of hate crimes. No itinerants, no comedians. Floods do no damage. 11/5/00 Long time prisoners' shorts are wearing out. One is going to make a pair from two worn out pairs to go to court to stand up to some injustice. Looks through his clothes on hangers. 11/6/00 On the direction for developing pictures it says to tell if one bunch of kids or others have to be protected from another. A woman holding several kids at one end of a couch, another woman at the other end - a lot of space in between. People sleeping on the floor all over a big house. A woman murmurs about the water pressure. When she flushes the toilet, the water level in the coffee cups goes down. Man asking, do you shoot the small sharks first or the big ones. 11/7/00 Chinese duck soup. A time for passing. Put a hold on things from China. 11/8/00 What's the use if you can't remember. Bush victory meal. I think about what to make -- 20 pound bag of rice. People making plans to spend tax cut. Man calls customer service to complain about his death - pill hurt. They said it wouldn't; half brain blanked out. City in the air with long plastic tube hanging down. Rivers dammed up all over the Midwest. 11/9/00 I look through attics of old houses, hard to find door. Stuffed with furniture, pile of clothes of all the people that lived there. A voice tells me about a woman that got pregnant at 17 and hated her butt, wouldn't leave the hospital. 11/10/00 Working in archaeology. I think they have to put water in the deserts. There are mountains barely sticking out of the ocean also. Cold water. Very difficult sites to excavate. Deep water along coral reefs. Kids want to go to court to get their homework reduced (harmful.) Studying volcano maps, Pompei, others. 11/14/00 Chinese man in padded vest thinking about internet, downloading, dumping trash. Raining in Chicago. ************************4/2/01************************* > > 12/13/99 My parents get old and bald and are remarried after their > > respective spouses die, living at the old house again (my sister tore down > > the old house so this is impossible; Dad and Mom do both have spouses > > older than they are, but from longer lived families.

If this was fixed, I could sell stories and maybe quit my job. Long quotes, indented, instead of quotation marks. man says he puts everything in present tense. In your driveway, I control you. No one can understand my work so I have to do it. 10/8/00 I walk up to a heavy metal door. A man says he had to pull his shadow around in front of him, so I try it -- with my dress ties - like wrap dress or strait jacket. This will make enemies waiting see the shadow first and reveal themselves or think I'm going the other way. I'm on a stretcher going up the elevator, carried by some little girls. > 10/13/00 [When that homeowner (oriental man in his 50's or 60's) died of > a heart attack at a city council meeting while giving a speech about > something he didn't like that they were planning.

An elevator operator drops us off at the top, cap of the building, which is the first floor. Walk down stairs to the second floor. Bed where I have to keep a woman (Julia Roberts) away from the edge or boundary so that a man won't kiss her foot because she's not immortal. Bullets are flying. A little girl in a lace dress. A woman tells me to pick one of the queens or pages (Tarot) and go out in the other room where it will be even more difficult to protect the girl. the girl says, you forgot to watch me. Neighbors outside swimming in a muddy pond and water fall. Several girls look at Virgin Mary statues and I say she's the goddess of housewives, cleaning and grocery shopping. 10/19/00 We have to sacrifice, says 1000 things. you only learn about people in passing, must do more. It's a good thing you didn't try 100 times, you'd get a breach. Bull is sign of alcoholic woman. I decide to sell the car when I get out of it because it always disappears in dreams. Huge tree cut down. When I drop you, you don't live very long. We argue silently with actions. Don't burn, you can burn later. Burn down a helicopter.

People sleeping there, I pull out Christmas presents and Easter eggs. There's just one flash of color, bright yellow sunlight. All gray. I have to decide what to wear my last day alive. I'm in an underground room with bunkbeds. It's too late to lose weight. Faith is throwing out my windowbox of plants. Cause the whole place to close up and then just answer yes or no. 7/19/00 Meet an old woman and a little girl on a road, the girl gets five dolls -- she dresses one.

When I started here ten years ago the wiring was cold turkey. Funeral, man (corpse) brags that he only took ten hours to be buried, some kind of record, voice -- "it happened." Swimming pool on a ship is just a box around part of the ocean or great lake. Electricity went off and man was taking too long with computer so I started doing it.

New office from a clinic -- $300K per month for one thing, $400K for rent or franchise. Staff of women -- all pharmacy students, one music major gone. Dentist looks at my teeth and says an eyetooth will break out and new harder tooth come in. He snaps off both my eyeteeth at the same time, one with each hand -- is ambidextrous. I take them and examine them and one seems to have a cavity in it -- inside are dyed macaroni, flower designs on them.... 36 people disconnected by an Alaska looking cowboy, phoned the wrong number (523-).

Indian girls are riding two horse behind me. An elephant runs beside me back to the fence. A story about how they dug up the red sandstone -- they were hungry, covered with red dust. They are in the cow lot at Dad's, behind the gate. They slide down a steep hill in cake pans. Frilly toothpicks -- girls fix turkey and cheese cold cut sandwiches. A man gives a speech from Dad's hoglot, next door to the cowlot, about buying real estate -- he bought the room he's talking in, then his office, then a lake area. He's going to flee -- debts; needs his gun (asks if anyone has seen it). Elephant runs to the fence also, horses on the other side -- some get in, I pet it, ride horse.

Planning next life, college part only. A beautiful high rise on the ocean called Walden Towers -- very crowded with successful but distant people coming out the entrance doors.

Floor bends, I pull, hold it along the walls. Two stories up. At the bottom, I run out. Sandy lying on the ground in a movie of her life. She's been hit in the head -- make-up is still perfect. I run so fast one shoe falls off and someone throws it to me. They hope it isn't her allergies. I go to a shaman or ancient priest in a storefront. 7/28/00 Bede Sicking -- name on list.

Bird in the house, edges of carpet torn up to do something. Did you order some historic estimate? Hard candy in jar.

Semi-gout -- holding up under hardship. Employees on benches, no cubicles -- very crowded office. Lobby chair -- guards talking about little known facts of diseases in 1800's. Very hard work. Move people to Palos Verdes -- very crowded. Pants with lace cut-outs. Small lots means the town grows very slowly and by the time it extends very far it's a big city. 7/30/00 Someone banned from hospital -- wasting resources. Ibuprofen. Accompanying different sick people to the hospital. Man, looks like Bill Gates, tells me the change of tense from past to present grates on him. It this was fixed, I could sell stories and quit my job. Long quotes are also indented instead of quotation marks. One quote was Confucius. Man says he put everything in present tense.... In your driveway. I control you. ... A storm, raining downtown very hard. Boys fighting, walking on a greenbelt. I stop to buy something to eat, floating up RR Valley -- flood damage.

Someone says something about Tom and Sophia, that she'll be there soon. Tom Hanks has short haircut -- reading on couch in lobby. A condom in the ocean, swimmer fell off Titanic wearing condom. Tom Hanks. Says he's swimming in condom, too big. Could be too tight. Condom firms up erection. Five becomes seven. Shiny skillet like mirror. Nothing on my neck (chokes). It isn't too early. Gasp of pain, pulling bandage. [In 1980 at Sierra Rubber, Sophia had a heart attack and Chuck told me she died. Then I was working on the checks and she walked in -- she was wearing a burgundy polyester suit with red velvet collars that I'd bought at Good Will Industries in Iowa City. I was trying to remember how big the suit was and if it could really fit her that well. I talked to her loudly, started to say that they said she was dead, then changed it to how glad I was to see her -- Liz was reading something on her desk and didn't look up even when I called to her to say hi to Sophie. Then she said she was going to go say hi to Anne. Later, Victor came hurrying in and said, "they said you saw Sophie." I still don't know if it was a joke they played on me. The sound was different -- like a vacuum sort of when I tried to get Liz's attention. I'm not sure Sophie opened the door to get out into the hall where Anne's office was.] > 7/31/00 32, 34 email.

Rick C. comes by and says he might be retiring; also Mike--Mike wastes a lot of time; his restaurant makes a lot of money in Alhambra, or maybe won lotto. Another bill I forgot about--electric. Mom's house, she was going to cook a special breakfast, wedding for Shirley. In a community, rented oven is a fish and eggs or cheese dish and two pasta or vegetable dishes.

Carrying wet clothes on hangers, I tell a woman wearing tight knit to put them down on a bed. I'm waiting for the lotto numbers. A little boy has a water bottle, has a cold. Kids say no work for them, no carrying. A jar of green gumballs. I work for some group doing an investigation; someone lets air out of my tire. On a round disk; I have no clothes packed. Flimsy purple shirt I can wash at night and rewear. I drove 3000 miles already just to get here. Going through a house looking for an empty room to hide. A room with one man says, "here." Another man and I lie down beside him and pretend to be asleep, make snoring noises an sniffing. The man watching stands at the door for some time; then he takes some away. After some of the passengers take the tire to fix, I go back to house. Look in window, a couple in there. I ask to go in, the door is a board across a small hole at the bottom of the wall. It's a dream so I don't go in--realize it because the door is such a tiny hole. 9/19/00 Sorting laundry, becomes old newspapers. Coughing, choking, nausea. I don't fold laundry, just throw it in bins. New apartment on a baseball diamond and a riverbank. Dust storm or fog over work they're doing on baseball diamonds/playing fields.

My hair in mirror is very wild--long bangs across my eyes. 9/21/00 Pillows are outside along the fence of the apartment building. I ask why? Someone out there feeding rabbits. Those eggs are a shorter time of life for you. Personalization room; anticipation, team also. Men living in vans, have picnic tables under awnings. A strike organized in my sister's room--a pile of clothes to wear for day piled up to the ceiling. Reporters, no strike on food--didn't go back far enough. Shove you and sway you. 9/22/00 High risk investment with rich clients to try to get them to invest more; low risk with... Three women digging up their own graves to cover up their murder/suicide. Two are done; the third one is right beside the road. They get sidetracked and go to look at the foundation of a house that used to be there. One woman says, "that's where Scott died"--on the front steps or driveway. The bodies they pull up from the graves when they finally find them are skeletons, but still held together with tendons. I get distracted by a QA guy (electronics stuff) to remind her/me when something has to be done--she's got other work to do and was molested so she doesn't remember. A man has a camera hidden and tries to get a nude picture of his wife--or any picture; she's wearing a red dress. I'm looking at my twin, I think she should have a thinner face; she remarks on my appearance to someone--that I look good in a $2000 full-length thin cloak that I'm wearing (I'm one of the three women digging ourselves up--we're taking a break). I think about a woman that can read my mind. I walk through a park--plums growing on a small shrub; I pick several and give them to the women digging the graves. Then there's a sign that says, "Daisies." [pushing up daisies] and I stop digging (it is daylight now anyway and everyone can see us) and look over a cliff at the wooded, rocky landscape below. One woman says, "where did we bury you?" There are people arriving for breakfast at the restaurant that was built on the site. One woman finds some toys in the edge of the carpet (that prove she was there--some question about how they materialized in the new construction). You wrap it up and throw it in the water--tie belt around waist. People say twice to give back a pillow that belonged to a dead person--put it by the door. Pillow has a pretty picture on it--small one, square, shiny gold brocade fabric. 9/23/00 FBI agent says, "from the neck up." I have to watch a training film out on the floor at work, Margeaux walks with me--a Northrop woman in the parking lot asks me how I did on the accounting test. Long noodles with sugar dusting.

Library, I look at books about Hindu marriage--statues of elephant god. Little girl is upset because she sees three pigeon feathers and she ends up falling in a pool of water with a thin layer of dust on top that makes it look like solid land. A man on the shore goes in and lifts her out; I get a blanket--she's dressed in yellow. There are two of each of them and they are hugging, wet across the lake. An old book with paragraphs added to explain how it was bought/preserved--large white book with gold edge. I'm on a bus driven by a black woman; she speeds past the stops down a highway in mountains, maybe Denver. I ask if it's possible to get away; she's concentrating on some men, distinguished old men. I run through trees towards the highway several miles away; a boy catches up with me and will go back to tell where I am; I ask if I have to kill him too. I go right and there's a cliff to jump down-- pillows and blankets to break your fall; a woman works and lives down there. Out from there is a town of the future--I end up at the library. The town looks like a mall. "By different styles in cooking you can tell what era it is." Jews took over Germany after WW I -- problem because of a woman--shoot in head. Little girl says, "oh, Sheila" because of the three pigeon feathers--I tell her that's not an American superstition. There are a lot of feathers covering a long wet spot with standing water--rectangular like a grave. In a class, Tina (captain) sitting next to me. Driver wants off bus too, must find some records. I only give you credit for the time you give/get it--eating, cooking--pants will be too small (stretch); walking down a hall at a mall. Last time was on Sunday. Outside building at work, tall boy looks in trash barrel for something of mine for a souvenir. Girl says she's 20 and he's a teenager.

Northrop puts curtains around my cubicle and I notice I had rabbits I didn't know about; I give them water in a pan lid and pellets (green and yellow). They had raw hamburger, steak, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans. Grey and black go outside-- a lot of cats; black loses all hair on body, only has it on head. Voice says I'm banned from playing certain lottos (free ones). Slow down if you take buses; a year, you can't sleep too much. Crash straight ahead, it's really going blind.

Ininhibited, inhibited, no brains. 10/3/00 Margeaux singing Christmas songs in office on the other side of the room. People, 40's, changing. A woman standing with a man, tall and thin. He says she put a cat in the refrigerator and killed it. She says she took off its fur, gutted, cooked and served under wild dog. An old man's apartment or house, food on the table.

Glass box--lower people in underground. Don't second guess. You might be split off like a lot of other people did. When you get time pay attention to the box by Marty. 10/7/00 Kids at school throw out things that don't exist--pumpkins. Old posters with clever sayings, one of a man dressed in red stripes; man under bridge might want blowjob; old woman stuffs a rock in a man's mouth and butt, ties his butt in a sling because some posters of statistical charts aren't done. I try to figure out how to get out a window. Door is closed because of being painted; windows have blinds or louvers--very narrow gaps to get out--keep closing. First he killed me and my son. I travel around doing different things--art, music, museums. Highway 90 from Des Moines to Booneville--Indians selling big bottles of whiskey in diner windows. I figure out how to get off highway--a set of stairs with three parts. Running for office or traveling to sell something. I go through a lot of expensive clothes, hang them up; one set belongs to Dale Evans--a gray sweater. I am handing out forms to figure a new tax or retirement check (will be explained in staff meeting), also a poem or story. Printer runs at night, might jam. Binnie Campsmith is back (really retired). I am having a nervous breakdown, on my way to Seattle and it is only Saturday--I have to go back to work Monday or keep traveling to Seattle. Or I can buy some whiskey at the diner. Voice asks why I'm walking (30 miles from Des Moines -- which I enter very quickly from the meadow and copier at the office). In the distance a lot of teenaged boys are dying--shot in row along wall, firing squad. I plan to stay in here until death, then remember my responsibilities. A lot of beautiful clothes--silk, feathers, spandex, red. I try to remember my purpose for going on this journey. I decide to walk all the way to Dad's house--I have plenty of time (all weekend). Sitting on escalator steps, distinguished men pass me to get off. [Dale Evans died around then.] 10/8/00 I walk up to a heavy metal door and a man says he had to pull his shadow around in front of him; so I try it--with my dress ties. This will make enemies waiting see the shadow first and reveal themselves or think I'm going the other way. A little blond girl is hiding outside the door, I think she's going to say, "boo." She points at a group in the distance--our family. I'm covered with gingham cloth (green, white and another color checks); I'm cold, I'm on a stretcher going up on an elevator.

Blond says it's Jewish, peels the rock off the outside--it's a delivery of pioneer service such as Pony Express. Underneath is a pillow made of ribbons (like was a fad in Workbasket magazine, all my grandmothers made them), inside is hospital supplies. I go to another door; there's a book about singing groups. A popular women group had all had nose surgery at a young age. Voice asks if you ever have a nose made bigger? Pony tail, body temperature, we can't freeze the boys. Rolling Stones album, floating in the clouds, when I was with Jimi. Very rarely go for it, guess I'm not getting out; stub the toe on the concrete planter, frog, wearing tight levis and tank top, pony tail. Rebellion on birthday, March 28th. 200Y6 train. Y14 manual, history. 10/9/00 The invisible places; a bar. The raptor swooped down/the box camouphlaged as stars/little bits of nothing/in the night sky.

Two men, one has a job interview; little boy comes in and he gives him bags of color glass gravel. Frog in another aquarium, girl says it drinks water in Spanish--agua, acua. It's a glass frog with a piece of paper it's holding--words are also green, hard to read. A girl at the party starts doing work at one side--she has a pile of books, 8-10 with titles of women writers. A little girl comes up with a piece of paper and says someone else is a writer too. We lost badly to the pirates and now we have to start over again. A woman tries to brush my hair but it's too tangled. [Shirley always starts brushing your hair if you sit down.

Eating with a table full of women who are using Kleenex, so I go get napkins (package). Pass Salvation Army--dress like my shirt is on the ground, so I must be naked. I bring them back and a blond says her daughter couldn't tear one in half and hurt her nose. Another woman complains that the grass has grown--some is three feet long crabgrass. I feed the rabbits carrots, tops and an apple before that, bury the babies, can't even see them in the box. Someone mowed the pasture part way across; rabbits in the middle under a tree; poison on plant next to dandelion. 10/13/00 If it's not stuff you need, you have to let them go. Today you saw an example of two--affability and love/death. Various black cloth--linen, taffeta, chiffon or cotton--also one piece of pink cloth in Shirley's room. Green T-shirts of mine drying in the bathroom. I'm moving to a farm--thinking about farming, plowing, picking corn. Phone rings, third child; wouldn't you like to go shopping again. Braving, blaring, susceptible. Talent, resiliency. Poker hand, Ace and pair of 2s or 5s showing. Driving, Hawthorne Blvd, then Longfellow Blvd--two Chinese boys and a couple of shaved head men in their van; they're moving and someone buys their big-screen TVs with pullout stools and all they have is books, Trekki bracelets. They have a foldout bed not loaded yet. Around the corner is a party, I tell a redhead about it--black dress; an older woman has unbuttoned her dress. I go to class, math; the young instructor asks me about the ghost. I can't hear very well, my hearing seems worse and the students are rustling. I'm naked, put on my polka-dot dress and then it's white and buttons down the front. Woman helps me button it; moving taking self, TV, home. Now you can see--a person points at me. When are we getting... I don't know, it's not part of politics (call your congressman). Poster, real people prayers--prayers painted over in red (over black). When you sit up there and shop up there, when you die you don't care what they do (rich neighborhood). I wake up in the dream in the real apartment; the neighbor kids are taking a bath and have a foot of water on the floor but it doesn't run out when I open the door. Dale Evans is about to marry Roy Rogers; he says, "oh, boy" (a problem). Hairy chin, drool from mouth. In paint letters, "sob." (Devon). I move my wicker hamper of books, men cooking over small fires under an awning; perfect dialogue of a man at his peak. In 12 years, lightning will strike and change things. On a bus--oriental woman says a boat from the harbor was thrown up on the shore and damaged the door of an apartment on the first floor; she tells me to go tell the person--I start across a valley; a man is going the same way. The bridge ahead is under water, not deep, but the water is running fast; he's afraid to wade in and so am I. I turn around and the bridge behind is under deep water--up to my waist. I wade and might have to swim--might lose the bridge from under my feet. [Oriental man in Redondo Beach died of a heart attack while making a speech at a city council meeting.] 10/14/00 Someone restores the Datsun; a blond middle aged guy. I park across the street from my job in the dream--the hospital. Then I look for street cleaning signs and see it says, no parking any time--lot C is complete. Back seat is white fuzzy fabric. Other signs all over poles; one says job at library. I go in, another woman has come for an interview and asks if I have a beautifully arranged resume. The hall gets very narrow and jogs; I can't squeeze through. Woman sitting at a table; one woman asks a lot of questions--Mona. Another woman trains me or gives me pointers on writing a book; I'm reading a book for pointers on starting sentences so it's more interesting. I think about the sex parts--am on the toilet trying to shit and a man comes in and I knock poop off with my hand. 10/15/00 Richard Gere marrying Julia Roberts at nursing home--door. I'm going out and so are they; I think this is just a movie they were married in, wake up, then it starts over. Pee smell. Digging out through a tunnel in a dirt bank; this is wanting food. Raining, leaky roof. An elevator operator drops us off on the first floor of an old building after an old man (owner) says he'll recommend a room. The first floor is the top floor; I go down one flight of stairs to the second floor. This is a restaurant of black women and a fishing town. I'm on a bed where I have to keep a woman (Julia Roberts) away from the edge so a man can't kiss her foot because she's not immortal. Bullets are flying, there's a little girl, lace, white dress. An woman tells me to pick one of the four queens or pages and go out into another room where it'll be more difficult to protect the little girl. The old man you must ask says he's got a melting and is too busy. Another man at a sideboard says he'll direct me. He introduces the others in the room, Brad, Brad's wife and Gus. I don't think about the bullets much, just watching the girl. Letter from Shelley, just one line--it's raining so much here this year, when will it stop. Dream starts out saying the old buildings at factories are now very less crowded because of lay-offs--less people, tour guide. [A bankrupt king of some country got a job as a tour guide.] Quiet and peaceful and warm; the train is sitting in a muddy field; snow is gone; raining, very nice. The girl says, "you forgot to watch me." The neighbors are outside swimming in a lake that is losing water and getting muddy; has a waterfall. The door is open and they come in and ask if I want some Halloween decorations for the car. Several girls look at some Virgin Mary statues on a table and I say she's a housewife goddess of cleaning and grocery shopping.

Bernie has a new computer he says does the minimum--newspaper clippings. 10/17/00 Tourist money to teach nursing classes; walking along railroad tracks. A head or bust under water; proceeding along a track; some mistakes made; raining a little; dirt. People haul a huge bust have some wrong idea. Already gone, dear. I open a huge white pill and it turns into green stiff leaves--looks like spinach. Medical waste on the floor beside the bed (I wake up in the dream and am looking off the edge of the bed into the closet). A man digs down into the carpet and the garbage and there's a dead chicken under there--wet feathers, then several other chickens--some completely cooked and some half raw. Grandma talks about something in the kitchen; George Bush comes in and says he's going to do the rest of his dirty Navy laundry from his duffle bag and he dumps it out on the garbage beside the bed. It is very white T-shirts; he says he'll do my laundry too and puts it in my basket. I get up and put the dead chickens in a garbage bag but it turns into the olive duffle bag. There are a lot of books to throw away or take to a counter--two old Bibles, they might think they're for sale. An envelope of pictures, some people, some scenery. 10/18/00 A woman yelling at a little girl in a deep voice; girl whining. I go to Sierra Rubber--picnic under a tree with big roots in the bare dirt. 10/19/00 We have to sacrifice; says 1000 things. You only learn about people in passing; you must do more. Forget chemicals. It's a good thing you didn't try 100 times--you'd get a breach. Newborn, stuff sticking to him. Mom's kitchen, I remodeled the house, took out walls. When I'm done, kitchen has wood floor, white walls, no curtains, very beautiful. Then the sun sets and it's very hot, sun in eyes. I put up black sheer and white curtains and then dance around kitchen, no furniture. A dog in the yard, big German Shepard and a very old bowlegged curly dog people yell at. Re-writing dreams so they're like before when I was young. Bull is the sign of the alcoholic woman, blond says. Can't take out certain walls or you embroil the whole house. Many places, I'll fold it and put it in there. No one wants to dance with me; I'm sitting in a third chair next to a couple. Fat Jewish woman dressed in red, black net over naked torso, then fur coat comes into room, big boobs--she's in late pregnancy--Liz Taylor or Liza Minnelli. A huge tree cut down; I decide to sell the car when I get out of it because it disappears in dreams anyway. When I drop you, you don't live very long. We argue silently, with actions. Don't burn, you can burn later; burn down a helicopter. 117, I'm tired of this. You've given up your rugs. It goes up, I don't know how far, to a blank page. 1st choice up in the morning; 2nd choice computer--I'm trying, I'm trying. Just hang up and say, whoo, that's the lesson for me. If anybody would; why did you stop me. That's 40,45; picture of Barbie with paragraph underneath. Something different, grabbed my hand, said she was going to hide the stuff in her drawer (little girl). A hallway, under single 2, under 12. Deciding people's pay under that much of a bother. 10/20/00 A little bit of faith or an eyesore. Some woman shows me things while I'm out; I see things more clearly. Young couple getting married; gold car; doesn't seem to run very well; make it across the desert. Boy not happy with job; hours were forced on him and... Working--Shyami tells me the new supervisor at Palmdale's name is Albino and his middle name is Dead End; I call and Linda answers and says his name is Stone Henge. I go inside a hollow tree; I'm dying and want to go there. I ask Lito if he likes them and he says, no they scare him. I ask Daisy and she says there are stairs to the top of the tree and you can look out on each limb; her class at school is going there--a blond teacher and I go first. I was running with a man who could run fast (muscular) but after 3-4 steps my left leg freezes up. I rest a second, then can run 3-4 more steps; I'm out of shape, might need to run blocks (I have never liked running in real life, plus my shoes fall off). The middle of the tree is antiques. Inside the tree is antiques; there're dolls and dresses from the 20s; a cuckoo clock from 2000 (baby grandfather with weights). A nice living room with couch, glass bookcases, sideboard and hutch; no one in there. Everyone has gone to a long room where antiques are sold--paper milk cartons piled on the floor, empty cases. It's a committee to decide what to save; woman hands out fudge she calls lapper. Man also has potato salad, can't touch it; some people touch with noses; doll dresses.

I go down a different hallway and there are more at another intersection of halls. So I go up to the 2nd floor and look over a railing to scout the situation out. The ones on the 1st floor can even climb up on the furniture and beams and reach up to the ceiling and up where I am.

An alcove of Shelley, Gary--The Cross, the... and the... Each in separate books. A lot of people looking at these. Also a bookcase of an author I didn't recognize--Bidon maybe. There was a race to get to this house. Very long race, when you got to Stewarts you had to run for the last mile or so. The other Sheila is carrying me on her back. Going along an icy part, she pushes herself away from the edge (railing). Then there's a hill and I get off and she slides way up a hill and says I helped push her up.

New half circle of graves with flowers or flags in front of them and a woman planning fireworks. They'll cost a half million dollars and maybe bring in $3-4M, she says.

The supervisors are working to screw the boards over the windows. The man directing them tells them to bring all their nails--even if bent. I go to a meeting at a round table and tell people they aren't trying and that is why they aren't making any progress resolving their differences; the meeting is very short. Then I decide to walk home down El Segundo (from Space Division where I work in the dream or the meeting is located); there won't be any TV during the disaster and people will be forced to read. They also need warm blankets, dry clothes. I have a sunburned spot where I can write messages (skin turns white when you press on it)-- vacate, locate...

The daughter says she's leaving (or mother) for a new life. I tell her she can go for a visit or a year but must come back. Blue leather. She has a terrible temper and looks down my blouse and says I'm fat and burns me with a match head. People living a long time are very strong, no disease. She'll live forever, is a boss.

Grocery store, I park along the street to do some work on car--must bake cookies in car. I buy the ingredients, as well as some lettuce. The first bag is less than a dollar. The clerk is a young girl. She says her husband was laid off or fired. They've been married a year. I left this here a week and now... seems worried to see the coincidence. The guard leaves the 2 doors of the Federal Building open--can see ahead if there's trouble, inside or outside. No one put that there for you to see; you're losing money/weight. Porter or poorer. 3/7/00 I eat lunch along a street--put rice into an empty line/space in my bowl. Rice or pudding. A man with a scarf around his head eats later--some girl's boyfriend may recognize him, someone driving past. He eats slowly. A machine that tests art. I pour some from a white bag--looks like Mom's "Hungarian Goulash". A man says another one should have told me the computer is biased for a certain period--Iron Age. A picture shows a river and troops wading, WWII I guess, or another war. There's another war downstream. A woman artist is working in another room--young. Take a box a long distance; another door. Trying not to go through that again. Those things are a thin handshake; pocket psychiatrist.
3/8/00 A woman with big boobs says to hang your head over the edge of the bed. Another woman in latex. A little boy in a rich house; I shut one door before he can get into something. Then he's a teenager with a girl. Smother woman with pillow, like dead mouse. A man takes 3 relatives home; they have something wrong with them. This is from a courtroom--ran out of money gambling on some action--written on a label. Could have gone in order, took longer (holding them). I take two baths. I'm wearing a girdle and white tights. A woman with a very small waist gets twins (2 ages) out of a cubby hole; the babies teach each other while they're sleeping. She made me hold her. |
