Last night's dream: I don't remember much but I do remember there was a clown, a pair of dice, a harmonium, I was wearing a corset and carrying a gun in one hand and a egg in the other and I was being followed by all the townspeople.

Last night's dream...I was walking the cats, Rumi and Tilc, on little leashes. Rumi kept turning to Tilc and saying, "Let's do the monkey walk...like on the Monkee's show...come on!" and Tilc would look away from her as if to say, "Dream on Sister...this boy don't do no monkey..." This went on for several minutes Rumi getting more insistent and Tilc ignoring her. It was sunset and the sky in Arizona was pink and blue and grey and just lovely. I saw something glittering in the road ahead and stopped to pick it up. It was a key. There was tape on the key and some words I couldn't make out. Then suddenly it was dark and the sky was filled to bursting with stars. Rumi and Tilc had vanished. I stood alone on the road. The wind picked up and I shivered. "Time to head for home." I thought and turned around to head back but suddenly realized I had no idea where I was. "I'm up high..." I thought, "I need to walk down..." and headed down the street towards a street light that seemed miles away. I began to hum the tune from THE SOUND OF MUSIC...the CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN song. then I suddenly burst out the words and as I looked down I saw that I was in nun attire. I looked around expecting to see Julie Andrews or the kids or someone from the movie but I was alone in the world. I realized that from my belt hung a magnifying glass and that I still had the key clutched in my hand. I held up the key and the magnifying glass and tried to make out the words but it was too dark. Suddenly there was a falling star and I quickly held up the key and the glass and read, "Key to your future...don't lose it." Then a big black bird swooped down and knocked the key from my hand...it rolled and clinked end over end and fell down a metal covered drain where I heard it bounce and knock against the sides of the drain until it landed with a gently "clink" a long ways away. The bird swooped back down and landed a few feet away from me. "Don't worry" she said, "There's always a plan B."

Last night's dream...I was walking through a grocery store looking for cake mix. Every aisle I went down had vegetables in some form...one aisle had canned, one had frozen, one had fresh, one had just pictures of vegetables that you could buy. I stopped a young pimply faced boy who was wearing a shirt with the grocery store name emblazoned across the back and a name tag. "Young man, I said, Where is the cake mix?" He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "I don't work here lady." I went to the front of the store where there was a convenient store map...I looked at it for a long time but it kept blinking and changing. The text on the map would shift really quickly. At one point I thought I saw CAKE MIX up in the left corner but by the time I shifted my eyes to that point in space it said SPINACH. I was getting very scared because I could not find the cake mix. I looked down and someone had loaded my cart with bell peppers, carrots, lettuce, bok choy, corn, squash, and tomatoes. I looked at the cart and something dawned on me, "Tomatoes are NOT a vegetable!" I shouted. "They are a fruit! HA HA!" I exclaimed. The other shoppers glanced over at me and then quickly glanced away. The cart sat there laden with vegetables. I looked down and realized I had a magic wand in my left hand. I had on a little fairy costume with diaphanous wings and a small frilly skirt. I waved the wand. Nothing happened. I waved it again. Still nothing. I pointed it at the cart and waved it. Nothing. I pointed it at a little old lady and her shopping cart. Nothing. "Stupid wand." I muttered. "It's just a prop. It's not real." said a voice. I looked around then I looked down at the cart. One of the red bell peppers had a mouth with red lips and big white teeth. "It's just a prop. A fake wand. You're not really a fairy." The pepper explained patiently. I leaned down close and whispered to the Pepper, "Where is the cake mix?"
