Fragments from Dream 2:

I am in my old room in the house I grew up in. It is quite bright. I am trying to get my costume just right for a belly dance. I have on a black jumpsuit with elastic at the wrists and ankles. The sleeves and legs are a bit puffy. I am trying to get my headgear on just right - a headband and a turban of some kind over that. I just keep messing it up and it looks awful.

There is an older woman here. She yells at me about my headgear. "Try again!" she yells. Finally, after many tries, she says, " That's it! Take your clothes off and follow me." I protest. She tells me to strip all the way down, except for my shoes. My shoes are some frilly white things, complete with frilly socks to go with them. I leave on a skin colored...thing...(it covers me from neck to knees and it is something women used to where in Victorian times.) and I hope she doesn't notice.

Next, I am in the truck and I have Kitt and 3 or 4 of the other cats with me. They try to run out when I open the door but I manage to catch them. I am still in my whatever-it-is. I stop at the bridge that is in the curve of the road, about a mile from my old house. There is a cat in the road that has been run over and I think it is on of mine. I call it 'C.C.' I look and it looks more like Aullie but I know that it can't be..but it is.

There is a guy here clipping weeds. I break down some pokeweed that is blocking my line of sight and he asks me if I am looking for (some kind of plant...I can't remember what it was.) The bridge now has a little room off to the side of it filled with plants. I say no but ask if he has 'Ripley Believe It or Not Weed' and he laughs. I've gotten the name wrong. It's named after one of those shows like that, I know. I look around and find a table filled with many, many cacti. There are some huge ones here. I find a euphorbia that I really like but the price tag says $21. I tell the guy that the price is entirely too high.
