Dream Journal

Context: We'd graduated from Oberlin a month ago and were living in Berkeley at the time.

Everyone was returning to Blaine House. Joshua arrived with breasts! Twice I tried questioning him on it and he got so far as “This friend of mine ate soooo many brownies!” I was moving out of there. It was sunny and it seemed like the garage and above portions had become a four-story dorm and library, like the better dream schools. I was moving out, though, because I was graduating.

My computer was on the front walkway on a desk and Rox appeared while I was talking to Joshua. I was mad. She arrived too early and messed everything up. Then I felt like some fire was going to consume my room. I was freaking out trying to rescue everything. At one point I told Rox to go enjoy the entertainment in the field out back — a group of people and a stage. At another time I cursed her for not helping me carry stuff to the car.

Once, earlier, I climbed up onto the roof and was on the fourth floor instead of the third and these people were shooting a dumb movie. My usual mode of entry to my room was to get on the roof and then climb down through the window.
