Dream Journal

I’m in this big department store and finally get really fed up at the bad service. The person I’m dealing with is an old meanie. One by one all the customers let him know what a mean bastard he is. Then I take my turn. With each customer he starts listening and then gets all mad and stops listening. I wanted someone to throw something at him, and someone throws a clear sleeping bag at him (a thought form!). I tell him he’s the worst. He stops listening and storms away. I follow him and he is pinching me in an evil witchy kind of way. I tell everyone to rip out all the phones so he can’t call for help, and they do. Then I start a riot, and we all commence to trash the store.

I must have lost the train of thought because I find a drawer I want to buy. There are cashiers working, so I go to pay for it. I buy it and go outside. A guy walks by with 3 Garfield statues and says “Did you see the free Garfield stuff?” I go back inside, find two fierce stylized Garfield statues, and take them. I find I have written plans for the riot and decide to destroy them because I don’t want to be caught. In one version of the dream I burn them. In another, I throw them away in “another store” (which is the same store after a blank-out of forgetting). I get back to my car but find that the drawer is rotted and the Garfields are shrunken and falling apart like trash. Now this becomes the main storyline as I go back to the store looking for replacements.
