Bras

I'm with my mother. She's carrying a department store bag. She says, "I bought some bras, they were on sale -- do you like these bras?" They're really fancy, lacy push-up bras, in all different colors. Not my mother's style at all. I try one on. It looks nice, so she gives it to me. She says, "Why don't you eat something? Eat something." On the floor, there are plates of food. Scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon -- breakfast foods. "Eat," she says. (top)

An Orchestra

I'm in an orchestra on a large ship. The orchestra I'm in is below decks -- there is a higher class orchestra on deck. I look at the music they gave us and it's a children's version of "Silent Night". The ship moves from port to port. We're only allowed to play when the ship is still. When it's stopped at a port, we're supposed to play, but as soon as we start to play, the ship starts moving. I look out on deck and the other orchestra is all young women. One has an elaborate hairdo that I can't stop staring at. It has different colored fabrics in it. (top)

Dormitory

G--- and I are living in a dormitory filled with women and children. I go to sleep in another room and this angers him. He says he's going to kill me. I'm in this room with some lesbians. I go to find him. He's not in his room. There's a woman there with four babies. She starts lecturing me. I argue with her. I say, "I'm from North Philly, I don't have to take shit from you." G--- finally appears. We are still angry with one another. (top)

Fake Fur

I'm in a store trying on fake fur coats. There are women and children all around me, sleeping on benches. I try on a blue fake fur over one that I'm already wearing. I think it makes me look like the Cookie Monster. I bring it back to the rack and someone has put all the coats into a big case -- they are going to steal them. I try to get a manager to warn them. (top)

Running

I'm in an apartment with a group of people. One of them has just committed a robbery. The police are coming. We all put on halloween masks. Mine is a black face with a long chin and long hair. I go down some back stairs and get away just as the police drive up. I'm running down the street. It's the street I grew up on. I'm terrified, and my running is weak. I can't get up enough speed. I run into a dark backyard, around it, and out of it, trying to pick up speed. As I run into another backyard, an automatic light comes on. I run out to the front. There are two gigantic grave markers in this front yard. It's the parents of the people who live there. The markers are made of black marble, ornately engraved. I keep running, trying not to run over the graves. I still have the mask on. A group of menacing teenage boys in a blue car drive slowly alongside me. The car is a Dodge Charger, blue, with a white stripe. It has no muffler, and is making a racket. They want to hurt me. They pull over, and I run into a dense, dark backyard. I jump the back fence, still running from the scary guys. I'm now in a military barracks area, with no trees, just cheap aluminum-sided houses. It's very bright and exposed. A little boy is out there. His mother is calling him. She says, "Let's go, little Colonel!" I'm still running. (top)

Roseanne Barr

I'm in a swimming pool with Roseanne Barr. I ask her about her show. She says, "It's been cancelled." I feel stupid that I didn't know this. (top)

The Leak

I'm in my childhood bedroom. It's pouring rain outside. I notice the ceiling is sagging near the window. I poke my finger into it, and easily punch a hole in it. It's as weak as wet paper. Water comes pouring into the room. I need to tell my father, but I can't find him. (top)

Empty Rooms

I go to my studio. It's completely cleaned out and empty. G--- did it for me. I'm glad that he cleaned it out, but I'm angry that he did it behind my back, and he took my favorite shelves out. But I can't say anything because he did it as a favor to me. I go home, and the house is the same way. G--- cleaned all the rooms, but some things that I want are missing. (top)

The Trip

I'm going on a trip. I'm meeting my friend N------ in another city and we're going to see a band. I walk down the street I grew up on to the airport, which is in the house of I----, a childhood friend. The person in front of me has no ID, but they let her pass. Then I remember that I don't have any ID, cash, credit cards, or even luggage. The woman at the front desk asks for my ID. The room we're in is very shabby, poorly lit, and with secondhand furniture. I think this is strange for an airport. I beg her to let me on the plane. The plane leaves in a half hour, and I think maybe I should go home, get my stuff, and come back, but there's probably not enough time. After some thought, the woman lets me up the stairs to the airport. Now I am panicked. A man asks what city I'm going to and I can't remember. I check my ticket and it says Washington, then Oregon. They want to know what hotel I'm staying in. I haven't booked a hotel. I worry about what I'm going to do when I get there. I'm too afraid to go. I leave the airport. I go down into an elaborate old subway system. I'm now naked, but this doesn't bother me. There are a few other people around. We are all confused and looking for the right track. An orange train approaches. It's at another track. I realize that this is my train, and I rush to get to the right track. Suddenly, I realize I'm naked, and I'm mortified. (top)

The Party

I'm at this big outdoor party. I'm all alone, and no one is talking to me. I'm in charge of the babies at the party. Jerry Seinfeld is there -- he lives down the street. I walk down to his house and his mailbox has fallen off the front of his building. It's stuffed with mail. It's got a tacky clock with a wedding picture in it -- a gift from his cousins who just got married. There are also packs of address labels with fake names, in different countries. One is in Spain. I realize he is going undercover. He walks up and sees me going through his mail. We go inside. He's annoyed with me. I try to cry to make him feel sorry for me. (top)

The Subway

I have to take the subway to A---'s house. He moved. He tells me "Get off at Virgo." It's a new subway train, but while I'm sitting on it, a door falls off. I then realize I don't really know where the stop is, and I don't know where the house is. (top)

A Happy Skater

I'm on a big bus. J--- skates over to the bus on roller blades. He is thrilled that he's skating. He's wearing a tuxedo with a long white opera scarf. He skates over the my window and waves, clearly thrilled. (top)

Goth Party

I'm on a ship and there's this big party. It's Friday the 13th and everyone's dressed in Goth attire for the occasion. (top)

Mean Architects

I'm in an architecture studio. I'm doing some sort of work for them. Everyone working there looks really chic and cool, and I feel out of place. They're giving me directions to a restaurant to meet them and I don't understand the directions. They're rolling their eyes at each other about me. Everyone is dressed really trendy, expensive looking clothes. My old boss is there. A girl comes in, carrying her bike, and she invites everyone but me out for a drink. It really makes me feel bad.
