Saturday, October 11th, 2003

I’m in a large cavernous (Amoeba-esque) place where I work. I run a computer station that people can rent by the hour. Two young men sit down at the computer. I ask them if they’re just going to surf the Internet. They say yes and I inform them it’s $2 per 15 minutes. They start looking at soft porn or something. I sit near them to keep track of the time. Two minutes later, they finish and start walking off. I tell them it’s $2, explaining that anything less than 15 minutes is considered 15 minutes. They obvious don’t plan to pay and start trying to con their way out. A few other colleagues of mine appear and we make one of them die or disappear (this is unclear). We give the other guy a stern warning and ban him from the store. He goes down the freight elevator to the ground floor. I push the button for the other freight elevator to follow him down and make sure he leaves. As the elevator arrives from a higher floor, I see an injured man on a table. I turn to a coworker and ask if he’s one of us. Someone nods saying he’s (some name I didn’t catch – might have been the name of a Sopranos character). I rush over with a few others to help him. He’s badly injured and unconscious. There’s a chainsaw running next to him, grazing dangerously close to him. Someone moves it away. We tend to him and try to calm him.

Later…

I’m in a large movie theater looking for a bathroom. I go to the balcony section and find a backstage bathroom. There is a huge line inside. Most of the people waiting are costumed performers. I make my way out of the theater.

Outside is a carnival. Some kids are shooting rubber tipped arrows at a target. One kid shoots at me and I admonish him. I walk through the fairgrounds into a fenced-in field where some other kids are playing football. I pick up one of the balls (which looks more like a large olive). I joke to the kids, “Hey, I’ve got an olive!” The kids (Jennifer Milich’s boys Max & Carlyle among them) laugh.

I begin running through the fields at a superhuman speed. I keep looking back at a police car (50s-era model) to see if I can keep ahead of it. I run through some rolling fields and into bodies of water. I run over the water, my feet getting a little wet.

I slow down to normal speed on a country road. I’m watching as Jeff Bridges and Cybil Shepard walk towards an old house. She’s bringing him home to meet the parents. I’m now Jeff as we walk by a parked car. It drives off as we pass it. I see Dennis Hopper in the driver’s seat. I think it’s her dad. We walk into the house from the side through a screen door.
