July 8
*I am test driving a car… S is here, with two other people besides us. One gets into something like a dark (navy blue or black?) SUV… Nissan Exterra… and they drive away. The next person gets into something shorter, a station wagon of some kind, and they drive off. S has me drive a silver Volvo. It is being called a wagon, but it has no back doors but seats 7 adults… the doors are sliding doors. I said it’s a van of some kind, but they have a different name for it (like it’s a hybrid of a wagon and a van) The car is a little extra long… I’m both driving it and sitting behind the driver at the same time giving directions… we go around a curve at the end of the parking lot and it seems like the car isn’t going to make it around without hitting something, but surprisingly the car makes it around just fine.
*I’m in a building… it’s far out of town at a conference. I’m walking outside, it is sunny… there is a courtyard with a lot of flowers and low green bushes. Someone has said something about the bees… something (some noise, or smell from the building) has upset the bees and people need to get away from them. I’m walking calmly, though I’m allergic to bees, and drape a blanket over my head like a tent, walking with my head looking down at the ground, arms out to hold the blanket out. I’m wearing a woman’s power suit, walking in heels. I get into the building, trying to keep the bees from making it in through the large double doors (these do not look like regular bees, they look like wasps a bit) The whole thing reminds me of the X-Files movie. I get inside and walk to a central control room… there are some things that need to be moved around in here and that will help… a series of switches? I pull a T-shaped handle which is sharp on the top end… there are items here, I need to pierce them onto the handle and down the rope in a certain order. One is a gummy candy shaped like a rat, but they called it a raisin on the list of items. I string several items onto the string, then place them in their spots on the wall above me, lacing the rope between the items and placing the handle in the side of the box. There are switches to pull down now… and I see some kind of read out that says:
1880 PPL 15.51
*I’m with a couple of girls (hookers)… it is my first night working with them. The client is a greasy looking actor, he has a son who is also in the business. I sort of recognize who they are (I want to say Italian, or they make me think of mob movies) but I can’t place their names. One girl is ordered to go with the head guy… I think he looks disgusting, but she doesn’t seem to mind. Another girl is ordered to go with the son. I’m to stay here on the corner… seems like a street corner but it also seems like a courtyard at the same time… possibly the courtyard of a large house. JH (guy from jr. high) is here, he introduces me to a girl – actor’s sister? – I turn away because she is sort of filthy. The client pulls the chair I’m sitting in closer to him and tells me that was rude, she’s a very important woman in the family (regardless of how she looks) and I will have to apologize to her later if I want to keep this job. There is a bath tub out here, I’m supposed to take a bath in the courtyard, though I’m wearing some kind of costume, they expect me to be in the tub with the costume on. There is another girl here helping to get the bath ready, she is adding buckets of hot water to make sure the water that’s in there isn’t too cold for me.
*I’m staying in a hotel with S and O. We are in the lobby watching a presentation… it is a ride… like a haunted mansion theme. We sit in chairs in the lobby, then the floor opens up to a wooden staircase and we can take that down to another level which goes on with the ride. We are with a group of people, watching the presentation. When the floor opens up, O screams at the sudden change (though it’s just a demonstration of what is about to happen) When it’s our group’s turn to go I have to gather a lot of stuff out of the seats, when I turn back most of the group is gone, except for S and another girl (she has long black hair) we go through a hidden side door in the wall which brings us to the same area that the floor staircase does, to try and catch up with the group. We are now in a hidden hallway, which opens up at the end, but there is a line to get to the next section. I want to go back because I realize I’m not wearing any shoes, and I don’t think I should go through the tour barefoot. The other girl with us isn’t wearing any shoes either. An employee (tour guide?) finds us and directs us back to the lobby, explaining that our group has already moved on and we can’t catch up. The tour is about an hour in length, and we can meet up with them on the front lawn in an hour. We walk back to the lobby, and S wants to go sit in the hot tub until it’s time to meet back at the front lawn. I didn’t pack a bathing suit, I wasn’t even planning on being gone overnight at all, but he has a change of clothes and some extra boxers that he figures will be OK to wear in the hot tub. We walk outside… it is night time… we are walking down a sidewalk to get around to the hot tub. The walk is long, and I’m arguing that we don’t have enough time to hang out there and get back to the lawn to meet the group, I think we should go back.
