"I killed a black cat with very yellow eyes - with my hand - suffocating . That cat hated me and was always finding a way to hurt me or attack me. So I grabbed him by the throat and choked him . Slowly and powerfully. Until he was solid. And it felt so right . Then I was in a cat adoption centre. To get a cat , to save…. But then found myself in a large room near the window , and everyone on the outside of the room was worried for me, and I had worry inside… as there was this figure, I think feminine, approaching me slowly. I had a little panic inside, slightly, but decided to stay. Turned and looked at her. As she approached I saw she was a woman. And she was significantl. She said, I am surprised you did not run. I looked at her and felt so much sadness and said, actually what I felt was to hug her. Then I did. And I just started crying in this whole big sadness. I cannot remember what was after… "

"i’m in a convenience store that i don’t recognize with a gas station out front. There is a guy who i don’t recognize and we’re talking. He tells me that he is going to new york to visit his parents. i have a shopping cart full things. We walk out together chatting and stop outside the convenience store door. I ask him if he needs to use the shopping cart and he looks at the shopping cart almost confused or without expression, and I say “you’re going East, right?” He looks at my shopping cart and then at me. Our eyes lock in a moment and he super cute- not conventionally handsome but i’m very attracted to him but in a safe and unusual way, like an instant crush. We have an instant connection. Something between us is unspoken and he never answers the question. Then I wake up. I’ve never seen this person before. He doesn’t look like anyone i know or have seen anywhere, But there is something so adorable about him and instant chemistry or connection (at least for me — i don’t knkw what he was thinking) I woke up thinking who is that guy? I have to find him. "

"I was at my ex-wife's house, and she was wanting me to stay there even though we'd been divorced for quite a while. She also kept saying she was mad at me and couldn't help it. I went to the bathroom and looked into the mirror, but I didn't have a face. Then I would just have like these tiny eyes, but I still would have no face again. So my face just kept coming and going, but mostly just not being there. It was just like a flushed face with no features. When I came out, I tried to find paper to write down the dream, the dream with my face in the mirror, but I couldn't find any that wasn't written on or was just like a picture of some sort. It didn't seem right to write on the pictures of her and her new friends, even though she said I could. So I kept looking, and I finally found some paper to write down the dream, but then the paper got wet because I set it in a puddle, and it couldn't be written on. Eventually, I found a box with my old underwear and some other things in it, and it also had some paper. I was able to write down the dream, and I wrote down the dream of my face not being there in how I looked in the mirror."
