DREAM: Inside a strange apartment building. Emily is past out on the floor with blankets and pillows. I walk into another room. A mother comes in with her son asking for recommendations on what music her son can check out as if this was a library. I pull out a Yo La Tengo CD. Looking at the boy; it seems there’s something wrong with him, maybe he’s retarded. “How old is your son, mam?” She answers me but I forget quickly and keep pulling out CD’s for them. Switch to a scene where I’m running down the hallway – stopping at the window overlooking a beach. Two girls from Indonesia standing there, waving to me. One of them is Hani and the other, a friend of hers. Brandon Hyatt is standing next to me near the window. “Let’s go to the beach! Don’t you want to go boogie boarding?” He responds enthusiastically. Somebody else is there and I’m trying to explain to them the type of board you use to surf underwater with.

Getting out of bed at 1:56 p.m.

Me: “Emily’s always doing something in my dreams lately.”

Margot: “Dream about me more.”
