I am at Becky’s house. We are having something to eat and drink. We are friendly with each other. I color in a small drawing with colored pencils. Becky lends me some pencils. The picture is for her.

Later, I go to the bathroom. I sit on a toilet in “the new room” at Shady Oak. It is morning. I see my Aunt Na and Becky/Jill arrive with breakfast rolls. They are on the deck. (in waking life there are no stairs to get on the deck and would have had to come in through the house). I am surprised they are there. I get up from the toilet and ask Na where they are going. She says a name of a shop I have never heard of before.

I dream I am pregnant and worry I won’t be able to handle a newborn when I am 74 years old!

I am with a woman interviewer. I take notes, but do not ask any questions. We are outside and sit on a curb on a neighborhood street. The woman is in her 40’s and has a little, grey beard growing from her chin. Her 2-3 kids are around. The woman doesn’t follow the usual protocol. She talks about how her kids brush their teeth. She has them do it her way.

Later, I am upstairs in her house. I pass a bedroom. Her husband? is there. He is trying to control a huge bear by leading it with a blue handkerchief tied around its neck. I go into the next bedroom where two of the girls are. I tell them about the bear.

The bear comes into the bedroom the girls and I are in. The father says to get low implying the bear won’t attack then. I sit down. The bear is behind me. He has his snout at my neck. I breathe deeply, staying calm. The father puts the handkerchief around the bear’s neck and leads him out of the room.

Feelings: curious about the woman, nervous, scared about the bear, calm when the father leads the bear away.
