In my dream we get back and have to carry two huge taffeta gowns back to the recesses of the apartment which turns out to be under the control of an eastern European gangster. Entering his territory is tense and turns into a standoff where I am jabbing the handle of a paintbrush into his back, pretending it’s a gun. Luckily he finds this funny and lets us through.

In my dream rain begins to fall outside of the restaurant at the top of the hill. We’re lined up at the door, students and teachers, joking about the trip. A student is explaining that she needs to get a band together for her project. The dark clouds boil outside.
