This was one of those epic dreams. I'm in Saudi Arabia and I meet this young girl who falls madly in love with me. She's part of the royal family. She wants to learn how to play baseball, and I show her how to hold the ball and how to pitch. Over the years we correspond and keep in touch. She's not allowed to tell anyone she's in love with me or we'll both be killed. At one point, I unravel a bunch of manuscripts she's sent me. They're written in Arabic and they're love poems. The script is beautiful and it includes English translations. Then it's later on in life and even though I'm married and have kids, we still have a bond. We're sitting at a table for some sort of banquet, and we have a stealth conversation about how, even though we're still in love, we can't mention in publicly. 

I arrive at a kitchen where several women are assembling fruit salads. I pick up a blue and white bottle of dressing and ask about it. It's Scotch and we wonder if it would be a good dressing with pineapple. Then I notice Jeff is there and he has a bowl of grapes. I touch them and a couple stick to my finger. We laugh at how weird that is.

We're in St. Pete Florida visiting the Dupuis--friends of Bess's. We're going to do a day sail down to Key West and back. Several of us have to drag the boat to the dock. At one point there's a big hill we have to drag the boat up and I look around for a path that's level. I get sidetracked with something else and miss them taking off.

This was a series of dreams where I was freelancing at various ad agencies. I get an assignment where the account folks are really vague about the direction. I figure out that they want a couple of retail radio spots. Then I'm at a new agency. It's a big open area with a ton of desks and is super crowded. It's extremely loud. I run into a couple of young guys who look vaguely familiar. They're working at a startup agency and I give them some business cards to pass along to their boss. I wonder if I should send him a couple bottles of wine to butter him up.

I'm driving down Van Dyke and I tell some young kid not to go into packaging design. I'm looking for some excellent donut shop. I get to this strip mall and it's next door to a coney island restaurant. I go to the back door and it's closed and the baker is leaving. I ask if I can still buy some of the famous donuts. There are only three left and they look like giant chocolate chip cookies. Right next to them are these triangle shaped Mexican pastries that look fantastic.

Bob Packlaian visits us and he drags all kinds of mud and drips water throughout the house. I grab a mop and a bucket and start wiping it all up.

I'm having lunch with a bunch of people in a restaurant. Mr. Dickenson is at the head of the table and is collecting money for the meal. I have a bunch of bills and give him $5. I notice a stack of essays in front of him. I look and see that one of the women wrote about Anne, a horrid Art Director I worked with at Campbell-Ewald. In the tie I noticed the word "Sodomy". As we leave I try to walk next to this woman and try to engage her in a conversation about her experiences with Anne. 

I'm driving Margo to her car on the WSU campus. I open up a can of sardines and the two of us eat them right out of the can. When we get to the parking lot. a bunch of her friends are waiting for her.

I'm hanging around Pounder and we're doing fake Russian accents. The two of us are laughing so hard we're crying. 

It feels like there's a har in my mouth. So I get some scissors to cut a hair that's sticking straight out of my tongue. I look in the mirror and open up my mouth. There's a whole bunch of sod growing in my mouth!
