I am in a store that looks like Albertson's, and I am with Maria and Rose. They get into line right away because they are buying some bread and Ritz crackers that are on sale for a really good price and they want to get it before the sale ends. I am looking at this box of Ritz that are a ways off from the cash register, and the box has been opened. One of the packages of crackers has come out slightly, and it's opened, and some crumbs are falling out of it. I'm a classroom with kids of all different ages, and I'm doing my work when I see the teacher, who is this youngish blond woman, call up this little boy. She gives him a knife and tell him that he has to kill Mark, who is also in the class. I am the only one who sees this, and I'm sitting there trying to figure out what to do. We are taking a french test and I realize I have 20 more pages to do and there's only half an hour left. The teacher comes and tells the boy "Remember to get batteries for that." I end up telling someone about what the teacher did, and I am suddenly at home and Elizabeth Taylor tells me that either she is going to kill all of my friends, or she'll just kill me. I start crying but I decide to let her kill me, so we get into this little gray-blue car. I sit in the back, Elizabeth Taylor drives, and my mom is in the passenger seat. We're driving along these streets with all of these people, and I mouth to them "Help me! Help me!" They look at me and know what I'm saying but they can't do anything. We wind up back at home, and everyone is laughing because of the "joke" they have played on me. I am embarrassed but trying to joke around with them, and I tell Elizabeth Taylor, "You know, you were pretty mean to me," and she gives me such a weird, angry look that I am still afraid of her.

My french class is running this outdoors sandwich shop. It is the afternoon, and very warm, and the sky is blue with a few clouds. We are all wearing regular clothes with these weird aprons over them, and these weird white little hats. Mine keeps falling into my eyes so it's hard to see. All of the sandwiches are salami with jack cheese on french bread, and if we don't sell a sandwich right away, we have to either throw it away or eat it ourselves. I start arguing with a girl about that. All of a sudden I am in my grandparents house, and the sky outside is a dark blue. I am with Mark and we are arguing about something, when all of a sudden the town siren goes off. My dad is there and tells us we have to close all the doors and windows but I have to run outside first and get my purse. When I get back in, they close the doors, even though there is an older woman outside who is pounding to be let in. No one will let her and I run off crying. Maria, Dana, Mark, John and I are hanging out. Maria and I get into some argument with John and Mark and we all start fighting, so Maria and I manage to get John to the ground and we are kicking him over and over. Mark finally breaks it up. Then Mark and I are by ourselves and I'm trying to talk to him about how our friendship is going, and he doesn't really want to talk, and I get all upset and start yelling and crying. I am sitting in the computer chair, and my grandma is sitting on the couch. She has the container with the white chocolates that she brought over yesterday, and she is scarfing them down, laughing, saying "Oh, you're not going to eat them," and I try to convince her that I will, but she keeps on eating them anyway.

I am back in high school, and Maria and Dana and I are hanging out together. In the dream, it's lunchtime and we're whining about how the day has been going so slow. So we decide to cut the rest of the day right after we use the bathroom. We go to this bathroom on the e-side, and there is a long row of at least 10 or 15 toilets, and all of the doors are really short so you can see the person who is using them. Dana and I see our french teacher and we kind of whisper to each other, "Man, we can't cut now." Many of the toilets are taken by other teachers. Our french teacher starts talking to me about how some bean salad I had made was really good, and she wanted the recipe. Dana, Maria and I all go to use these toilets, and on the inside of the doors they have these weird little TV screens that show outside views of the school. Even though it was daytime when we went into the bathroom, the TV is showing things that happen at night. The school is all scary looking and there are all these little fires all over the place, and people running around. The pictures are in black and white, too. After we are done using the bathroom my biology teacher from last semester comes along to clean the toilets because he's a janitor or something. There is some kind of party going on in my backyard, and there's lots of people from school there. There is one girl who goes into the shed by herself and starts to sing, and her voice is really loud throughout the whole place because there is some kind of stereo system. Victoria comes along and is saying how she should be the one singing. I go to see Maria, because she is sitting on the ground by the outside of my room, and she is giving all these people advice on relationships and things. I see Mark hanging around with these two guys, and they are about to leave. I start talking to him and I ask, "You know, I called you twice this week, and you never called me back. Are you working tonight?" And he says "Yes," and so I go "Oh, well. Anyway, I really have to talk to you, so call me next week or something." And he looks kind of confused but he says okay.
