I'm in my backyard, but it is a kind of small forest. It looks like fall. I have another dog besides Bo, a cute little wiener dog. We're walking when all of these sprinklers go on, so we start running. He's also running because he doesn't want Bo to see him. He gets all wet so I tell him that when we get to the laundry room I'll dry him off. I get inside and start looking around for a towel to dry him off with, but by the time I do, he's disappeared. The laundry room is a huge mess, with clothes all over the place.

I'm on this weird beach with some girl. The beach is small, and there are a bunch of weird, wooden shacks all around. We are the only two people there. Sometimes we laugh and run around and even kiss but the other half of the time she's trying to kill me. She has this huge white bucket that she fills up with water, makes me kneel on the ground and pours it in my mouth. I'm watching "Psycho" except in it, Norman Bates is in a little boy. He and some blond boy are in a bathroom and Norman has one of those weird big old-fashioned razors that he uses to cut the other boy with, mostly on the arms, so there's this blood all over. The blond boy manages to run off and hide in a bedroom. I'm in the living room watching TV with my family and Austin Powers 2 is about to be on. Then I am at the computer and talking with ?Rose? when Chasing Amy comes on, and I start singing along to the one part in the club. I'm at school and it's totally deserted, and I'm out in the front taking a shower. I'm walking around and then all of these people show up, so I rush around trying to find the girls locker room (I don't even have a towel). I can't find it so I start looking for the boys' one and I do, but I don't want to go in. I'm in some art class in the college, and we are meeting in my parents' bedroom. Our assignments are to make collages and I've done two of them. I don't want my teacher to think I worked too quickly so I mess up one on purpose to take more time. In my backyard, there is some kind of reunion going on for a reality TV show (?) that I was in. I'm sitting at the table with some of the other people, and a news reporter who is asking me a question and I say something about how people don't recognize me in public, and other randomness. Some people jump in the pool and start splashing everything. I start to run away from the water and instead start to chase this adorable wiener dog around the yard. My backyard is very big and there is a cop car parked there. There are two officers inside but they don't do anything, not even look around.

I am going through the drawers of the nightstand, but it is much larger and has more drawers. The bottom two are filled with a bunch of junk paper and books, and I want to look through it, but I don't have time because I have to hide my "Dead Zone" book. I think someone else wants to use it. I shove it in and put a bunch of papers on top of it. There is this girl who lives on my street keeps calling and coming over because she wants me to teach her how to play football. We decide that both of our backyards are too small so we head off to my grandma's house. I'm with Rose in Hollywood Video, and we're looking around when this guy comes in and takes everyone as his hostage while he robs the store. This helicopter shows up to take some of the hostages away, and Ed makes Rose and I get in. I don't want to leave him but he convinces me to go, so I hug him before I leave. Already inside the helicopter besides Rose is her mom and grandma. We are at home and at first I don't want to tell my mom what happened, but I do. Rose says I shouldn't talk so loud, because the guy is in the general area and might come to the house if he hears me. We see someone on the street and get all panicked but it turns out to be a new mailwoman. I call 411 to see if I can get in touch with the store, but all the person does is give me their new schedule. My dad gives me this sloppily, handwritten letter on lined paper (it looks written in crayon by a kid), and it's a whole spiel about how he wants me to go to school and finish like he didn't, and how didn't want me to have a job ?picking fruit? Rose hands me a printout from the webpage of a guy she goes to school with. Her picture is on there because the guy thinks she's hot, and he mentions my name in the paragraph when he's talking about her (how I'm related to her and how long I've been at the school). Then he calls on the phone and he won't tell me anything about himself, and also won't say how he knew my phone number. He hangs up and all of these weird sounds start coming out of the phone, like a beeping. I hang up and try to dial but the sound is still there. Eventually the dial tone comes back. I'm at a Chinese restaurant with Dana and the manager himself comes out to wait on us (all of the other waiters are busy). I knew the guys son worked at Hollywood Video so I asked him about Ed, and he said that he had a ?concussion? but was otherwise OK. Dana and I go to this club that is majorly crowded, but something happens so everyone is rushing out except for us two, and a few other people. Ed is one of them so we run to each other and hug again. I'm in my mom's room and I go down into the laundry room. My dad is fixing the washing machine and it starts spraying water everywhere, including me. It's Christmas and for some reason, Andrea, her older sister, and dad are there. Andrea's sister is being rude and I want to tell her off but everyone tells me not to bother. I hug Andrea's dad and tell him "Merry Christmas" but ignore the girls. Andrea's sister says how she paid for the presents so she's just going to sit there and not do anything.

I'm using the computer really late at night, and Rose's mom comes to the door. She has a bunch of doughnuts for us. I start to work again and she comes back, this time with a platter full of lettuce and hamburgers because we're supposed to have a party the next day. It's Halloween and there is a kind of parade on Railroad. There are hundreds of people walking up and down the sidewalks, nearly all of them wearing masks or face paint. I'm riding in a convertible (silver) with Rose and our moms. We see Mark on the road and he asks us for a ride. There is this weird compartment under the backseat, where my mom has put all of these muffin tins she just bought, and she agrees to give Mark a ride if he will help her carry them into the house.

I'm at my grandmother's house and there are two babies there. I'm holding one. He is very young (maybe six months) but he can talk. Someone asks me if I'm the one who takes care of him, and the baby tells him yes, and tells my dad.

I'm on the computer looking at some porno site and someone (one of my parents?) is going to come in from outside, so I try to close it but the computer messes up. I just press the "off" button and hope no one uses when I'm gone (I have to go somewhere) because I know it will still be there.

I am with this girl a few years older than me, and her boyfriend who has to be in his mid-40's. I'm supposed to have a threesome with them. First we are in his beach house and they are on the bed together, but he falls asleep before anything happens. I'm back at home in my bedroom with the girl and we start making out but my dad starts knocking at the door, and trying to open it while I push it shut. The girl gets mad and gets out a knife.
