My entire family is over at my grandma's house and it's night. My parents want to leave so we go out into the front yard. All of the kids are on the driveway and there are dozens and dozens of beer bottles and bottles of wine or champagne. They are lighting a bunch of them on fire and my mom doesn't want my brother to be there, but he doesn't listen so I have to literally drag him home. I am walking around school and I end up in this parking garage. Instead of going up, I go down to lower levels. Three levels down, I turn a corner and I see this youngish blond guy standing in the middle of the garage (which is completely empty of cars). I don't want him to see me so I turn around, but he does and walks over to me. Then I blink and my mom and I are both walking, and we are in the parking garage. When we get down to the level with the guy, I whisper to my Mom "Turn around, let's run" and we go to but the guy sees and he comes over. He is walking normally but catches up because we can't walk very fast at all. When he gets within a few feet of us I turn around really suddenly because I want to say something or ask him a question that will surprise him enough to leave us alone and he tells me something, about not to even try it. He is holding this really big butcher knife in his hand and I'm kind of backing up, standing on one leg so I can kick it, while telling my mom to run away so I can deal with him myself. He kind of holds the knife straight out and says to me, "Come on bitch, I fucking dare you to kick it out of my hand." I know I'm not going to be able to so I don't. He tells me that he is going to kill me, and [direct quote] "I am going to make you wear a fucking deer hat on your skull." [In my dream a deer hat was this weird torture device that hunters used to kill deer, like this big thing they'd strap on the head that had huge pokey things to shove into its brain. I'd also like to add for the record that this was a NyQuil induced dream... it sounds really stupid now but I woke up still all freaked out and the longer I kept thinking about it the more scared I kept getting. It really sucked.]

We're having a big party over at my grandma's house and Rose has to get someone from her mom's car so I go outside with her. The street is a lot longer than it is and crowded with cars, but we can't find her mom's. She gets really mad so she starts smoking a cigarette.

I work and also stay at this hotel in Las Vegas. My boss keeps dragging me around places while he talks to people about all this stuff he needs because a lot of people (either 1800 or 18,000) are expected because there's going to be this huge boxing match between Mike Tyson and someone else. My mom and I had been at my grandmothers house and we're sitting in the car and my mom keeps getting freaked out because she keeps hearing a person or an animal in the alley. At home, one of us opens the last Fruit by the Foot and it's the one where you win money. We are confused and arguing about how much exactly we've won; I think $100,000 and my mom thinks a million. My dad comes home and he calls them to find out it's only $1,000. For some reason my brother gets to keep it and my mom tells him she better not find out about him skipping school to go shopping and things. He is reading this weird book about the deaths of this boy and his cousin and how they compared. He gives me this booklet on the cousin, telling about the content of his blood and other random stuff. Mom's got two coupons for free massages at some spa and she offers one to my dad but he doesn't want it. I say "Sure, I see how it is" and hint around but she still doesn't give it to me.

I'm sitting at our dining room table with a bunch of people and I look across the street to this car that's been parked there. Inside are two guys (late 30's, early 40's) who have been following me around and spying on me. One of them sees me looking at him so I wave and he waves back, making this weird arm motion. The phone rings and the one who didn't wave is on there for me. I don't hear the first thing he says because everyone else is talking and carrying on. I carry the phone into my parents room and talk. A bit of the conversation:
Me: You have a sexy voice.
Guy: Why would you tell me that?
Me: Well, you do. And I'm scared of you. I didn't do anything, I'm not going to do anything!
We are still talking and Rose comes by. She is about to leave when she sees I'm on the phone but I ask her to stay because I need to go to Fashion Bug afterwards. We go on to Fashion Bug and we're the only ones in the store, besides this girl who works there and the mom of the guy I'm supposed to be marrying (???) She doesn't like me in the first place and it amuses me to annoy her by trying on really ugly dresses. I get this one nice white dress and this weird black coverup. Everyone leaves except me. I live in this warehouse and have a whole group of people guarding this place. There are some people on the inside to watch over the computer, and a trio of guys who watch the door. I'm in this PE class with a bunch of other girls. We don't really do anything, just put on our uniforms and then get into line so we can get cookies or some other treat. The treats are always pink and I keep asking people if they wonder whether the boys get blue treats.

Someone has this machine that detects hidden cameras and they're pointing it all around my room and they find one in my old alarm clock. When there is a hidden camera present the thing turns bright red-pink. I am sitting down to make a collage and dump out this huge paper bag filled with leaves. All of the leaves are small and most of them are green with speckles of lighter green. Not even a handful of the leaves are this bright pink color. I am really excited to do the collage but then I realize I don't have the posterboard so I put all of the leaves back and tell my mom I'm going to the store.

There is this small fire in the corner of my living room, but we are not putting it out. Neither are these two random guys in the room. My mom and I leave, but no one is taking anything. I ask my mom to go back in with me so I can get some stuff. I get my binder, my purse, and some notebook, and we leave again. We're driving around and go to my grandma's house. We start watching some decorating show on TV, and on there is some old snobby man that lives a few blocks away from us. We're having a party and have a few plastic bags full of party favors for the kids. There are magnifying glasses, but we are one short. I say that Gina has a real one at home so she doesn't need one of these.

I'm having a party and Maria, Rose and Mark. Everyone is pretty muc not talking to each other. My mom gives me these two bags of beads because we have to make necklaces. Half of the beads are these huge square ones and the others are smaller. I put the bags on the table and then look for Mark because I have to talk to him. He is in the bathroom arguing with Maria. I knock on the door but neither of them will answer it. I'm out in the living room trying to find music to put on. I find a case for an Edie Brickell CD but I can't find the disc itself so I'm annoyed. Everyone finally gets out to the table to work on the necklaces but I'm still trying to put on music. A song from the Breakfast Club soundtrack starts playing but it turns out to be the radio so I go to the computer and look for CD's over there. I find a "Letters to Cleo" one and by the time I get it to work, Mark and Greg have started to fight, something to do with Maria, and I have to break it up. It's the morning and my sister is going to school but the bus won't run so they bring along this HUGE bus for everyone to ride on. I'm at my grandmother's for some family party and there is a baby ? there. He comes up to me and climbs in my arms, talking and talking. I'm outside of this store in San Francisco, talking to this homeless man. He has a shopping cart and he lets go of it so it slides over to the street. I manage to catch it just before it hits this car, and go to push it back to him and I say "Don't you want it?" He looks different now, and I realize that I have turned into the homeless one. Someone says to me, "Why do you have to mess up the street?" This policeman comes and starts yelling at me, so I run away, taking the cart with me. I leave it in the alley and walk away, past this old theater/subway that is being restored. There is a news crew there who is filming the workers, who are fixing the lit-up letters on the sign.

I'm in this classroom that looks like it's from my junior high but it's inside my college. I'm with a bunch of other people waiting for ?something? A bunch of us go outside and there are a bunch of these weird pointy flowers. Some girl has a "course book" and I'm looking at the list of rules. One of the rules is that there always has to be a policeman and a newsvan across the street, but there is none. My cell phone is stolen by some hackers and when I get it back it's been turned into a kind of portal for them to play games and send each other pictures. I figure out how to erase all of that stuff and tell them to leave me alone. I'm walking around at school and go past this classroom that is about halfway up a long flight of stairs. Sleeping by the classroom is this guy (late 20's) and two boys who aren't his sons but he's taking care of them. It starts to rain really hard so I wake them up and tell them to come with me. At the very top of the stairs is a bedroom where they stay. The man has his mattress on the floor and it has several pairs of sunglasses on top of it. The two kids are with me later on when I'm in a swimming pool (?) and talking to some guy I like. We get into an argument about something.

I'm in a PE class with lots of people. We're in a gym and have to get into a long line. We're each given a number and then by that number, we're separated into softball teams. Katherine is in my class and luckily we get on the same team. She has a piece of jewelry or some really cool toy that I'm admiring while we walk outside. When we get outside she has turned into Debra. It's raining hard and we find a bench under a tree that is dry, but she takes up all of that space so I am getting wet. I walk more and meet up with Maria, Michelle and Rose. We sit around this table and Maria gives us each a really nice bracelet. The one she gives me was picked out by both her and her boyfriend. It has silver and pink beads, and a charm of the Virgin Mary. In return I give her a slap bracelet. My parents had gone to a funeral in Walnut Creek that ended up being on TV because some people there has gotten drunk and into a fight. I'm at home getting ready for a party at my grandma's, and I'm watching this baby who keeps misbehaving and running off. I get him into his carseat and the car is getting very crowded with people. More and more people keep getting in so it turns into a bus. A lot of people on there are just random people from the neighborhood, and lots of kids. Someone is making daiquiris but they're not very good. I'm at home and my mom had gone to the store, and brought back all these different kinds of birth control (???) in big boxes. Most of them are these lotions/creams that you rub on yourself. One is this big package of soft pretzels coated with sugar and cinnamon that has the birth control inside it, and you just eat the pretzel.
