1. Swimming through Olympia with my dad on motorcycles.

2. I wake up and immediately go for a walk. It's sunny, the grass is dry and ochre, I'm headed through tracts of land, there are not sidewalks. I am following a little grey cat who disappears. When I get to a backyard, I can't see any way around it, so I keep walking through it until I reach the house which is fenced on either side...the only way to get beyond the house is to go through it.
There are plates with half-eaten food on them. I didn't think anyone would be home but there definitely is someone home. It's too late for me to choose not to risk it, I'm in the house. A brunette woman comes out of a hallway to see me traipsing through her living room. I briefly explain myself and she seems upset. But somehow we make amends and by the time I leave we are old friends.

3. Going to see a dress rehearsal at the Seattle Opera with the opera gang from Evergreen. K is a singer and during the opera I watch her so intently engaged that the dream dissolves into her backstory. We're at a crime scene, the police are here, and a camera crew. K's parents are being interviewed. The mother, a heavy-set southerner says "Ever since she was a little girl, we knew that she wanted to be singing."The dad interjects, a wiry, leathery man: "Once she said 'Daddy, I don't need to go to the opera'" But we knew better! I just laughed!" I'm watching my feet move through tall grass. The camera crew and the police are going to a house in Olympia where Kate used to live. We're talking to the current woman who lives there. She says K was one intense roommate as the leaseholder. There are a lot of trendy but functional items in the home and a box of records. When I look at the records, which has homemade subject dividers covered in lace, construction paper and "self" laminated with packing tape, I understand that K and I have lived in Olympia for the same amount of time.
The mother comes in the door and says "Nineteen. They just found nineteen shot guns. Why did she have to go buy another one?"

4. The opera gang heads into a a seminar room at evergreen afterwards. We're passing out scripts. I'm Bottom, who is really Bilbo baggins, as well as Bottom, who is Bottom. That was a flashaback. The show is tonight. From the audience I see the stage, this is a weird show! It starts with Bilbo Baggins and a wizard, then goes to the Joker and a kind of Jessica Rabbit number. The Joker character is to the side of the stage with his head in an aluminum box. He is speaking, but every few seconds he pulls a sheet of aluminum quickly across the box with a tab at the bottom to mimic cameras flashing. When flash has happened, he has a new expression on his face. He's incarcerated. I go on stage and say my first few lines which are about being hesitant about something. I look at the rest of the script. I'm not sure I can memorize this all within a few minutes.
