Diary entry, April 28, 2004


I had another disturbing dream last night.  I was falsely accused of killing a boy, but I had somehow managed to get away so I was on the run, trying to find out who did kill him with the help of a couple of people.

At some point I went to a friend’s house, thinking I’d be safe there, but her kids called the police because they were angry that their parents were getting a divorce.  When I saw the police coming I begged my friend to hide me in the attic, and to not let the police search the house—but I felt terribly guilty about it.

At this point the daughter felt badly about calling the police, so she and her friends were trying to come up with a disguise to help me escape.  The whole time I’m thinking, “They’re going to catch me and put me in the electric chair—and I didn’t do it!”  However, I was trying very hard to be nice and understanding to the kids who turned me in, even as they kept mucking up my chances for escape.

Then my brother Steve showed up and I had to kiss him and act like I was glad to see him...yuck.  Anyway, I finally woke up, and I was really freaked out.  To fall back asleep again, I “finished” the dream by imagining the police telling me they’d found the right person, and they were just there to tell me I was no longer a suspect.

Let’s just say I am so ready for my appointment tomorrow.  I’ve still got to decide what to do about going to Minnesota over Memorial Day weekend.
