Dream Journal
I was with my mother in Denver at her mother’s house; Grandma had died and we went to Denver to help sort everything out. I wandered through the house and noticed that it wasn’t like I had remembered it. It was very clean with bright wallpaper and full of light.
The living room was gone: the entry to it had been walled-over. I asked my mom where the room went, and she told me that nothing had ever been there.
We went into the kitchen. The refrigerator was very large with two doors side by side. I opened the freezer and found that the entire inside of the freezer was one large block of ice, as though it had been filled with water and then frozen. There were buckets of cubed ice in the refrigerator side.
I was then outside by a very long and skinny lake. The lake was probably only 100 yards wide, yet I could not see its end. I was very excited to see the water but wished that it were the ocean. There were a lot of people lined up in lawn chairs on both sides of the lake. The ground surrounding the lake was orange-ish brown, and looked like a desert.
It was my first day at a new school and they were having student council elections. I wandered through the bleachers in the gym and saw Rachael Degrafenreid—a face I recognized. I sat with her and told her that I voted for someone I didn’t even know. She told me that she did the same. We laughed at the absurdity of that.
