Connecticut Realism

I’m with my father in our backyard on Prescott Drive. He takes me to see what’s tormenting him.

It’s a story in a book. It’s my grandmother. He has to pray with her. She’s very religious. He has to pray the story in the book every day and he hates it.

I look in the book to see the other stories, to see who the other stories are written by. I try to show him the other stories in the book.

I tell him that the authors of the other stories are all prominent members of a school called "Connecticut Realism."

We visit a shop that sells uniforms. All the clothes are displayed on mannequins and are sold in plastic packages.

I see a beautiful cashmere top and pants. I try to buy it, but the actual clothing in the packages is much cheaper fabric.

Paths and Alignment

nice framing of a photograph, like digital assembly of elements that were pre-determined to align
like sets on a stage

Cheating/Surveillance

I am married to Harry again, but either he is cheating on me or I am cheating on him.

We are sneaking around, trying to get away with something.

There are DVDs and I am supposed to watch something or record something.

The Man

I’m staying in a dorm or some other educational facility. There’s a man who’s associated with the government or the military.

He says he has vacation time but he has nowhere to go, so instead he’s going to Iraq.

I’m attracted to him, but I feel guilty that I’m cheating on Jonathan.

Family (not my own)

I’m a Mormon and I’m married to Tony Soprano.

Susie is married and having a baby.

From McDonald’s to path in the woods

Pete and I are play-fighting with small toy light sabers. Mine is pink and his is blue.

I call a taxi and am getting ready to leave my childhood home on Prescott Drive. I’m gathering up my things, but it’s taking a long time. I’m gathering my things into my purse in the kitchen. When the taxi arrives I’m still not ready and I motion for it to wait. The taxi driver is a woman.

I go to a Christmas party. My mother is there. I bring Bob A. as my date. I say hello to some people. The party is really boring so I decide to go wander around.

I’m walking down the street of a city. I stop in a McDonalds. I see Tod eating with his friends and I flee before he can see me. He’s going to a show. I think he’s disgusting.

I walk back to the party on a path through some woods. When I arrive I say hello to my family, and my uncle Dave and aunt Carole.
