9/29/6

1) I'm in high school again. It's a new high school and very high tech. I'm new to the high school too. I'm between classes and can't figure out what my next class is or where it is. I have a strip of paper that has codes on it which is my class schedule but it's been ripped and I can't read it. So I go to the office to find out and they try to make me use a computer to find out, kind of like automatic ticket machines at metro stations, but my schedule is ripped and it won't work. So a lady helps me but tells me I can't go to class because my Mom owes $300 to the school.

2) I'm inside an upper floor of a large office building. It's very expansive and obviously going to be very nice. Reminds me of something Trump would build. It's under construction and it's obvious to me that the crews are behind schedule and really don't know what they're doing. They're at the sheetrock phase. I'm kind of helping them but I'm not a part of the crew.

The big boss comes and isn't happy. I get the feeling that he's ruthless. He looks like a mafia boss. Overweight, expensive suit and several people in his entourage. He rips into the crew and then they take a lunch break. I comment to one of the foremen that maybe they should have planned better. That I would have planned it out before I started. He looked at me with a mixture of tired helplessness and irritability.

Suddenly the building is done and it's absolutely stunning inside. It's about 8 stories high and about 2 blocks wide, the outside is a red brick veneer. The inside is beautiful with carpet, wood, granite, and tile.

For some reason the boss has told his men to kill everybody involved w/the construction project. We're all panicked. I'm not a part of the crew but I'm lumped in with them somehow. The bosses men start roaming the building looking for all of us to kill us. Every man for himself. I start looking for a way out. In the process of running from room to room looking for an exit I run through an interior atrium of sorts. Inside is the boss and he's on a cell phone. He looks at me annoyed but doesn't try to kill me. I run across to another door and tell him how beautiful the room is. It had incredible mosaic tiles on the floor and even on the doors. I exit the room and find a stairway that leads to the ground floor.

I escape the building through the stairway and head across the parking lot toward a street. It feels like early morning. Dark, cold. The cars on the street have headlights on. As I try to cross the street an incredibly strong wind prevents me from crossing. I try several times to cross and am physically leaning into the wind like you see people do during hurricanes. It almost blows me backwards. But I don't want to go back to the building and get killed. So I keep pressing. With my head nearly pressed to the ground in front of me I remember thinking "I wonder what this part of the dream means?".

Eventually I cross the road and enter a building that's an indoor/outdoor market of sorts. Vegetables and fruit all over the place on stands. Reminds me of the fruit stands in Monterey. The place is run by Asians. They seem scared that I'm there and hide. I consider stealing one of their vehicles to get away but don't because I figure I'll stick out like a sore thumb. The vehicles are those little dinky trucks that barely fit a man inside the cab.

I walk down the street and it's daylight now. I run into two ladies that I recognize. One's younger, the other's older. Like they could be mother and daughter. The younger lady is in her 20's, maybe early 30's and they're both attractive and well kempt. I talk to them but they act apprehensive about talking to me and walk away. As they walk away they're caught up in a small group of 6-7 people that are walking down the street. I join them. I recognize a couple of the people as workers in the building crew. I get nervous because I figure I now have a better chance of being caught so I start to look for a way to leave the group. I notice a park to our right, the building is to our left.

Suddenly I hear everyone gasp and point up. Somebody is standing on the edge of the new building. It's a guy and it looks like he's dressed in some sort of blue track suit. He yells something about Christina. "I love you Christina" or "I'm sorry Christina", something like that. And then he jumps and everybody screams. He hits the ground on a mezzanine area with a splat/thud. People are running to see him. I use the disctraction to run across the street to the park.

As I enter the park I can see people in there that are obviously looking for someone. I assume they're looking for me. The park has large flower beds with paths in between them. The first flower bed is dead, but the other ones seem to have flowers. I run down the path and find a small building. I enter the building.

It's another office building. Very contemporary. New. It's the end of the day and nobody is there, but lights are on. I try to find a place to hide. But then I notice a female who's going around shutting off the lights. She's not a security guard but she could report me if she wanted to. I try to hide from her on a spiral staircase. She walks right by me once, but on her way back she sees me. I don't say anything but I just look at her. She seems to take pity on me but I can tell she's nervous about getting caught. It seems that now I sense that other people are in the building looking for me so I hide in a small empty room by standing flat against a wall.

Then my wife, my Mom, and the lady are watching me clean a large window in a hallway of the building with a squeegee. Then I'm cleaning up dust and dirt off the floor and putting it in an office garbage can.
