traum, amon, chiller, zu, and me were there. kev may have been, but that part is blurry. we were in some sort of lab doing some sorts of experiments.

i teased either traum or amon about something, and whatever i sad touched a bad nerve. whichever one it was, he grabbed me around the neck from behind with his (rather enormous) arm, jumped up with me onto a table, and whispered things in my ear. first thing he said at the shock on my face was, "stronger than you thought, i know." then he basically chastised me. i ought not to do that, he said. then he let me go.

i was close to tears afterwards. everyone got pretty quiet. nearly everyone left except the man (traum or amon) that i didn't anger. i was very, very quiet. he said something to me, but i've already forgotten it. i didn't answer. i was trying to hold back the tears. i didn't want to cry in front of him. he said that the other one was working out or punching something or what not and that he felt bad, too (for scaring me, etc, not because of whatever it is i had said).

there were some dvds that were sometimes action figures and sometimes puzzle games on the table. i picked them all up and was putting them in the cooler i used as my weird backpack even though i knew two of them were traum's or amon's. then i put those two down again, closed up my cooler, and started leaving. i think there was something about a (spiral?) staircase after that.

then someone woke me up.

i was in a big house at which we were having some sort of party. my nephew was there, and nathan said something about him using some sort of slur about italians. i jabbed nathan in the ribs really hard and muttered in his ear that my nephew's mother and family were there, and if they heard him saying that, especially about her son, they'd kill him, and i didn't want that to happen. we were standing at the dessert table, and there were little brownie squares. some of them had nuts in them, some had powdered sugar, and some had nuts and coconuts. the ones with nuts-only were called "________ eyes" or something with eyes in the name, and nathan said he didn't know that there were coconuts in the "_______ eyes" brownies. i told him that those were called something else. the person in front of him and me in line took the last piece of the pie that i wanted.

there was also something about the back yard which had a huge porch and absolutely no vegetation in the yard part itself. it was very, very muddy.

i had a litter of five puppies. when i say i had them, i mean i gave birth to them. two of them were a bit runty. i had this weird belt that sort of looked like a tool belt. it was really soft and chocolate brown in color. it had five pockets - one for each puppy. i took them over to scott's house.

i think someone was trying to feed them something that just wasn't appropriate for babies, and i made someone go to the store to get some proper formula and some bottles. then i handed everyone a puppy to feed.

scott got the biggest one and wanted to name him topper. hilary had a spotted one and wanted to name him cheetah. i was feeding both of the runts. scott put topper down to play on the floor, and i was nervous that his two big bulldogs would accidentally hurt my puppy.

i dreamed of two boys. one was very dashing and charming and one of those Noticed people. you know, the kind that you immediately see. the other was charming in a quieter way, a little nerdy, not someone you notice, really. they both wanted me. i was drawn more to the first boy, but i liked the other one, too. i kissed them both, and i liked it, but i felt guilty at having kissed more than one boy. i was leaning toward choosing the quiet one because he was "safer". he would be less likely to leave me or be using me for something. i woke up before i made any decisions, though.
