I started out on a bus. There was a Hispanic man teasing me. I tried to get back at him by pouring soda on his when his back was turned, but another man stopped me. I wanted to kiss the man who had teased me but didn't.

I was back in high school. I talked to J. Didn't know which class I was supposed to go to. Looking it up took a while and class had already started. I was with a swim class by the pool, so I left them and went somewhere else, continuing to try and find my class schedule. I don't think I ever did.

Somehow I wound up in an outdoor train station (a train depot?) There was a train running past really fast and loud. At that point I was waiting for someone to come and pick me up. A blonde woman who looked like the actress from the movie Before Sunset arrived to take me home. She had kids in the back. When she showed up it was nighttime; I seemed to recognize her and I rushed forward to hug her, but for some reason I kissed the corner of her mouth. She gasped, I said "oh my God" and quickly turned my head to indicate I had meant to kiss her cheek. We got in the car finally.

Yet somehow we started out in my grandparents' neighborhood, which is very close to my old childhood home. But we couldn't find our way back. I tried to give directions but the area kept changing, becoming unrecognizable.

We wound up lost in an unfamiliar area. We passed through an abandoned university or school of some kind and saw a stray puppy. I called to it and it came over, with one bad leg and a missing eye. I closed the car window because I was afraid it would bite me. As we were leaving a young guy arrived, went over to the dog, and cut out its other eye with a box cutter. That was when I woke up.
