Dreamt that I lived at my mom’s house. I had the only bedroom with a ceiling fan. Next to my desk was a full size or maybe twin size bed. Next to that, was a large fish tank with fresh water fish in it.

I’m not sure why, I had access to octopus and other creatures in another tank.

I scooped out the freshwater fish and most of the water. Then I dumped a bucket of sea water and creatures into the tank. Water ran down the side of the wall and over the outlet and plugs. I was thinking that it could start a fire.

I observed the water dripping. There was now standing water on the cherry stained hardwood floor. I was standing in the water. It was touching my short black socks. I wasn’t wearing shoes.

Then I was in a store, Meijer. It’s like a more expensive Walmart. According to a friend, “it’s like if k-mart grew up on the right side of the tracks.”

I was walking through the clothing aisles, looking for something that spoke to me and was in my size. I ended up in the men’s clothing/video game/ electronics department.

I spotted some Pac Man t-shirt. I was thinking John would love it. They didn’t have the right size. There were also male store workers talking amongst themselves questioning why I was in the men’s department.

I became frustrated and left that department. I walked into another men’s clothing section.

Then there was this dark opening between shelves. Inside of it were black boxes on black shelves stacked. It was very large. There was an absence of color. I walked around for a bit.

It felt like a maze. I thought to myself that normally I would love to explore a liminal space, but didn’t have the energy or time.

I walked out of the store to the parking lot. I couldn’t find my car. I kept walking looking for it. Then I woke up.
