Dog
June 26, 2010
I dream I am appearing in a burlesque show in a high school theater. Attendance is sparse and the show is not going well. It is time for my trained dog act, but the dog is not there. A dog I don’t know has shown up with his trainer, and they suggest I do the act with this strange dog. I say, “I’ve never worked with this dog.” They say, “Ah, just give it a try.” I say, “Hello, Doggie,” and the dog barks viciously. At first I am terrified but then the dog gets right up to my face, smiles, and says “Hello, Fred.” It becomes clear that this dog will be a sensation and I am already anticipating the accolades, but nearby a Metro North train is letting out and the crowds pass right across our stage. Sadly, none of them stay for the show. I am astonished to learn that there is a Metro North track that runs right across the back of the stage. I wonder why more people don’t get killed.

I dream I am in a mall about to order dinner at a food court counter. A friendly bulldog puts my thumb in his mouth and drags me across the floor. He then jumps on top of me, licks me, and hugs me. I am embarrassed, but I feel loved.

I dream I am in a restaurant and a woman I don’t know sits down to watch me eat. I feel uncomfortable, but try to appear nonchalant. I chat with her awhile, and then make some Devil Dog tea. When we look outside and examine the monuments, we see that we are in a combination of Penn Station and Red Square.
