I dream I foresee my bald head and it has on it a profusion of disgusting moles. I am glad I still have hair to cover it. In the meantime, I am at a bodega in New York purchasing a coffee before I meet Gail, and the man behind the counter sells me two naked lady playing cards in addition to the coffee. Because of the shallowness of my pockets, the tops of the playing cards stick out and undoubtedly Gail will see them. I think of my excuse — I bought them for camp value and not for prurient reasons.

I dream I am in the audience of a mystery theater in which audience members vote on which mystery they are going to see. They announce that tonight’s show is GASLIGHT, and when the show begins I am in it. The first thing that happens is that I must organize file cards. The actor who helps me jokingly rips one of the file cards to show how anal my character is. I kick him out of the house. He tries to apologize, but I tell him he has to leave “Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Now!” The guy finally leaves, and the audience goes wild with approval.

I dream I am visiting Brooklyn with Gail and Deborah and Eric. Gail and Deborah insist on stopping at a discount store. I resent the waiting. The store announces a contest; if you buy a deck of cards and have an emotional response, there are prizes. The cards cost $3.75. I figure I can get rid of a lot of change in my wallet, and when I try to pay I take a long time. Finally, I fork over all the change I have plus a five dollar bill and the clerk refuses to give me change. She gives me a credit for the balance. I am livid. To make up for it, she tries to give Gail a chance to win a prize. She tells Gail she has to emote into a mirror. Gail is resistant and I am pissed. I start to tickle her, but it doesn’t work.
