I dream Gail and I go to what looks on the outside like a suburban multiplex. Once we go inside we see that it’s a very old building with quaint architecture and we can’t find the box office. We follow flights of stairs going down, down, down, and we wind up in a quaint, modular movie theater in which you can’t see the screen. There are vending machines with caramel dipped marshmallows wrapped in wax paper for 49 cents. I go into the men’s room, but the urinals are too high for me. There are low tables where people play cards. I perform card tricks in the men’s room, but a man from the theater board of directors eyes me suspiciously.

I dream I go to a hard-boiled crime movie with my dad, but the plot turns in a way I’m afraid might upset him. The protagonist is gay and getting progressively more womanly and strange throughout the movie. At one point he is making out with a man who has metal studs on his face and a large segment of the audience gets up to leave. One guy is so appalled that he faints, and his friends pick him up and lay him across the chairs. I am a little annoyed with this movie, too, and I can tell my dad would like to get the hell out of there.

I dream the coming attractions of a new fantasy film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. An enchanted gorilla captures Edward Asner and puts him into a mammoth glass of water. The gorilla clamps his hand over the top of the glass so Asner can’t come up for air. Asner struggles until he realizes that he can breathe under water, and he is filled with insight.
