I dream I am in a cooking show/cooking school and the challenge today is “mouse cooking.” With a certain naughtiness, the chef pulls a little white mouse from his costume, covers it with flour and sugar and puts it into the center of a metal ball that screws together. Later, it comes out in a deep fried state. I am disgusted and I refuse to eat it, but on the way home I am with other people and a bird swoops toward me. I accidentally injure it. One of my companions, the former head of the Department of Performance Studies at NYU, insists that I must now take care of the bird because I have altered its life. I find a box in my garage in which the bird can heal.

I dream I am on a bus trip to an unfamiliar city with mazelike streets. I explore the magic shop, which seems to be well-stocked, but nothing interests me. On the way back to the room, I hear that a present is waiting for me. In the bathtub, there is a small puddle of scum, a fish head, and a half mouse that is still alive. Nearby I find a bucket and a pair of mouse tongs. Using the mouse tongs, I place the half mouse into the bucket and fill it up with water. I hold the half mouse under until it is dead.

I dream I live in a cross between my father’s house and a hostel for wayward youth. I need to go to the bathroom, so I steal a padlock from outside the bedroom of Curly from the Three Stooges. I use Curly’s lock to keep the bathroom secure. The bathroom is squalid, so I try to do my business quickly. There is wind coming in and it makes some toiletries move to the edge of the sink and then fall off. This creates kind of a shadow play. One of the bottles is shaped like Mickey Mouse, and Mickey’s silhouette appears to commit suicide by jumping off the sink.
