I dream I must go to Home Depot to purchase a planter for my wife, Gail. Gail is delighted with the planter, and insists that we bring it when we go to a spook house at a seashore amusement pier. I don’t want to be scared, but Gail insists that we go. Somehow, I wind up at the comedy show of my friend, Dave, who is performing with my sister-in-law, Helaine. Their act seems to be falling flat. Afterwards, when Dave asks me how it went, I explain that a) it’s not much of an act and b) he should have teamed up with me.

I dream Stephen King comes over for an evening at my house. King shows up with several cans marked “beer,” and he chain drinks them. Then he, Gail, Lorri, and I get in the car and head for a Home Depot. I admit that even though I don’t know anything about home repairs, I enjoy looking at the hammers. King says he is interested in hammers as well. We wonder if King will be recognized.

I dream I am at Home Depot where, amidst the screwdrivers, I find a tabloid publication written by my friend, Bob. The publication is all about Bob’s accomplishments as well as ads for his friends’ performances. I burn with jealousy and when Bob shows up I give him sarcasm and invective. He tells me it’s a simple matter to publish such a newsletter and I ought to do one myself. As I look for back issues, I discover that Bob publishes a line of workbooks for schoolchildren as well.
