I dream I’m just outside of New York City on the day of Dumbledore’s wedding and there is a strange plant growing in the fountain at the reception site. The plant troubles me, but Dumbledore just looks at it knowingly. Obviously, evil forces are planning something bad. A few days later frogs confirm this and Dumbledore and I have to evade an enormous underwater monster who is out to flood the world. Meanwhile, in the city, some officials complain about the drought. Mickey Mouse, who has become incorporated into some nearby skyscrapers, bends the buildings over causing some residual water to pour from the rooftops into the center of town. This saves the city from drought.

I dream I am walking with Gail through the Streets of New York and looking at the sites. We see a family, including a young boy with a talis, lighting Sabbath candles. Gail and I agree that this is a rare and beautiful moment. We get to our destination and go up the stairs to see a prosperous financial advisor. By the time we meet him, Gail has transformed into a barrel-chested older man. The advisor assures us that this is a good time to invest in the stock market. On the way out, the barrel-chested man and I discuss the meeting. He likes what the financial advisor has said, and I feel willing to invest a little bit of money.

I dream Gail and I stop at a Brooklyn tavern. Gail sits down near a crazy lady and I head for the men’s room. There is a tiny, ash tray sized urinal and it’s all exposed, so I take off my jacket and drape it so my “business” will be somewhat concealed. I start to go, and a feminine-looking man comes in and washes his/her hands. Then, a hail and hearty businessman-type enters, all chatty. For fun, he jostles me so I miss the tiny urinal and my piss goes awry. The businessman is laughing it up, so I spray a little piss at him. He is furious and starts talking tough. I talk tougher. The feminine-looking man is amused at our macho antics.
