Briar’s Journal (May 15 to June 6, 2012)

Dream Entry*

November 5, 2003


I can only remember fragments of my dream:


Norman insisting I tell him my collar size.


A purple iris climbing a ladder to the roof because the weathervane is stuck.


Two scoops of maple walnut ice cream melting on a hot sidewalk.


My friends, a duck, and three beagle puppies walking while balancing books on their heads.

* The dream entries from Briar’s journal contain premonitions of books that will be published in the future. Briar’s dream self foresees the books’ summaries and knows which will likely appeal to each of her friends. Briar always wakes up before she can see whether her friends will enjoy the books.
