Briar’s Journal (September 25 to October 16, 2012)



Dream Entry*
December 25, 2010

I can only remember fragments of my dream:

Bigfoot passing out candy canes to trick-or-treaters.

Beverly hiding peanut butter cookies under rocks by the pond.

My friends, a duck, and three puppies reading to ant colony.

* 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.
