Briar's Journal (December 26, 2012 to January 15, 2013)

Dream Entry*

May 16, 2006

 

I can only remember fragments of my dream:

 

Morzant shredding pages torn from old books and throwing the shreds out the window of his spaceship. The pieces orbit Earth.

 

Three puppies dancing around a pole while a flashing sphere slides down it. They are chanting, “Three hundred and sixty-five more days of reading!”

 

My friends, a duck, and the three puppies reading to a baby.
