Briar’s Journal (October 8 to 22, 2013)

Dream Entry*
April 23, 2004

I can only remember fragments of my dream:

Morzant is wearing a Norman costume. Norman is wearing a Morzant costume.

Bigfoot and Penny are throwing toilet paper on the trees in front of Beverly’s house.

My friends, a duck, and three puppies trick-or-treating. At the end of the evening they dump out all their treats—books—and read them while eating candy corn.

* 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.
