People run through the streets seeking cover.   In scene two of the dream, a it’s morning and a husband and pregnant wife are getting ready for work.

Surprise Visitors, by Jennifer

Surprise Visitors, by Jennifer

I had some visitors. In the beginning part of the night, there were these two dudes, one of them had like this weird futuristic hairdo, like a hexagon on his head.

We were sectioned off into the groups that handled the different fruits or vegetables and I had tomato and I...

Evil Food, by Maja

Evil Food, by Maja

The dream was here, in this same space [Katzen Kultur Klub in Los Angeles]. There was a table with all this food but I knew that there was something evil about it, that we shouldn’t be eating it. Somebody said, hey, “that’s really good, it looks like good food” and I was like, “No… don’t eat the food” and they were like, “Why, what’s the problem, what’s going on?” But I knew there was something wrong. And then this...
