(2/15/08) dog in the maze; lizard on my arm

(Entered in paper journal at 6 AM on Q-train from Brooklyn to Manhattan.)

Dream #1

I was off the side of some on a hillside, possibly with my mom and sister. There was something like a maze of concrete or wood walls set up. Somewhere in this maze was a black dog. The grass all around us was tall and thick. It was a warm, bright, blue-white day.

Dream #2

I stood in the doorway of some ground-level apartment with my mother and sister. I was telling them that in this place you see certain animals. Looking across the way I saw a lizard climbing onto the porch of an apartment door. I walked over to it. At first it looked smallish, dry, green, like an anole.

I let it climb up onto me. It might have seemed very weak at first. It climbed up onto my right (?) arm. It now grew grew and became stronger. It was colored black, orange, and yellow. Its scales were sleek, like those of a snake. I showed my mom and sister. There was something else about the situation that I wanted to tell them about. But I just couldn't find the words to express it.

We stood before a TV in the living room. A Latino man, possibly with long hair, glasses, and a backward baseball cap, turned on something like a pay-per-view show for us about lizards. The show was either sixteen minutes long or in 16mm film. The man walked into the hallway and out of our sight. He said, "Now that you've started watching this movie you can't switch to anything else."
