I was going to go have a meal in a restaurant by myself. I went to the place where I used to work, and changed my clothes in a restroom, leaving my old clothes there. I walked to the restaurant, and as I got near it, I realized that I hadn't put on any shoes. It was too late--or too far--to go back and get my shoes, and I thought I'd just try to brazen it out and hope no one noticed, that they'd let me in anyway.
I was wearing something strapless, a dress, and thought maybe it was too bare, so wrapped a shawl-like thing around my shoulders and knotted it.
Then I was sitting at a table in the restaurant--Bob was with me now--looking at the menu and discussing it with the waiter, telling him that I didn't eat meat, usually, and couldn't find anything on the menu--didn't they have anything that didn't have much meat in it? He said certainly they did, and started describing something to me, and said that it was lamb.
I was horrified and said that I certainly wasn't going eat anything with lamb in it.

I was going to a party where everyone was going to be nude. I was a little worried about this, but I figured I probably didn't look any worse than many of the other people, and I would have to do it if I wanted to fit in.
I was alternately myself and someone else, looking at myself from the outside. I was with a man, he was my compabnion, but I didn't get any feel for who he was or anything about him. We had showered and dressed in light, loose fitting clothes in preparation for the party.
I was watching everyone else, and was surprised to see that most of the women were tattooed--I regretted that I didn't have any tattoos, because they seemed, somehow, to be dressed without being dressed.
One woman was tattooed with moons and stars and planets in deep blue colors, and one woman had a yellow ribbon with flowers that looked as if they were embroidered. It started small, near here breasts, and wound around her body to her hip, where it became quite wide.

I had been on vacation with Bob's parents, but I was apparently traveling back home by myself, and his mother asked me to take something back with me to a friend of hers. A frozen frog.
In two parts--a head and a body, both large, as large as a loaf of bread, maybe, and heavy. In order to get on the plane, I had to climb up a long, long, steep ladder, almost completely vertical, and when I reached the top, it just flattened out. Since I was holding the pieces of the frog, I had no way to get any leverage to boost myself up over the top, and ended up reluctantly climbing back down, and wondering how I was going to get home.
I was in an office--my office, although not my real office--and Misty and her new boyfriend came to visit me. I think his name was Edward. I wanted to take their picture, but I'd forgotten to bring the camera.
In a nearby office there was a computer (one of the Macintosh translucent ones) that had fish swimming in it. I asked someone how they did that, and they said to look at it closely. I did, and saw that the computer case actually had an aquarium inserted into it. So it wasn't quite as cool a I had at first thought.

Bob had invited some people over to the house, three of them, I think. It didn't occur to me to offer them anything to drink until one of them asked if he could have a glass of water. So I jumped up and went into the kitchen, and asked them if they would like water or Diet Coke.
I opened the cabinet, and all the glasses already had Diet Coke in them, but it had been there awhile, so I took them down and washed them, but then I decided to use different glasses, and they were dirty, too, so I started washing them, and then by the time I was up to a third set of glasses, one of the people left and I felt terrible that I didn't get him something to drink before he left.
