Briar’s Journal (September 4 to 19, 2012)

Dream Entry*
April 26, 2007


I can only remember fragments of my dream:

A barbershop quartet with three toads and a bobcat singing the alphabet.

Norman and Morzant arguing about how many holes a donut should have while Bigfoot tosses donuts into a clothes hamper.

My friends, a duck, and three puppies reading under a weeping willow.

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.
