Again, didn’t get to jot down my dream in time so I forgot it.
Wed
In an opulent department store – I’ve seen something like it in my dreams before. I’m with a man who works there and naturally, knows his way around. He has a friend who gets mistaken for this other fellow and somehow gets roped into placing garments into shopping bags – he chooses to do this for the sole purpose of watching beautiful, well-dressed women – specifically their legs.
There are two of us in parts of the department store where we shouldn’t be. There is a guard hunting for us. I pass a display of glass boxes filled with water. They have examples of beautifully manicured hands and feet in them.

Some sort of university setting – and some sort of scavenger hunt thing. We’re divided into groups and my group has to carry these very heavy medieval blade-axe type things. I’m eventually led to a room and a senior female lecturer is giving a talk on some song cycle as a naked woman plays along on a musical instrument I’ve never seen. She appears to be singing in Yiddish. I only know this because another girl in the audience interrupts her to have a conversation with her.

I have this boyfriend who has an autistic brother and a black cat. In one room I am talking to both this brother and the cat (who oddly, is conversing with me. The cat answers me in English, but his mouth remains closed). I go to my boyfriend’s bedroom and he tells me I’m crazy for thinking I’m talking to a cat, but that his brother must like me to be talking to me.
This boyfriend is supposedly obsessed with me. So much so that he takes some weird alchemical substance that can kill you – he ingests it so that he will stop loving me, because apparently I don’t feel as strongly for him as he does me. He begins to froth at the mouth. I find these other magical beings in his room and we somehow manage to administer an antidote. My boyfriend becomes angry with me for getting rid of this poisonous cure for love.
