      Getting back into the swing of things with a potentially politically inflammatory dream, HUAK TUH!

      QuestionMark:
      I'm in a veterinarians' office with a pug-like dog. It has the "blue" fur color. The fur is very soft.
      The vet tells me that the dog's name is Question Mark.
      "But don't say it slow, like that. Say it fast like QuestionMark."
      "Is this puppy a boy or a girl?"
      "We don't know what they want to be yet."
      "What do you mean you don't know? Is the dog transgender?"
      The vet holds up the dog and I see a dick.
      "That's a boy dog." I say.
      "THESHIRECAT!" my girlfriend says in outburst.
      I'm near a hole in the wall, and I see some hands come out to pet QuestionMark.
      Initially I'm a little freaked out, but I realize they are kids so the creepy behavior is recontextualized into silly kid behavior.


      Being Around You:
      I'm at a large grocery store, maybe a cross between a Costco, Home Depot, and my middle school from back home.
      I'm walking down the hall and I see a small man who seems to have a deformity with his legs.
      I respectfully give him the space he needs to pass by.
      Next I come across a happy looking couple.
      The woman says to the man "I'm happy when I'm with you" as if in response to a question he had asked.
      I take a moment and think about my girlfriend, and I get a warm and fuzzy feeling.
      I decide I want to find her and express the same sentiment.
      I find her checking out the groceries at the register and give her a big hug from behind.
      I worry for a second she might be uncomfortable with that in public, but she doesn't mind.

      Muddied Water:

      I'm meeting with friends (the Tots) somewhere.
      I arrive first, at a Wal-Mart like store. I'm searching for a bathroom.
      I see AG hugging somebody who isn't her boyfriend, while MD (the boyfriend) is returning from a nearby isle.
      The store then changes into something more like a Toys-R-Us.
      ...
      I'm in a dark and cramped escape-room type area. There are some dark purple plants covering the walls.
      There are some pots holding the plants, and the pots are filled with dirty looking water.
      ...
      I'm holding a glass of water, and it has the 'dirty' property from the escape room scene.
      I'm standing in a hallway at HM's house that isn't normally there.
      I accidently spill the water, and my Dad starts to criticize me before I have a chance to explain it wasn't my fault. Stressful moment.
      My Dad is in a full suit, and is explaining something work-related to HM.

      Drinking Twix
      I'm in a grocery store the resembles Target, near one of the aisles.
      I see a woman carrying a pop bottle that is larger than standard, but smaller than a two liter.
      It is Twix-flavored Sprite.
      I say "WOAH WHAT KIND OF FLAVOR IS THAT?!" and she offers to let me try it.
      It's actually pretty good.
