the last thing i was dreaming before avram woke me up was that i was in what was supposed to be new york city. but it was sort of like venice--all elevated concrete roadways criss-crossing over water. i know that at one point one of my professors was in it and was praising me for something but giving me a failing grade on a project as he did so. the last bit involved all of the concrete roadways crumbling beneath me. i kept trying to rescue people before they fell down to the water with the collapsing chunks of concrete. somehow my mother appeared, and we took turns rescuing each other from falling, ala hollywood cliffhanger movie endings. just before avram woke me up my mother fell into the water. it was so far below i couldn't see her to see if she was okay, so i was screaming for help.

earlier in the night i had a dream that every time i would speak about or do some certain thing (which i can't remember), i would be transported to a burning forest.
