i was at home getting ready for work and having a hard time picking an outfit. my mom was visiting and i noticed i didn't wash my hair. i took off my clothes and jumped in the shower. i noticed it was full of bleach water. i called my mom in and she drained the bathtub for what seemed like a very long time. i was with a large group of people including e. she said she left work early to lay in a hammock with her husband and caph (a pet bird that she doesnt actually have). we sat around a table discussing how long her birth would be. i said fast and m said it would take a long time and be a force given her name. i wondered if m had a difficult birth given her own name. we waited at the market for a long time while e was giving birth. there's a part here that i forget. i vaguely remember talking to children. i remember ordering food and asking for egg creams which someone pointed out would be very rich. we started walking through a market where there was a lot of jewelry. most of it was really ugly with thick leather strings. another section had music and then vhs tapes. i thought - who sells these anymore? i walked into a final small room where a woman immediately sat up from her chair and pointed to a small pin on her shirt to indicate she was in charge. there was nothing in the room, it was dim lighting, wood panels, low cielings and a door in the left corner. my first thought was that it looks like the portal door from a recurring dream i had as a child. i thought it would be funny to be able to go through the door. i started to feel sick and sat down in a chair. i saw p in a raincoat jump right into the portal. the room started spinning and rocking. i started to wonder if i was in a ship. a hand written sign was posted by the door that said something like "don't be afraid - there are vents in the pathways which allow for air circulation". i worried i didn't have my cell phone. i heard loud clanking and whooshing. i went back to the market and to a new section with posters. i started looking through them and they were all drawing of monsters like from a child's cartoons then i woke up
