In my dream they own a stacked wooden record rack.

In my dream the crimped black paper cube is passed from hand to hand.

In my dream I down a pint of beer: the first two gulps are crisp like a pilsner but then it quickly turns thick and honeyed against my tongue.

In my dream she keeps urging me to authenticate the coloring book she holds near her khaki outfit. Her persistence is a motif.
