I try to volunteer at my former place of employment, but I find it's useless because the intentions are no longer relevant. George, who is from germany, asks a rhetorical question "what am I doing in this country?"

I am by a river in the Andes region. Two indigenous looking (but unfamiliar) boys about nine years old, with dark skin ask me "Que haces?" I reply - "Estoy nadando" I then am diving for stones that the boys throw in the water.

I am back at my former employer in the office. We are sitting around discussing plans. Some are asking what my plan is. I say "way thru". I am going to southeast asia for a bit. Someone then says, oh, you would have to wear egyptian style dress and shoes.

I am at a grand dinner hall and dressed up. I know a lot of people, but they do not seem friendly. There is a presentation of media. ...The...several..suggestions...dull...provenant.
There are some people who just take cards and toss them aside. This is part of the presentation, a matchmaking. There are no women left, but I have my girlfriend.
on..the..way....color...walls are very thin. They change color in rapid succession. It is a planetarium! (not an observatory). A dog is at the fringes, and it is not friendly. I have been here before. Helmets. There is to be a change in the building to brighten it up. It is in Seattle, and the thin walls let in the sound of rain. Change to ...in the form of dramatic architectural lighting on the inside.

I am somewhere in my home state with my girlfriend of one year. I find on a map a group of mountains in Quebec, near Quebec City and one of the great lakes. They reach 3800 meters and there is a city below them. She says they are private. The information about them says that it can remain at a temperature of -140 oC in the summer there.

I am on a family vacation on the West coast. We (my family and I) are on an 1-mile long island only accessable by boat. I go on a hike alone where there are supposed to be bears. There is a tree with a 20' high stump platform next to it. The main tree is at least 15 ties this height. There is a view from the platform, and to climb down, I must swing from thin aspen trees. There is a woman at the bottom who says her dad made the platform by cutting it. This seems wrong, but the tree is ok.
There is a hike to the beach. Many people are there. It is warm, and I stand a while staring at the surf. Something is swimming to the beach. The head appears, then as it gets out, I see it's a big Brown bear. There are two more that follow, and the last one is especially big. They are very majestic. As soon as they are a ways inland from the beach, everyone starts running after them. I walk behind them. There are more bears on the trail out. I have a small gun in a coat pocket, and a bullet in another- but there is no threat great enough to warrant their use. What are they for?
I am sitting around, being lazy, while my sister is working harder. It turns out she has been using my bank account. We do not speak.
