I have some of my froglets with me - they escape and hop towards the lake. My friend and I recover most of them, but I think she crushes the two in her hand by squeezing too tight.
We are in the house's kitchen and there are many cats dancing and acrobatically jumping over one another, putting on a show for us. I'm particularly enamored by one black, white and grey cat. "That's why I like black and white cats the best," I tell her. In the corner is a marionette cat, dancing in blackface.
We are watching a black and white movie that has been partially colorized - it is an old famous comedy like the Three Stooges or Marx Brothers. I wonder to myself if the movie was originally released partially colorized as the characters refer to the colors of the objects which have been colorized.
We slide down a hill of snow. I make myself come to an abrupt stop to avoid ramming my crotch into a tree at the bottom of the hill. We laugh. On the way back up the hill, she turns to me, "You never turn towards me and when you do, it's only (blows three play kisses in the air)." She means I never make a sexual advance towards her but she is open to it. It seems like I should kiss her then, but I'm afraid.
The dream shifts and I'm now waking up from it in my bed in the Ohio house. I'm writing down what happened in the dream by scratching it into my arm with a torn fingernail. After a few lines, I notice the scrawling is not very legible and I stop to see whether I can read what I've written at all. It is bleeding quite a lot - I wonder if this is what "cutters" are doing - writing their dreams on their arms. I notice a screw has fallen out from my skin and it has left a large deep tear which looks like a compound fracture. Frightened, I cup my hand over the wound and go to my parents' room to have them take me to the hospital. "Are you guys awake?" They tell me to turn on the light, but I don't want to because I would spill all the blood in my cupped hand all over.
