I went with Laura to the house of this artist. We opened the door and were in this room, it had a high ceiling and a reception desk. There was nobody there. I looked around and found some scribbling on the wall. People wrote their names down in a secret language of some sort, it was encrypted somehow but I recognized Inges name. The rooms corners were cut off, leaving the room 8 shaped. There were several recesses in the walls where shelves were hung. I remember a dream I had where I was in a shop where they sold witchcraft items. Also in the artist's shop he sold little knick knacks. There was a metal staircase, but we went through a light green painted door. We were in a hallway with a low ceiling, the left wall was entirely made out of glass and I could see a lot of big plants outside, they looked exotic. We went through another door and a couple more. We entered a big room that looked like a factory hall, it was deserted. I noticed a big python snake on the wall (apparently it had no trouble climbing up walls), it appeared to have just eaten a human, judging from the shape of its body. It was coming right at us and I shouted at Laura to run. She hesitated a bit before going, we ran back to the door we entered from and the hallway was longer than before, we opened many more doors than on the way there and on the right there was a door leading to the garden. Laura said she was going to the street and went outside, "are you sure this leads to the street?", but she was sure so I ran on, the python almost caught her when she escaped. The next doors I opened I also closed again, to stall that vicious snake. When I finally reached the entrance hall again the artist was back. "Do you know there's a python in the other room?!" I shouted with a weird voice from over exhaustment, "yes of course, it's in the terrarium, it's my pet", "it was on the wall, I think it just ate a human". The artist was visibly shocked and it struck me that he didn't look like an artist. A red and white cat came walking down the metal staircase and the artist told me he was going to deal with the snake, "it's best that you leave". "I don't think the cat is safe here", I said. While stroking the cat's head a grey kitten's head peaked out of the rectangular hole in the ceiling where the staircase was emerging from. Laura opened the front door, "it did lead to the street", and as soon as she saw the kitten she asked me if we could take it but I said that we already had a cat and couldn't possibly have another, we simply didn't have the space.

I was getting out of a van, instructed by a man in a coat to go over to a square. There were firemen standing there and F16's were flying over. I was thrown in the middle of the square and didn't know what to do. "Look up!", somebody explained to me that the trails the aircrafts left resembles the water being blown from different fire hoses so they could practice their strategies in case a building was on fire. The trails in the sky were broad and some were smaller, some were a bit purplish and some had a blueish glow.

I was on one side of a very big empty pool. It was dark. I remember a dream I had about gym class, being in the room, it's completely empty, I'm working on one site, under the racks. I'm doing something that I'm not supposed to do, and from behing the wall where the entrance is, occasionally the gym teacher comes to check on me. I have no idea what I was doing. At the pool there are a lot of people from my high school. Everybody is picking teams. Also Laura is there. She is also one of the people who gets turns to pick a team. I don't know how I got here, somebody gave me a very big blanket and I sit down on a couch that's facing the other direction. Before I notice it the picking of teams is almost over. Everybody is smiling, nobody has picked me yet! I don't understand why! I know I'm very good at whatever we are picking teams for and I especially don't understand why Laura hasn't picked me as her first choice. Instead she chose Marije first, a girl from my high school who I was friends with but who also was popular. It just pissed me off and I was wondering what I was doing in here in the first place.
