I was biking down the street that goes from my parents' street to the 'nieuwbouw' (part of the town where all the new houses are constructed). While cycling, I could look down on that entire part of the town, it was so far down! I saw brown hills behind it and everything was covered in a mist. Once I got there I got off my bike and started taking pictures of morning dew on the bright green grass by the lake and other artsy things.

I went to a motor race, it was organised by the town. Everything was set up in the mud. In the center, alongside the circular track, there were stable-like cabins where you could sit in (on the shelves on the edges) or just stand in. It was almost empty, so Laura and I were drinking beers. More people came in and some motorbikes were lining up. Some guys in protective motorbike suits came up to us to collect the beers, Laura gave her empty can. And they were about to leave, but then they saw that I still had a bottle of bock beer in my bag. I told them that I wasn't planning on drinking it anyways, so I wasn't going to give it to them to throw it away. There was kind of a fuss about it, but I had a poker face and stood my ground. I paid for these beers. People started to get festive and they were getting all over Laura, which disturbed me so I wanted to sit down next to her. The race started and I had trouble seeing, she told me to look at the race, but I could barely open my eyes, everything was blurry, my eyes hurt until I couldn't see anymore.

The next scene was at some sort of bungalow park, were we were all of a sudden. I think we were wanted by the staff or some sort of police force. We were in some sort of courtyard in front of the bungalow, there was a lot of stuff in the yard, tables, pillows, people, junk. I had to change my jeans because there were grass and mud stains on them and I was wearing things that were not mine. I had to wait an enormous amount of time for the toilets to be unoccupied again, some girl was cleaning sea shells with her sister. When I went in to change my pants and do the usual toilet stuff I saw that the bathroom was gigantic. It was very dimly lit, with dark tiling on the walls. On the left there was a bathtub with something on top where a red cat was lying on. When it looked up I saw it was wearing a hat to keep its ears warm. On the right there was the toilet area with a toilet and some sinks, with red tiles on the wall. Instead I walked to the end of the room, where a big machine was standing in black and white plastic and metal parts. It was a construction where on the one side I thought I could go in, but I saw towels drying inside, the whole inside could turn like a corkscrew, making the laundry go down into a hole in the floor, creating more place to hang laundry. On the right I saw a glass door which lead to a hallway of glass walls with offices. I got a bit lost, but found my way back again to the toilet and took my pants of. I remember now a dream about a big room of toilet stalls, there were at least 20 toilets on each side, but the doors were so low that you could see each other's faces. I was reluctant to go to the toilet. I tried out different ones, but never felt comfortable enough to actually drop my pants and go. I think I found a big stall in the corner, where I was somewhat sheltered. When I got out of the toilet with the laundry machine and the hat wearing cat I don't know what happened, I think Laura had already been dragged away, or she had fled. I think I started to run myself. I think miraculously I was wearing all my clothes again.
