This is the second of three posts that were lost, so my memory is sketchy at best. Here’s what little I can remember of this dream:

I go into a store with a child. I need to buy stamps to mail a card, and I’m surprised to see a rack of cards inside the store, similar to the cards I’ve seen at work – but these are ones we haven’t yet received. The child finds a coloring book, one with a picture on one side and a blank piece of paper on the other. The goal is to draw the image on the blank page to the best of your ability. The child challenges me to a drawing contest; my sheet has an image of a sandwich with celery sticking out of it. I start to draw, but someone reaches over and writes a few sentences, which I also need to copy. The sentences, a conversation, include one person saying I love you, the other person repeating it, and the first person saying that they love the second person more, the second person saying that they love the first person more, and the first person saying that they love Lord of the Rings. I try to write down the words, but I either write them too big, or spell things wrong, or don’t write in a straight line – I just keep messing up, and by that time the child has finished, and I realize that I still haven’t bought stamps, and am going to be late.
