There's a cockroach on the sole of one of my shoes (which I'm not wearing). Nervous, because I don't know if it's real or not. Feels like somebody's playing a trick on me. I go on Google and look up 3" cockroach, and find a page with a huge list, and pics. Some of them look close, but it's hard to tell. I don't know how to figure out if this thing is real or not without touching it.


I'm sitting on my metal bed in Edmonton. Chapman's there in front of me. There are insects everywhere, and I'm trying to get them off the bed. One of those large black ants is crawling up the side, and I'm flicking it off, but it keeps coming back up. There are two smaller ants mating, and every time I flick them, they fly in the air, and land back where they were. I'm freaking out, because these bugs won't leave.


Walking through an office building with a couple of girls I know. They're kind of showing me around. TB comes out of a room and joins us. We walk down the hall and get to a jog in the passage. There's a water fountain on the near side, and T stops to get a drink. The other two keep walking. I'm trying to make her laugh, and she's pretending to drink, but she's laughing. I want her to shoot water out her nose. We continue on, and all the lights and power goes out for a second. I know we've just been hit. We come out into another room, where lots of people are working. I know why I'm there, and how to get around the building. I tell the other two to leave the building, and T can come with me if she wants. We go into a coffee-break area, and I tell everyone to stay calm, and that they have to leave the building now. They can take the personal effects they have with them now, but not pick up anything else. Then we go into another room, with outside windows. I can see a reflection of our building in the glass of another one, and I see the giant gaping hole with flames coming out. We tell everybody to leave.

Then we're in an open carpark. I peer over the side. Then I start walking to the other end. I see some people down there, and I want to warn them. T is climbing along the edge; she wants to see over, and I'm worried because I think she'll fall off.

We get to the end of the lot. There are short walls on each side. We look up to see the burning building, but there's nothing there. There are a couple other buildings to the side, and they have fires in the walls. We need to get down, and there are fire escapes, but they're collapsible stairs, like on a stepladder, and they look decrepit. You have to pull a rope to get them to function, and then jump over and grab the place to climb down. Neither of us really feel safe doing that, so we don't know what to do. We go to the right edge, and look over. This one looks like it could work, and it's not that far down, so if we fell we wouldn't die. Then the whole thing is moving, we're zooming away, and about to run into a building. We don't know whether to jump off or not before we hit it. We get to the building, and pass right through it. It was just an illusion.
