In
 a pub with a group of friends. A romantic proximity with Kevin 
(Thurston). Standing against a wall in the pub, faces close, laughing. 
Someone reveals they need to blind me--someone other than Kevin, I 
think. At first the man tries to explain why in the pub. I imagine 
accessing all my other senses, what it would be like to be blind, the 
possible claustrophobia or panic. Then there is strangely some appeal. I
 am not as afraid as you would think. Outside, a van full of women, one 
of whom is Lisa Gross, a college friend I haven't seen for 30 years. I 
am obviously preoccupied and am in a hurry to leave. This reoffends the 
college friend, and she disappears into the pub, as I apologetically 
look at the remaining group of women. I begin to fly, albeit awkwardly 
at first, to get away from the man that wishes to blind me. Then I am 
flying full force, 20 feet above the ground. I stop in front of a 
building, perhaps where Lee (Gough) lives as I am trying to get to her. 
He has caught up with me, explains why I must be blinded. It makes 
sense, and I wake.
