Barreira do Inferno, Natal
Steve and I are with George. He is driving along this very curvy road, too fast, of course. It's supposed to be Natal but it looks more like a swamp or marsh along the edge of the road. George is talking about developing the area. ??? Then we come out on a high cliff. It's supposed to be Barreira do Inferno, but the cliffs are very high, and the waves, instead of coming in perpendicular to the cliffs, are rushing alongside them, very fast, very high, like a tsunami? I am terrified. I've never seen anything like it. The rush of the waves is overwhelming. I am alone, stuck on a narrow spit of the cliff where some kind of construction? is going on to fortify the cliffs, big round stones being dumped to slow erosion. How will I get the hell off this?
Then I am walking, like I have come back to see these waves again. I am headed back to town... Natal??? And I see Kathy... all dressed up as always. Some how I get a ride with her. I now have Cricket with me, and she has a tiny kitten. Cricket needs to go to the bathroon, but I know she will not use the small litter box in the car. I am worried she has crawled out holes in the bottom of the car. We have parked on a lower cliff to watch more waves. But it is like the tide is coming in, and a big wave washes up over and brings a huge amount of water to wash over a place where it obviously does a lot. There is some kind of small town in the background. Some how the cats are swept away in something like a shopping cart. Kathy asks me if I had known the water would do this, but of course I had no idea. I rush after the cats and the cart and pull it out of water. The little kitten is OK, tho' there is a dead rat in the cart next to it. I can't see Cricket. Then I see her straight up a mud cliff, about to go into the brush. I climb up quick and grab her tail and pull her down. Then it's a black cat. ??? All this is very frightening to me and very stressful. I wake up and do not want to go back into these dreams

Dream Snatches
Just little snatches of longer dreams:
I'm driving with my mother in a car. The road tops a steep hill, and then....nothing.. It drops straight down. I have to use all my POWERS to keep the car from crashing at the bottom. Somehow I am able to bring the car back up to a ledge in the cliff. I swear, Fuck you, at the road, the cliff, whatever.
Stan and Sylvia have this 3-year-old boy that they've given away to someone else, because they can't take care of it properly, because it hasn't spoken in 3 years. I am astonished, and ask them, how could they keep a secret like this from all their friends. Why hadn't they told us? I ask about Alexia. Stan says the boy hasn't spoken because he was thinking things over.
