A car full of my friends & I went to pick up a boy whom I don't know at his home. It was an immense home. The rooms were divided by large pillars & we drove right into the house. It was quite a test of driving skill because the pillars were close on either side of the car. I talked to the boy's sister while the others went upstairs to get him. We heard the sound of footsteps outside & looked for prowlers. The wind howled. The boy was just back from the U--- of I--- & said he was D--- C---'s roommate. The sister had red hair & turned out to be only 14 after I thought she was my age. I woke up, looking for & expecting to find a prowler in my room. I went back to sleep & found myself selecting saddle leather handbags. The clerk was a girl who used to work for my Dad & whom I have seen several times recently. All the bags were soiled and marked down. The scene shifted to the dime store where I was selecting jade rings. They must have been made of candy, because I nonchalantly chewed one of them. One was the figure of a Mexican, another a turban-covered face. I was with an older woman I knew but cannot now identify. She was holding my watch for me. It was five o'clock & we couldn't put our call through to Italy since it was three o'clock there, and also because of the telephone strike. Interpretation I have been looking for a saddle leather bag, so that part of the dream seems simple enough. Why I should be calling Italy--I am not Italian nor do I have any Italian friends---is beyond me. D-- C-- was in a movie I had seen a few days before dreaming. I cannot explain the U-- of I--. -- I know no one there. The prowler incident terrified me & I did expect to see one in my room when I awoke. Answers to questions 2.
