"How funny... I've never had a dream affect me in this physical world as much as the ending of this one... I laughed even as I recorded it in the morning..." David Mulhern

It was night in what seemed like Hollywood. As show was being taped. I was at the top of a water slide watching the show as it was being produced. It was called, "Who's the strongest" or something like that.

In this part of the show, the contestants were supposed to lift up someone, holding their feet, and slide down the water slide without falling. The contestants were really strong, I didn't really like the show. The first few went down fine. One guy had to take another guy down and they fell right away. He was really pissed off.

At the bottom of this water slide, I sat on a small wall and listened. The ones that didn't make it were truly pissed off. I listened as they talked about a girl, and how strange she was. They said, "she looks like a truck stop.."

She walked up. She looked like a skater with her strange short dark hair and dark outfit. She wasn't very pretty.

She sat down next to me on the little wall. "Hey, can I sit here..."

I said, "Yeah."

"I'm just going to go inside and go to the bathroom..." She said. I thought it was strange how she sat down, then said that.

I told her I would save her spot. She just looked at me.

"Oh, okay... I'm Love." She said her name.

"I'm David." and then I told her about how I ended up there. I told her I was just out for a walk and I heard them talking and I just walked in. I said I was from west Hollywood. I was lying.

Another girl came over. A typical blonde anoying girl that would be in this type of a show. And she sat down on my right.

She said, "That's kind of wierd, that you'd look it up in the paper and then come here..."

I told her I was just out for a walk... I'm from west Hollywood. I was more confident about my lie the second time around.

And we were just sitting there. I looked up at the sky. The stars were up there. The clouds were truly amazing. And I said something about how amazing the clouds were, the way they contrast the darkness. It was truly something. We all settled in together and looked at the sky and talked about it. I had my arms around them... I felt completely calm.

The lights from the buildings of LA were tremendous and amazing. I mentioned how strange it was to be able to see the stars so well, with the smog of LA. Suddenly, the smog became thick and I could see search helicopters light up the buildings with their spotlights. It became overwhelming. And the stars became harder to see and the smog became thicker and I realized I would have to leave... I fuond it hard

And outside the house the sun was shining so brightly. And at the top of this hill on the side of the house another show was being taped. It was kind of like "Blind Date" but you would have to do stunts.

And there was this indian guy, and inside a metal trashcan was a typical girl. And he started rolling the trashcan but there was this piece of metal over the top of the can that she kept cutting herself on. I could see she was in pain.

Her voice over came over the scene. "And as soon as I hit the shit I knew the date was over..." and I could see feet in what looked like mud. She was so upset as she got out of the trashcan and her face was bleeding from the exposed metal. "And then he pinched my ass..." and I could see him slap her ass as she got up.

She left the scene and got in her Jeep. I was in the street watching her leave. Suddenly they cut to zebras then a pack of rhinoceros were running towards me. I tried to climb over the bails of hay when I realized they were going to kill me...

In the real world I found myself climbing out of bed, my adrenolin levels high. I was alone in my room in the dark laughing...
