I was driving home, up my street, and coming out of my driveway and past me was a tan-colored Buick or some type of similar car. I didn't get a good look at the driver, but I thought it was someone I knew and didn't like. When I got to my driveway, I noticed that the front of our house had been painted - green, no less - and I couldn't figure out why. I parked and went to the front door, but realized that the front door had been covered by several boards that were nailed across the entire front entryway of my house. I started to freak out because I didn't know why this had happened, or who had done it, and I began pulling at the boards to get to the front door. The outermost board came off relatively easily, then the other boards, once dislodged, followed. In between the last board and the front door - which had remained intact and unscratched by the nails from the boards - was a dead body. It didn't scare me that there was a dead body; it rolled out when I pulled the boards forward and landed on its stomach, on top of the boards, with a knife in its back.
There was a scene here at college, but I can't remember any details at all.
I was in a little college town with shops, restaurants and street vendors milling about. Cars were allowed to drive through the area but they had to go so slowly because people were just walking into the streets to get around. I saw three children that I was supposed to be watching dart into the street without looking to see if any cars were coming, and then they went into a shop on the corner. I followed them, rounded them up, and lectured them on why it was important to look left, right, then left again before crossing the street, and they promised they would do so in the future, but I didn't believe that they would. I walked back across the street to where a friend of mine was waiting for me and lamented the fact that my job was pointless because these kids that I was supposed to look after just did whatever they wanted to these days. My friend agreed with me, then we went into a nearby store where we knew the owner. I put on a pair of my favorite jeans, but they had a hole on the left inner thigh where the seam had split. I asked my friend and a guy sitting in the store if it was really noticeable that there was a hole in my jeans, and the guy immediately responded yes while my friend took a minute longer to respond - also, "yes," - because she was checking herself out in the enormous mirror on the wall.
