i dreamed it was november and i was in the grey misty woods alone, looking for a christmas tree. i didn't need a saw because for some reason the trees had all been cut in the summer and then buried in mulch and moss to overwinter. it made it very hard to find the perfect tree because you had to kind of kick the dirt and wood chips off the trunk and then pull, pull, pull so hard to unearth it completely and then if it wasn't right you had to re-bury it. at some point i became aware of the fact that it was nearly dark and starting to rain and a entire tourist bus had unloaded and everyone was running through the woods trying to find the best tree before anyone else. i gave up, found a giant nurse log laying on the forest floor, and laid behind it away from the crowd, thinking in the morning i would awake and try again.
