I'm walking up a road with the student I currently work with at a high school. A tractor trailer is coming down the road and its misting, almost like a light freezing rain. My student is lazily walking and grinning to himself and I pull him out of the path of the truck.

Then we end up at a picnic, at least it looks like one. Now my student is gone and there are former co-workers here. One man whom I worked with from 1997--2003 is there and he has one of those greeting cards that "talks." He shows me the cover and says it's a "dangerous chicken." It's actually a pic of Big Bird. He hands it to me and tells me to deliver it to the picnic table where another former co-worker of mine from a longer time ago is sitting with a man and a little girl (I assume its her daughter).

I hand her the card and she opens it and it says in a low male voice "I get naked. I build the world." Someone nearby practicing his golf swing says "I don't get it." I say that I will take the card back to find out what it means. The little girl, who is wearing a pink frilly dress, hugs my waist and holds on while I walk back to the man with the card.
