I was at an old mall outlet somewhere, and discovered Alfred Hitchcock had opened a shop. He was alive, and working in it. He showed me a toy rifle that was wooden and painted in primary colors. He said the best thing about it was that if you put your mouth to it like you were killing yourself and breathed in, its insides funneled the air in such a way that it helped you breathe a lot better, and was great for people with breathing problems. 

I just have bad sinuses, but this thing made me feel like a kid again, it helped me breathe so well. I came back in the store several times to sample it, and Hitchcock started poking fun at me for how many times I did it.

His store was mostly empty on the inside, except for some boxes and some things at the register, but the front of it was full of things, and interesting. The only things I remember clearly were holograms that you could purchase. You could have a holographic christmas tree that looked real until you noticed it was translucent and you could put your hand through it, or a holographic radio tower about the size of the christmas tree.

I finally offered to buy the toy gun because it helped me breathe so well, and Hitchcock was complaining that he'd been trying to sell it for months. It was expensive for a toy gun; $20, but worth it to me. I took it home to the old house of my childhood and showed it to my mom. She said it was interesting, but didn't trust it because Alfred Hitchcock sold it to me.  

At some point I began to dream that I had dreamt all of this because there was an infommercial on about toy guns with previews to a Hitchcock movie on in between. (I don't even actually have a TV in my room.) I was surprised to find though, that I still had the toy gun, as though I had managed to hold on to it from the dream dimension into reality (which of course was still a dream.) 

Additional Comments:

I haven't seen a Hitchcock movie in ages. I think it's funny how my mind just pulls these things out of nowhere sometimes. 

Zombies Again, Ft. Marilyn Manson and the Screaming Trees

I was at a show in the mid-90s, and The Screaming Trees were opening for Marilyn Manson. I thought this made no sense, but it didn't occur to me that I was dreaming.

Between acts, Marilyn Manson took the lead singer of The Screaming Trees, and made it look like he was tearing out his organs to get him off the stage. This excited the zombies in the audience, who started attacking regular fans who weren't zombies.

There was then a stampede to get out of there, and authorities had to divide up the zombies and regular people to control the violence and make sure no one got trampled. There were far more regular people than zombies, and the regular people were made to line up in rows and columns on a field outside, and march army-style towards the exit at the end of the field to keep things orderly. The zombies were sent off to different authorities to do the same.

Since the zombie line was much shorter, I started pretending to be a zombie so I could get sent to that area instead. It worked, and I felt very proud of myself, until I realized that the zombies would know I was alive and probably try to eat me in their current frenzy state.

I admitted I was faking it and stayed in line.
