The dream opens at night with Suzy on the outside of her friend’s house standing on the lawn looking at the front door. After a moment, she slowly climbs up the steps, crosses the wooden porch and enters the house. Entering the darkly lit house, Suzy’s friend meets her and together they transverse down a hallway and into her friend’s bathroom. Inside the bathroom, Suzy asks her friend how her mother was doing; to which her friend replied that her mother was dead, and that she had killed herself in that very same bathroom.

Taken aback by what she had just heard, Suzy looked around the bathroom for signs of a suicide. But after glancing over each wall and seeing the bathroom spotless and clean, there were neither signs of blood anywhere, nor any evidence of suicide. Seeing Suzy looking around the bathroom, the friend said, “I cleaned the bathroom after my mother’s death.”

At this point in the dream, the bathroom suddenly changed from the bathroom in her friend’s house to Suzy’s own bathroom. Yet, even through this fast transition, Suzy said, she had the feeling that she and her friend were still standing in her friend’s bathroom. The only difference between the two bathrooms was that the bathroom where they now stood was painted a bright white and the bathroom door was opened against the wall, hiding the inside surface of the bathroom door.

Suzy’s friend walked over, closed the bathroom door which now revealed a blood-stained door. Not responding to the blood covering the inside of the door, Suzy’s friend picked up a white towel, walked over and joined her in the middle of the bathroom. Uneasy seeing the blood, Suzy stood in the center of the room and simply continued to stare at the bloody surface of the door.

Silently standing next to each other. Suzy friend finally turns to says, “I’m going to wipe the blood off.” Then quietly taking the towel she starts to wipe the blood off the door, as Suzy watches. Yet, try as she may she cannot remove the blood, but only is able to smear on the surface of the door. Confused, Suzy continues to watch her friend try to wipe the blood off the door, but suddenly wakes up out of the dream.
