I'm with my mom, who is driving. We're taking my dogs to some doggy park that is up high on a hill; I think I've been there before, but I don't quite remember the directions. Mom gets out to check a sign or ask someone, and we go out to the end of a road.

This dog play area is a sandy beach (though being so high up on the hill seems impossible), and there is snow on the ground too. The sunlight so bright I can hardly tell which is sand and which is snow. The dogs are excited, and go run and play.

It gets dark, and mom has left. Nobody is around. I walk back toward the car with the dogs, through an area where they should be leashed, but since I am alone I let them run. I stop on the steps of a school.

But then people start coming with their dogs on leashes, on the way to the park. As each person comes, I have to apologize awkwardly for my dogs running loose. Then a car comes up the narrow path (or driveway) where people are walking their dogs, really slow. Sydney and Charlie and another dog are running loose, between the car an the fence, and I don't think the driver can see them very well. A lady nearby asks if that is a certain dog, by name, but I don't know what to answer because I don't know that dog.

The car turns out to be a police car, and there are two cops who seem really angry. One of them demands that somebody obtain a candle, and there is talk about a certain joke song by a joke band. The cops say they will ask each one of us until they determine who did it, although I don't know what the crime was. Something about the candle? The memory of a woman who is now dead? The joke song?

The police have us sort of corralled in a large room, a number of people with their dogs, and they start asking each of us if we saw anything. At first they ask the people on either side of me, but when they get to me I say I don't think I saw anything, but I don't even know what we're talking about. The cop starts explaining about the joke song again, and I say yes I understand that song, but what is the problem? And what about the candle?

Somebody near me whispers that I should just tell them that I've inexplicably lost a lot a weight lately. Then they'll think I have 'Thai TB'. That doesn't seem like a very good idea, and I'm not sure if he's joking or what.
