Last night I think I was in a school type situation when this kid showed up, interrupting our class. He apparently had been raped, someone said, but was now reluctant to admit it. It was my job to use a "rape kit" to determine whether or not he had been raped. He was lying on an examining table, obviously in pain, taking labored breaths. Now since I've never seen a rape kit, but have heard of it sooooo many times on Law and Order: SVU, my subconscious mind created one for me. It consisted of three small items all the same shape. They were of three different materials and all shaped like little half spear-heads. Two of them were a kind of thick paper and one was a sand paper. I had to swab the inside of this guy's butt. He was in his twenties, dark short hair. I don't remember seeing him naked, but I still somehow had access to his bum to swab. I remember that the swabs were wet after each swipe (though I couldn't actually see myself making the swipe).

Later, we are investigating the rape ("we" consists of a group of my schoolmates, none of whom I know in conscious life) in a loft apartment building. The ugly mean "hack" from Oz, the woman who has sex with all the inmates and gets pregnant, lives there. Her apartment is connected to an art gallery, for some reason and my dream self is really surprised, and thinks maybe it's just a coincidence and that she doesn't really have anything to do with the gallery.
