description: Every night when she goes to sleep a woman dreams of erotic encounters with different men. She dreams of being the sponge squeezed to foaming in a gas station attendant's hand and of twining her bare skin with a sea lion's thick pelt under the watchful eye of the sea lion trainer. From a gas station attendant to a sea lion trainer a watchmaker to a teacher a furrier to an astrologer each evening's new encounter is more sensual and extravagant than the last.
