Quote context

[...]

- You know how dreams are.

- You were there in bed, but you were a girl, about 10... and very pretty, too.

- I shook you and... the moment you opened your eyes, you hopped out of bed and started running like the devil. In your nightgown!

- You ran out the window, over the tops of buildings and roofs for miles and I was chasing you.

- All the time you were running, you kept growing bigger and bigger and bigger. Soon you were as big as you are now, you know? Grown up?

- And all the time I kept asking myself: What am I chasing her for? And I didn't know.

- Isn't that a hot one?

- Well, anyway, you ran into some place and I ran in after you. When I got there, you were getting married.

- The nightgown had changed into a beautiful wedding gown.

- You sure looked pretty, too.
