She's having a dream about a bad first date. The horrible kiss at the end of the night is the wrap part.

Looks good. Im a big Lynch fan myself, but am very wary of movies that are strange for the sake of being strange. I liked the whole sequence of the gasmask person, but the main character's behavior just seems strange and surreal, which is obviouly your intention. I guess I feel like there should be at least one character for the audience to relate to whose actions and emotions mirror those of real human beings.

Thanks for watching and the feedback. I was thinking it was more symbolic than strange for the sake of strange, but I can see how that came across as just strange for the sake of strangeness. I could totally see where you're coming from with the relatable character point as well. That way the audience doesn't feel completely alienated from what is happening in the film. Good point.
