Chapter 6,7,8

I don't recall much of what I read in chapter 6 because I read it almost a week ago and forgot to write down my thoughts. I remember Winston was writing in his journal about a dream he had in which he slept with a prostitute and how it reoccurred him as a nightmare.  Winston is not able to sleep with prostitutes or any of that sort of stuff because in the middle to upper-class. I can see that Winston is really starting to commit some thought crimes and has to be careful to not get caught by the  thought police.

Chapter  7 was Kindof a blur to me because it really jumped around with Winston thoughts and was tough to follow. Chapter 8 was a long chapter and it included Winston going over to the other side of the cities in which the proles  resided. Winston is taken some major risks when he goes into the prole bars and talks about the old man about what happened before revolution. I think that the dark-haired woman that Winston saw is trying to communicate with Winston that I think she is going to somehow play a role in going against the government with Winston. Also, when he visited the general store, where he bought his diary and met the owner of the store, he is really interested in the upstairs room. I think that that he's going to rent that room above the store at some point and use that to be meeting place for the revolution against government, just as Goldstein had a meeting place for the people who tried to revolt against government back then.
