another day....

without work at Friends, though I will be there for the next two. This may be a good thing, because I can attend an important basketball game there, and will have some energy for the evening. Still, last night's dreams have me wondering.
  What happened? After two very productive sessions I felt tired, so I did not go to any of the hangouts suggested in the last blog, just grabbed a fat meal of chicken and rice at the cart near Lincoln Center, ateit at the Atrium, and headed home. Sounds like a good idea---since I was tired. By 8:30 I was asleep---then came the dreams:
  In the first, I am visiting what seems like a "camp" in the wilderness run by women---there is complete emptiness there, no towns nearby to get supplies, it seems like the camp is isolated---as if something happened, some catastrophe in the cities, and this is all of civilization that is left, or as if there is too much violence in the city and the women have moved here as a last resort---at any rate, the dream had a very barren look to it, and the women seemed resigned to fight for their survival, or, at any rate, live like this forever. There was a harsh emptiness there, and when I awoke, at about 12:30, I felt confused---angered by what I had dreamed ---why did I, after a fairly productive day---have this dream of a barren, scared world with people just holding on?

I stayed up for a while, then fell asleep again---the second dream is vaguer, but it seems to have something to do with someone violent with a gun---in the south or midwest---I felt I had to avoid this person, though, when we stopped at a gas station, he was right there. Like I said, it was vaguer than the first, but still full of anger. Why? What was it saying for me? Again, in my early hours of waking, I felt confused and hurt. Things are much better now, as I sit in the library, and have already gone to Friends to pick up my check but I spent much of the early morning stunned by the content of these dreams.
The basketball game is at 5:45---will be over about 7:30---I Must do something else afterwards---maybe head to the bar on 44th and tenth where both twins, two of my favorite servers, will be working. Other options--well we have gone through them all before, there is a trivia game at Pine Box Rock Shop which I played in early September, might want to take a chance on that again today.
At any rate, that is the situation as I move easily into the afternoon.
   Will report on new "adventures" soon.
