Dream #1

I found myself at an African-American family reunion at a community pool. I was following a woman through the crowd who wasn’t wearing pants because I was busy carrying them. They were red, faux leather pants that I put into a dumpster as we walked closer to the pool. At one end of the pool, Nick Cave was setting up and doing a sound check. He began to play music from his Birthday Party days and his early Bad Seeds days. The crowd was not into it, but Nick went off anyway. After his last song, he jumped into the pool. He looked up at me and told me, “Do it anyway.” The dream ended there.
