I dreamed I was waiting for a friend in a closed-down deli in a busy part of New York City. There wasn't much to do, but I found a sturdy pipe I could hang from, and I did one pull-up.

I was helping Ike Turner do research for a children's book he was writing because he didn't have a library card. He was somehow still able to pull cigarettes and glasses of whisky from the shelves. A good part of the dream was spent wondering why the library was so well-funded in the internet age.

Al and I were driving through some countryside where all the buildings were religious in nature, and all were competing to be the most visually impressive. One caught Al's eye because it featured a statue or monument he had seen in Europe, so we went in. Inside it was like a call center, with lots of people on headsets. One I noticed was a wheelchair bound man with dreads and big sunglasses. He had a paper with his name on it taped to his chest with the warning "Tends to expose self". We were confused and asked a cop what these people were doing. He explained that their job was to find people who looked like wanted criminals to appear in crime reenactments. The reward for doing so were small consumer goods, like board games or jigsaw puzzles, of which the building held a large supply.

I went to my childhood neighbors' home for the first time in years; since childhood. I needed to use their shower. They were having a small family gathering, I didn't recognize most of the people, in fact I didn't recognize Mr. P at first. He was much taller and had a heavy coat, in fact he's been dead for years. He poured glasses of Jameson's in the kitchen for a few people though I was not offered one. I told him how strange it was to be there after so long, and felt sad that my marriage failed and I had always lived in the United States. I went to the basement (now a finished rumpus room) and most of the conversation moved upstairs. I watched some TV (see following dream). I realized I didn't need or want to take a shower, but I went in the bathroom anyway. I moved a piece of wood that was keeping the door from shutting, and it caused a chain reaction of things in motion that ended by causing their breaker box labels (which were thick plastic, and custom made) to fall on the floor and break. I put them back as best I could but it was hopeless.

I watched a commercial. It was set in a pretty nice sidewalk cafe, though it was shot after dark. The camera panned around the place for a bit (it was empty of people), then cut to a shot of someone ladling thin gravy over something that had tuna in it. The jingle was women singing "You came in sexy, you want to leave as sexy as you can! We have Swiss and Tan Embosas!"

I had to talk to a television character known as "DJ Slice Nice". He was a lazy guy who laid on the couch, in sports clothes, holding a videogame control. When I went to talk to him, he said "Man, cap with your hoons", which I took to mean "skip any pleasantries and start with the most interesting part."

I was driving down St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans, where it turns into Carrollton Avenue, and I hit a lady and a baby riding a bike the wrong way down Carrollton. I woke up screaming.

I got a job where I had to commute an hour by train to a well-to-do lady's house. I was helping with a website or editing a manuscript. I had a hard time getting the lady to give me definite task but she was quite friendly. She kept suggesting we get a hamburger and a beer, but she didn't do that either. In the carpet of the house a game had been installed, there were little lenses with scenes inside and you had to put a puzzle together, using the scenes from different rooms. It seemed an extravagance.
The lady got busy doing laundry so I strayed into the very collegiate town where the lady lived. I went into a big bank skyscraper and watched people play complex gambling machines. I finally played, using a square slate-colored coin I found in the payoff slot marked "BAO DAO". I felt this coin was in the machine in error, but I played, and won, only my winnings were commingled with another players. He didn't win what he wanted either so he gave his prize back: a huge ice cream bar with sprinkles.
I wanted to go back to work but couldn't find the house. I went on the college campus, and found a map, but couldn't get close to it because a smarmy Izod-clad a capella group was singing nearby.

I was in a checkout line and l picked up a a small handful of nice, expensively printed (thick paper, deeply embossed) business cards that said (cards were vertically oriented, with type at one end):
KEN STABLER
TAX PREPARATION WORKSHEET
The joke being that Ken "The Snake" Stabler, besides being a renowned NFL quarterback, was also a brazen tax evader (this is not true to the best of my knowledge) and would only need a tiny space like a business card to work out his tax calculations, as he would not actually be doing any. I found these cards quite funny and picked up a handful to share with friends.

I had a lot of luggage and I was waiting for a flight in a big western wear shop with a bar in the corner. I sat at the bar, next to me was Glen Campbell. The bartender said something, and Glen Campbell answered it with a funny rhyme and I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS.
