The raspberry dream

First of all, this was either the theme song to the dream or the first thing that came to mind when I woke up.

What I’ve wrote below is what I remember of a dream I had this morning. It was after a shower, after drinking a glass of water, etc. I lost some of the dreams randomness I think because I wrote it in a clear mind. When I woke up I hit the recorder on my phone and said what the dream was like, I personally think its more fun to listen to that. You can read do both… Here’s the recording:

The dream started in the afternoon at my dads house, I guess I just recently (in the morning?) planted a raspberry or blackberry field on top of the hill near the park where he lives. I was rummaging through his yard for a clean bucket to put the berries into but couldn’t find one. My family was all sitting out on the patio in the sun, I kept asking them where I could find a bucket, and they kept telling me different spots in the yard which when I arrived were either too small, or dirty to use. Eventually I was walking through the house and my brother had a big backpack which I thought would be great but he wouldn’t let me use it. He certainly didn’t need it for anything, but anyway I couldn’t have it. I ended up having to carry several small aluminum bowls (mixing bowls) and walk over to the park. I a sort of roundabout way to get there and arrived on… what is it 14th or 15th avenue and 52nd street near the sign, and started to walk up the hill from there. Suddenly it was dark, I got a call from Corey:

“yo lets go do something”

“sorry I can’t — working”

“man you’re always working”

“I’m almost done, I just have to pick these berries and I’m free”

“Alright call me later”

While it was dark before the phone call, now it was winter. There were christmas lights up in the trees, and a rather elaborate snow fort built where my berry bushes were. I went up the hill and met a little white kid (a boy — maybe 11~13?) putting finishing touches on the fort. I guess he built it, I saw some areas that looked pretty shitty so I helped patch them up. He built a snow turntable / DJ booth (this was maybe when that song came on?) I had a small chat with him, but don’t remember what about.

I turned around to go home, as I was walking down the hill I encountered Amanda and Lev (2 customers who just last night came to eat at Q) they asked me if I ever ate money. I said no, and she wrote me a cheque and pushed it in my mouth. I think that’s when I woke up.
