Had three detailed dream segments last night. One had me in a dangerous part of a town trying to catch a subway. I was with my family--wife and three kids. We had come there in the daytime, but now it was late at night and I wasn't really clear on where to catch the subway, which one too catch, and in which direction. I was reluctant to ask for directions since the people on the street seemed more likely to try and rob us over helping us out. There was a part of the dream where we were down on a platform waiting for a train. Somehow the kids and wife got separated from me. They had gotten on a train, but I had held back thinking it wasn't the right one. The door closed and left me standing on the platform. I signaled to the wife and kids to get off at the next station and wait for me there (not sure how I did that, but that's what it felt like I managed to do).

In a second segment, I was still in the subway tunnels. I had made my way to a hub terminal where there were trains going in all directions. There were some kids hanging around the terminal. They were making designs or patterns on the floor using coins and odd objects (marbles, rings, jewelry, etc.). The designs were quite intricate. Every now and then someone would see a coin or object, stop to pick it up, and then notice the larger pattern or design. In all cases, they would put the object back in place and nod to the kid making the design. Sometimes, they would give the kid more coins or objects to add to the pattern. I remember thinking that the designs were clues to some mystery that people were trying to solve.

The final segment also took place on a subway platform. There were crowds of people and groups of them were doing dance-like things to pass the time. The group I was near was doing pushups and other exercise-style movements. I joined in and discovered that if I hooked my feet under a pipe of bench support that I could float my body off the floor. It felt like I was levitating. My feet were anchored and with little effort I could extend my body and lift it off the ground--and stay in that position. It was easy to do and very energizing.

Been a full, long day. Went to the old movie house tonight. We saw Beat the Devil and African Queen (Bogart movies, directed by Huston, with various cast members--Lolabrigida, Bikel, Morely, Lorrie, Hepburn, etc.). Delightful movies.

Time to post this post and sign off for the night. Incoming--dreams.
