Dreams

1. Some family member hands me a long, white envelope filled with silver Kennedy half dollars.
   
   
   
2. I go to a place that I have learned about on the Internet. I’m building a model railroad, it seems, and this place is an exchange for hobbyists. A map shows that it is located in a canyon. I drive to it. The exchange is located along the side of a steep road, across the street from the home of the web site owner. When you have something to exchange, you attach it to a long string. It seems that a lot of people have been by lately, adding all kinds of things to the string. I climb the hill a long way before I come to the end where I can attach the model railroad cars I have brought. As I reach for the string, however, it begins to pull away. I run after it while an African American family watches me from their backyard on the other side of the arroyo. The string pulls into a small roundhouse and out of my reach. I can’t leave my offerings there.
