modern streets

I dreamt that I was heading back to a friend's condo downtown. We were both in a cab, but for some reason I decided to get out. My friend MB was going to continue to take the cab home, much easier and zero effort, and I decided to run across streets and walk through construction areas. When I first got out, I had that feeling that sometimes happens in dreams when you can't move like you would like, but I gathered my will and my thoughts and darted across the street before traffic could reach me.

The streets and sidewalks were getting redone. All street lights had been removed and there were now lights on the corner ramps telling you whether to walk or not, as well as in the streets. There were lines of lights on the sides and middle of the streets that would change color to let you know to slow down or to continue. It looked so much cleaner and pleasant.

I was about a block away now from MB's and walked by a roundish policeman. He was talking to a machine. It was a mobile ATM that was made of one large sphere and a few smaller ones mimicking feet I suppose, more in an R2D2 sort of way. The whole thing was a clear blueish plastic. The policeman was training it to learn the areas and to react to its environment. Soon it could be independent and "know" where to be on certain times of day or during certain events.

I arrived at MB's. We were immediately in the midst of making peanut butter cookies. M & I kept nibbling at the dough, while his partner was quickly rolling it into ball to bake and send on out of our reach. He was on a health kick and this was kryptonite.

M was on the phone and gave someone from our past a quote from me saying that "Calvin Kline has gone wrong."   I was a gasp.  No, I said... I love Calvin's stuff.
