I'm at a thrift shop, WIN, I think, somewhere between here and there, I'm going to say Red Deer not Red Deer. More an antique or junk shop, and I'm there with my son and my father, treasures galore...I'm on the main floor, collecting antique candlesticks, there's a a glass display case filled with beautiful things, I've set my candlesticks down, looking at vintage watches, all sorts, I'm laying aside a pile, rarities and brands I've never seen before...
Looking through the case, then upstairs, another glass case, and now I'm finding expensive fountain pens, Mont Blancs, all sorts of designs, new, in the box, I can't keep up with all the treasures, and as quickly as I'm piling them up they're disappearing, and I'm getting a little panic-stricken, can I afford them all? And where are they going to?
My father, he's had enough, he wants us to hurry, get out of here, time to continue onwards to our destination, ...

I'm somewhere and I hear from Lance - an old friend I haven't seen since University. He looks different, older, unrecognizable. We're going to go out, only at the moment I'm between 2 apartments, both half unpacked and filled with treasures, so I tell him I just want to go home, pick up my shoes, I'll meet him after...
Rooting through my belongings, half-packed or unpacked boxes...
Going to leave when a snake, small, venomous, bites me on the heel - I check; it hasn't punctured the skin, I should be fine, but my chance to meet Lance, it's gone...
***
A nap, later in the day, picks up on the same dream, Lance with a friend of his, tall, good looking African/American musician, we're in my other apartment, my Calgary one, and I'm looking for something to prepare for them...

I was sleeping and I heard some music that I liked - and asking the boy he tells me it's "Manchuria - Firefly", and I go to write it down and find that I've already made a note of it...
I woke to find I had been dreaming, and searched for the song on YouTube, idle hope, there's an artist named Firefly, and some old Soviet songs with "Manchuria" in the title, interesting, but none what I'd dreamt I'd heard...

That I'm coming up out of a cave, deep, dark, but on arriving at the entrance find it flooded, water shimmering, there's some light penetrating deep beneath it and I'm hesitant but begin to swim out to dive for the entrance, only before I can dive I'm pulled under...

I'm at an antique store, looking around, I haven't been for a while...*(haven't been ever)
They've some sort of antique roller coaster, with loops and twists, small but high, bright and red, only $700...I should buy this, it would be great...
...and talking to the dealers, the owners, they lay aside certain days and designate themselves part of the City or Country and do exhibitions, not for money, ...
The owner, she's complaining, she just bought a train set and hasn't had a chance to set it all up and get it working so she's going to put up the sign that they're part of Canada and lay aside a day to do it...
People coming, people going, I'm recognizing old dealers...
Little G***, and she's got a couple of parcels assembled she wants to pick up, take, and the owner wants to be paid, and she's getting annoyed, I just pay for it but it doesn't seem to appease her...
Now, trying to leave, but I can't find my boots, one only, and lots that are similar, and I'm sorting through them trying to find the match to my boot, they're everywhere, in the entryway, in the back, I'm having no luck but I'm not going anywhere until I find my other boot...
In the back there's a corner, and I recognize an old puppeteer, he's getting ready to put on a show - the "Something something" puppet show, he's complaining about the owner, he's cheap, from England, and he's setting up a donation jar so he can get some tips and I'm wishing him the best...
And it's back to looking for my other boot...
