Dream

 I went to meet Anne Lamott. She was living in LA. In the dream we had been longtime pen pals yet I had never met her. After I arrived she sent me out to find a watermelon. I should've brought a house gift, I thought. I was worried that I wouldn't know how to find my way back to her apartment. Pay attention to the streets, she said. 

I got ensnared with some people and completely sidetracked. Then I ran into a childhood friend Philip and we were inside a building. He had just stolen the seat of a car and we were carrying it while trying to escape out the top of the building but the windows were too small. We got trapped by two undercover cops hiding behind a door.

 I said, this is my good friend Philip from childhood and we just bumped into each other after so many years. They were charmed and only fined him 100 dollars. Philip was not happy but I said, You got off easy! You could've been sent to jail.
