Mixed Protest
I'm on a bus. M.F. is driving, which I think is just a coincidence. I'm with someone again, but I don't know who. I think we catch up a bit but don't talk as much as we should. But I think we both have the same destination -- we're both planning to go to the Brooklyn bridge.

I eventually get there (I think M.F. Somehow gets there before me). There's the biggest protest happening. Someone makes a comment that there's like 67% of the 99% on the bridge right then, I look at all the people and it's completely full... It's amazing. The power and energy is really high. I feel really excited about it, but it's also really intense.

There's supposedly a lot of cops, but I only see protesters. Later in the dream (it feels like another dream with the same setting -- feels like way later) I go back to the bridge and there's no one there but cops. I see a 3rd person view of the cops setting up and knowing what to do this time. It's really disturbing.

Then I'm in the city. It's more like Olympia or even Portland than New York. There are only people partying and being drunk on the streets, running around. I think I walk around the street and don't really want to go anywhere. Then I run into N.H. in his cop costume. We go to the bridge, I think, and then... He parks at a diagonal, gets out and he just stands there and looks like a cop. Then a bunch of real cops come right up to him and ask him what he's doing, and he calmly states that he's impersonating an officer for fun. They start writing him a ticket and I walk away.

Before that was a dream where I was on a road. I'm travelling somehowbut I don't remember driving at all. I go to a convenience store. I really want a coca-cola and an apple. I think I could only get one or the other. I somehow work out a deal where I can get both.

I step outside. The apples are outside. The clerk's really confused that I want to pay for something then go outside and grab it.
