"Wouldn't That Be Nice"

""

By Jeremiah Christian ObermeyerPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

I had a dream I went down Lincoln Road. I went to some kind of huge mansion and laid out tarps. I guess there were several floors. I went outside and sat on the grass. I guess we looked at the buildings across the street and imagined renting them. I eventually walked down the road and went to some kind of restaurant to pick up a order. I might have brought it back then forgot my salmon lock sandwich. I went inside and I thought the guy was joking with me. He reminded me of a past coworker. I saw what looked like some kind of frosty salmon locks but he handed me some kind of huge flat piece of bagel. It had nothing on it. I got upset but walked out anyways. Once outside the employee came running out and gave me another order. I guess it was a normal sized bagel to go with my over sized bagel bottom. I started walking home and they kept trying to cable out a crane cable or something. I eventually walked by a parking lot in Worcester. I guess I bought my green car there and traded it in. I saw several cars double parked with metal litter down the road. I guess the junk yard employee recognized me and came running after me. I saw some kind of car with a veteran plate drive by. I guess the junk yard guy gave me a set of wicked thin silver looking brass knuckles. We went into a building he managed or something and got a tour. I guess I saw a huge five foot by five foot rectangular block of green stone on a thirty or forty degree shelf. The stone was cut on the corner starting with a small missing triangle and lead up to a large missing corner triangle. It was hanging over the edge and engineered so it wouldn't fall. I saw a small tree in a pot next to it. I guess we got shown some kind of fire enclosure area before going outside. They mention some kind of company that had affiliations with a local lake commission. I saw hundreds of square stones with short grass growing up between the cracks. We walked under some kind of construction area and it looked like shit all over the ground. It looked dark under the edge of the building. I realized the material was mud once I stepped onto it. We eventually met a old guy that claimed to be a war hero. I guess someone did research and they said he wasn't the guy he claimed to be but someone else at the battle. They went on to talk about how some kind of psychologist with them was accused of doing experiments on people. They suggested the guy might have actually been the guy he claimed to be but with a brain transplant. We went to some kind of building and walked around. I guess it had the history of presidents. We eventually started to leave and said “too bad Lincoln wasn't still around to solve this veteran affair!” Just then a black security guard we vaguely noticed before said “Wouldn't that be nice.” I guess Morgan spent his life working in the building and barely got the attention he deserved. He handed us a heart shaped locket and I realized his hair looked exactly like george washington's hair. We went up into some kind of high part of the building. They talked about adding one more floor level but they couldn't solve the decorative stone problem. Someone with me pressed some area and it opened to a manhole cover in a street. They started talking about adding a couple floors, then they said they might as well build an entire building.
