I dream I am waiting for a party to begin and I am sitting on the curb outside practicing a magic trick in which four popcorn kernels magically leave my left hand and reappear in my right. A young tough comes by and ridicules and insults me. I don’t like the ridicule and insult, but I am more upset that he does not want to see this beautiful magic trick. I try to explain this, but he insults me more and throws my popcorn kernels and punches me. I am concerned for my well-being, but I am still upset about the magic trick.

I dream I am in New York riding a horse and neighborhood toughs want to kill me. One pursues me on foot. My horse should evade him easily, but he is gaining on me. I need to get to the end of the block in order to escape and the horse is galloping but the thug is closing in. (I awaken with my heart racing.)

I dream I am on a campus/mall/theme park and Eric is interviewing me about magic. I start to explain the difference between a manipulator and an illusionist when a young tough jostles the seats we’re sitting in. I go over to talk to him. Eric tries to restrain me because he is afraid I am going to get us into trouble. When I get to the young tough, however, he knows my name. I say, “So, we know each other, eh? Well, let me ask you something. Why are you being a dick?” He says “I wasn’t being a dick,” and I say “Well, let’s try to be more pleasant next time.” Eric is relieved.

“Fred’s Dreams” appears every Wednesday.
