I dream I am working at a food court at the Coney Island boardwalk, and Bill Cosby is talking to a young man. I can’t hear exactly what they’re saying, but the young man appears skeptical. He doesn’t understand why Cosby is interested in him or why he wants to talk to him. Cosby is passionate, however, and he informs the young man that he loves him. The young man does not believe it.

I dream I at a combination mall/movie set in which a blur between art and life is being filmed. A combination of Tom Cruise and an emaciated John Travolta play the villain in a movie about thought vampires who can influence what people think and make them do whatever they want. Young girls want to be in their thrall. I, instead, escape into a school bus with my father. My father is driving erratically and wants to go to a Dunkin Donuts. He parks in an overwrought manner and I am unnerved.

I dream I am working with Penelope Cruz in a very sexy play. I am doing the needle trick, but she insists I use finishing nails and dental floss instead of needles and thread. Then she wants to kick it up some. She takes off all of her clothes and we rehearse variations of different magic tricks while simulating lovemaking. In addition to the magic tricks, she shows me how to arrange loaves of bread in an aesthetic but apparently haphazard manner.

“Fred’s Dreams” appears every Wednesday.
