I was driving in a car with a woman that I didn’t know. I believe that we were leaving a party or some sort of function. She was not driving very well and at some point veered off the road but managed to not kill us. She was talking about tomatos and how she was buying this very particular type of tomato that had been treated a special way to prevent sickness and disease. It simply was that the tomato was left with the stem attached and that stem was heated with fire until it turned yellow. Somehow, this caused the tomato to become cleansed. I didn’t understand how this was possible so, as we drove up this road, I suggested that we stop at this upcoming farm.

When we got there, there was a line of people. I saw Larry and Angela standing in line so I went up to ask them if they’d heard of such a thing. Angela didn’t but introduced me to the woman behind her who was some sort of vegetable expert. As it turned out, they were standing in line because they were waiting for darshan from this guru who was speaking. There was a crowd of people sitting and listening to him and what was going on. I read his name but didn’t understand it when it was spoken too me. I think it was Lakshmi, but I’m not sure. The tomato seemed to drift away from the conversation as we spoke of this Indian philosophy but I don’t remember any more.

I was driving down a freeway, literally down, at about a 6% grade. I wanted to go much faster than I was but there were kids all around me… they seemed to be walking while I was driving on a very large 5 lane freeway. I know I was doing at least 40mph but it wasn’t fast enough and whenever I tried to pass someone, someone else would get in the way. It was really annoying. Everyone was dressed in bright colours and seemed to be in their later teens and early twenties.

I finally reached the bottom of the hill. I realized that I had been talking to Mel on the phone and explaining my traffic frustrations with him. When I turned off after finding the driveway to the amusement park, Mel was in my truck with me and we were talking. I wasa subtley trying to talk him into going to the park and having fun with me because I knew that he was going to go home. I paid for entrance and was going to park the truck. Mel was still saying that he should go home and I was still trying to tell him to go with me and I would get him home at a reasonable time.
