Guitar and Travel

I was in a location like a park setting with a bunch of people hanging out. I was supposed to record a guitar track for some piece of music. We were outside and there were foldable chairs and such. I was trying to situate myself with a chair to make it most comfortable. Other musicians were there talking about music, etc. I was getting ready to record the part but then found myself walking along a route to get somewhere. There was a strange undercurrent to the dream that someone needed to fill a position to manage things and there just wasn’t that person available. I may have been walking because of that. It started that I flew to somewhere that seemed that it may have been New Jersey and I was going to visit Toby and Robert. I remember trying to find a bus stop. It was raining pretty heavily and I was really close to the bus stop when 3 different buses came up and left, which was a little annoying. I somehow managed to get to someone who helped me remember that I needed to take the bus to Jarvis. However, I found myself walking again because I didn’t want to call anyone to pick me up. I had to walk by some projects and there was a big gang fight going on. I was a little uneasy about this cos I was white, and everyone seemed to be dark skinned. I was also carrying a pretty heavy duffle bag, and carrying a large blue tarp what was wadded up in a big ball. I’m not sure why I was carrying it, but it was helping to conceal a fairly long kitchen knife that I was holding. I managed to get by the fight without bringing attention to myself. I got to a more populated area where the sidewalk went up into the buildings. I had to climb a lot of stairs. At one point, I did catch the attention of a youth who was heavily tattooed and apparently interested in what I was carrying. He followed me, so at some point, I made a very limber and accurate jump to show him that I may not be the person he wanted to mess with. Them, I subtly flashed the tip of the knife, and he ended up leaving. Still, there was always this feeling like there was a position that needed to be filled. Some person needed to be doing a job, and it was important.

Players: Me, tattooed guy
Events: Record guitar part, looking for bus in the rain, walking
Symbols: guitar, blue tarp, rain, knife, gang fight, bus
Thoughts: I was recording a guitar part for the Ho Hey song. When I was at the seat to record, it seemed that Doc Roberts from BSG was there. The position needing to be filled could have been BSG Agathon having to manage the Sagitterons. Walking and traveling in the rain and needing the bus felt familiar to me in some way. I had the knife and I was defensive.
