Summary
In this third Dreamy Audio entry, Lewis Moten describes a city dream that moves from anticipation to disorientation. Mechanical cars glide between buildings on cables, undergo strange tests behind glass, and set an uneasy, observational tone before the dream shifts into a crowded, unexpected party.
At the party, social rules blur: a minor movie star questions who belongs, small social circles are compared, and the evening resolves into a surreal act of shared convenience—a blue “kindness truck” ride where everyone goes along, knowing the motives, just to keep moving.

Well, it’s Sunday morning and I just woke up. I dreamt last night about I was going to get to this party or something. I got a phone call to go. It was somewhere in the middle of the city. So I parked my car and I was in this building across the street. I looked out and I saw folks wagon beetles or the new bugs on the side of the building. And they were in a display but they were also going, there was some kind of mechanical setup that had cars going around each other and up in the air, down. And they would go across from one building to the next. But they were being attached to some kind of cables.
And then I looked behind me and there was this room with two cars and a big giant piece of glass that I could see inside. I never been tested or something, like when tested. You could see like the buildup of dirt or silt.
I have no idea why they were being tested or anything but that’s just what was going on. And then I went into the place where the party was and it turns out that was like some kind of movie star. She wasn’t overly popular but she had some importance. And I sat down and it seemed like a lot of people were at this party. At the end of the party she was asking how she knew me or who invited me or something. And I told her I wasn’t invited by her father.
And she said she only had a small list of like five people that were supposed to show up at this party. But I thought that feeling to find people. It’s a pretty small world you have there, but you know, I have the same problem here. I don’t have that many people that I know personally.
Anyway, I’m telling some movie star that she has a bad life, anyway. Anyway, somehow it gets to the point where if I get my brother to come and meet us, and he showed up with two of his friends, and she and I, my brother, his two friends, on the side of the road, and we stopped in this kindness truck. It was a blue truck, and we all got in. The movie star woman sat in the truck with him. I sat in the back with one of my brother’s friends, and then my brother and his other friend sat in the front of the truck, which in the dream there was like a pickup truck.
Instead of a hood, it was another back end that you could sit in. It was weird. Then the guy I was sitting in the back with couldn’t believe it. This guy was giving this movie star girl some really bad pickup lines and stuff. I was like, well, it’s the same thing you probably do.
You pretty much understand. He was like, well, something along the lines came across with every guy just out to get something. And he understood that he would be out to get something too. But I figured she just went along with it so that we could all get a ride. I think that’s my limit for today.
