Take The Money And Run?



October 20. I dreamt That I was in an antique shop or more like a flea market. owned by this one man,it was a dark and dusky place and indoors. While in that shop he had some Pachinko games, those arcade like Japanese pinball machines. I was playing with one when one ball landed in a hole, instead of a payoff of more balls...I reached in the payoff pocket and found some coins..some gold coins!

I put these in my pocket , but I realized it wasn't exactly fair pocketing this money when I didn't own the machines, they belonged to the caretaker and I told him, or at least I game him back some of the coins, I kept some. I guess he should know that his pachinko machines were paying off in GOLD.

I fumbled with another machine as I was leaving ...this one too paid me off again , instead of more balls, I reached in and pulled out ingots of what appeared to be gold, and a silver one. I couldn't believe these were the real thing, I kept them to find out and snuck them in my pocket.

I remember being at our old house on Belvedere, my sister Lisa was there and I was showing off these ingots I won, I was trying to explain to her How I got them, oddly enough she had a Pachinko game their too so it was easy to explain..but no pay off from that machine. I still had to check the validity of the ingots so I went to some place . Where some nice looking but matronly Black woman named Gladys was talking to me...apparently she was about to give me some money..$10.00 I guess, cause I inadvertently paid a bill (cause of the man in the antique shop, when I tried to claim the prizes) that didn't belong to me..Everyone was offering me money and Maybe I could have gotten more from Gladys..this was going to be a happy day..

Back at Belevedere , I had a car now that was present after visiting lisa, an 90's style drk green Lincoln-Continental.like what these public officials started driving , executive type) It was clean and paid for and in good condition, I could take this car while I checked out my ingots...but I was thinking I could take this car and drive it all day, half way across the country and then come back...sounded like a fun idea !
