(no subject)

 Last night's dream was busy and mostly good. I was in New York visiting my friend S, who I've known since we were at Tulane together in 1988-89. I brought a book for her to read and she gave me a book to read; then she was going to do a podcast about the two books. We were riding the subway and talking about the books. We ended up going to some clubs and bars and apparently it was Halloween. My mom was there, too, suddenly. We ended up in this club, chatting with a young woman who was there with her pet snake (as part of her costume? i don't know) and we were talking about cancel culture and tik tok. Then somehow I was by myself in a big crowd of people out on the street or on a very wide sidewalk and I realized I wasn't wearing my mask. When I got back to S's she was giving me a hard time about forgetting my mask and walking around in crowds.
