dream: singing in a convertible in LA

dreamed on june 21, solstice.

i am in los angeles. (I lived there when i was 3. it's where my first memories are. haven't spent any time besides layovers there since then.)

i meet up with people. we are all dressed nicely, in linen dresses and summer suits, summer hats, sunglasses. we look polished.

we are going to an art museum with beautiful grounds. we're riding in a very large convertible with the top down. it's so big, there must be 10 of us sitting in it. we pull into the parking lot. someone else in the parking lot asks a question of us.

in response, we spontaneously burst into song, singing "jesu, joy of man's desiring" in beautiful harmony.

i'm glad i'm with these people. i enjoy spontaneous singing a lot. others at the museum are more sedate, and curious about our joy.

people from various stages of my life appear: lela and hannah, paul, roger, suzy, bj and her kids. they join us.

someone wants to go see the ocean. i've been in LA for awhile but haven't seen it yet. we are driving down the mountains, and the air is hazy. i can't see the ocean from here.

the group splits up. the LA people go off together, leaving us visitors on our own inside the art museum. end of dream.
