A wedding, a desert, a vision

boccaderlupoI dreamed my brother got married on the quick. It came out of the blue for everybody. The ceremony was in a sandstone, Romanesque church, huge, the size of a full city block. One priest was a small, affable Hispanic man, who looked much like my good friend's brother; another was an older Hispanic or perhaps White lady. They talked to the wife and I as we waited in the nave for the bride and groom to emerge.

I dreamed the family went out to Los Angeles with my sister-in-law. She took the kids, the wife, and I out in a small vehicle to an area she called "old San Leandro" (not the city of the same name), which was a desert region with a sprinkling of palm trees. The vehicle we were in got trapped in the sand, and we thought: now what?
*
I dreamed I had reached out online to some folks to procure some tubes for a project or another. The guy said he and he son would deliver them; they were driving up from Florida to Maine, and could I meet them in Maine at their destination? Knowing they were going to be driving through Jersey on the way there, I used a tracking device to follow them, and began tailing their pickup, which I managed to flag down. They pulled the vehicle to a stop in downtown Hackensack and I got out and talked to the two.
They showed me the goods, which were two clear plastic tubes that were filled with rubbish, including shredded pieces of dollar bills. I asked them if they wanted any of this stuff, but they shook their head. We settled on a price and I forked over the money, and then we made some small talk. I asked about where they lived down in Florida, and the father told me he lived next to DeSantis, and that the governor's property line was cordoned off by guard dogs and some kind of laser sensors and a tall fence. As the father spoke, I found myself drawn into his mind's eye as he recounted the various terrors of the property, and was transported, saw the man walked the edge near the fence. Suddenly out of the sky shot two ravens that pinned the man against the fence, plucking out one of his eyes. I shook myself out of the vision, and was back in Hackensack, but standing there the man was all bloodied and eyeless. The vision had come true even as he described it to me.
The pair got back into their pickup and drove on.
