Dreams #0005 - Disaster, Violin, Gift

1) I began this dream in an urban neighborhood. I walked between two buildings with a roof connecting them. There were random box-shaped steps at the end of one hallway. When I attempted to climb up the steps, I would turn around and there would be even more steps to climb. There was a break in the dream, but I finally walked out of the hallway onto a green patch of grass. I saw a tall building or steel tower (also boxy in shape). I looked up, and four men in orange hats attempted to coordinate some last-minute building infrastructure processes. However, at an inopportune moment, I looked up and saw a slab of concrete fall down. Luckily, it did not hit any of the construction workers. I was standing about a quarter mile away from the building, but in an instant, I saw a whole floor topple off of the building and yelled to the workers. Somehow, the entire building fell apart, but the workers neither reacted normally nor ran away. I turned away before I saw any more building pieces hitting the ground.

I guess this is a subconscious reaction to reading news about natural disasters before going to bed...

2) In my second dream, I was standing in a crowd in an artsy area, waiting for a concert. I stood for awhile, when a youngish Hispanic lady approached me and Bro. I spoke to her about music, but I spoke to her as if we were strangers. A bit later, she talked to me and revealed that we had actually met a year ago (dream-me had a lapse in memory, I suppose). I continued to talk to her and she invited us to another event for the next day.

The next time we met her, we went to a nice garden outside of a place with an archaic air (may have been her house or a music conservatory). We spoke more about our love of music, when I asked her about buying violins. She replied, "Why do you have to buy one? I'll give you mine..." I was surprised and replied, "...But don't you need it?" Her answer was ambiguous, but I felt that she was giving up on music - she enjoyed playing violin and has done it for a long time, but she is going to pursue her other passions. She meant it to be a gift so that I could fulfill my/Bro's wish to hone our skills in violin. I was so touched by this gift, but I woke up with no violin, yet felt inspired by an example of human kindness created in my head.
