After coming home late at night from the second gig, I ate the McDonald’s fries and apple pie that I brought on the way back to the house. I watched a couple of clips of movies made in Nollywood, Nigeria’s version of Hollywood. I relaxed for the night and this latest dream took place.

It started when I saw images of the old block where I used to live. I saw my former building, and when I went inside the building, it looked like the inside of the house where I am living now. I went upstairs and for some reason instead of going to my room, I went into my son’s room.

I laid down on the bed in my son’s room, then I saw that I was surrounded by windows like I was in a store. There were no curtains on the store windows and people in the street can look through the window and see inside. Then I saw tenants from my old building using the store as a short cut to leave the building. I wondered if the landlord knows about the store front.

Before I talk the him about the storefront, I went to the real-estate office that collects the rent to verify if the store front was part of the building. I went into the real-estate office and asked the woman who is familiar with the building whether the storefront is part of the building.

The woman confirmed that the storefront is indeed part of the building. I went back to the storefront to put up curtains so that nobody on the street can look into the window and see the inside of the store.

When I went to look for the landlord to tell him that the storefront is part of the building, I could not find him. But when I looked outside across the street, I could see the landlord and the handyman outside a shell of a building.

 They started to put in the electrical components and rewiring the building shell.  They started putting up drywall and making the building shell whole. It was a lot of work and by the end of the day it looked like their project was completed.

I went back into my building and I saw the handyman’s son, we went to the elevator, we saw that inside the elevator was dirty. Since the elevator was active is kind of hard to take it out of service to clean it. Plus, the elevator was a time machine, and if was cleaned it in one time, it would still be dirty when it came back to the present.

But we started to clean the elevator anyway. While we were in the elevator it took us to another time. We decided to go to the street to see where the elevator took us.

While walking in the street we saw the building shell that the landlord and the handyman were working on. It appeared as a totally renovated building with a business company’s sign on it. I couldn’t make out what the sign said, but it seemed that it was the handyman’s business.

Then I got a feeling that the elevator was getting ready to go back down to the present, so me and the handyman’s son had to rush back to the storefront so that we could catch the elevator going back to the present.
