cordjostlerI think there was something that I now forget about playing pool... but where coherent memory starts, I was in this strange, long but small side room of a Instagram influencer looking apartment and this lady was coarsely chopping bits out of the end of a gigantic pool cue. ..supposedly to illustrate the special construction of this thing, invented by the lady who manufactured them. Something about the wood being solid, but it was like several solid chunks arranged in a certain way, kind of like staves. There was no mention of the gigantic-ness, though I feel it was understood that it was just large for purposes of explaining the construction.
Then we were in the kitchen of this apartment, and there were 4 or 5 other "students" there, and we were eating and maybe talking about the class.. but like logistics, not actual material. Who knows what the class' topic actually was. One guy was eating something out of a giant hollowed out wheel of cheese and it was leaking.
Then we were in transit. On a train? but not. I was sitting next to my friend K, but the rest of the "class" was there. We were apparently going to LA. I assume from San Diego, since that is my only frame of reference for going to LA. I remarked how much I hated LA, but that the train was nice, especially because of the free snacks in business class. (which is true.. and this also made me question how many canned responses like this I have to things that come up, because I've surely mentioned the snacks a couple of dozen times in this context)
I think that was it.
Wild that the pool cue came up. I think it was from watching an adam savage youtube video.. maybe there's a subconcious connection - he was answering a fan question about "how do i deal with starting to be a "maker" again after 15 years away from it, having lost my skills," which is pretty much every facet of my life. Adams response was relating about how he had been very good at pool in his twenties, and stuff like that just goes away if you don't use it. and then, paraphrase "you just have to start at the start again."
The "class" part was interesting. I remember having another dream in the past that was something like an academic design studio, though idealized by being all bright white, etc. In that one, I think everyone else was doing great work and I was just there kind of struggling, which is pretty much how I remember grad school. ha. Anyway, I wonder if it's telling me that I miss having a learning cohort? Maybe I need to be learning more from other learners rather than teachers? (I WAS having a lot of thoughts yesterday about how drum instructor is way too far ahead of me to even comprehend the struggle I'm having)
