i was with a group who was helping to trim trees, etc, along the 6 train (irl the 6 train is all underground, no plants of any kind), everyone else there was there because they were convicts and it was part of their punishment. i don't remember exactly why i was there, but i do remember that a few years back i had fallen on a donald judd installation there which had very sharp corners, and busted up my chin and had to get stitches. that day, darcy sent me a picture she had taken of me on the emergency room stitching table from that time; i looked like i was taking it in stride.
i watched the convicts working, and one of them started to float above the ground. he kind of hovered at first, but it had soon developed into full floating, yet still not quite flying. he floated all the way up onto some power lines about two or three stories up. he then danced around the power lines, never quite using them for full support, but touching them for guidance every few seconds. he danced around like this for a bit, and came down. the warden gave him a look like "here we go again," and then the floating man went back to work on terra firma. i was lying down, and directly beneath me there was a large, hairy, stereotypically disgusting spider. i tried to squish it by lying on it, and every time i lifted my back up to see if i had killed it, it was still alive but in a different spot beneath me. i got more and more freaked out as this went on, but eventually did squish it.
