that I was on the east coast somewhere, in a place somewhat like DC

I was visiting, and there was a mall...not like your regular shopping mall
but more like what would result if you covered over market street in SF with
glass. I walked down the mall and it began to rain....sheets of water
downpouring. I was very glad that I was under the glass and still dry.
There came a point where the glass ended though, when the street met another
one at some oblique angle. and the water was totally dripping, pouring down
into the street...it was amazing and beautiful, I thought. I decided I
*had* to take a picture of this for my mom, even if it meant my camera got
wet. I pulled out my camera and the rain stopped.

o bummer.

the dream then *switched* and I was visiting my friend Eric (whom I haven't
seen in about 2 years). we were talking about what had been going on in our
lives and he told me about his new band. but the name of the band he told
me isn't the one I knew he was in. I questioned that and he said, "o yeah,
right, that's my band. sorry, we just changed the name."

there was more to it but that's all I remember for now
