Dream I had
Woke up from a dream this morning. I was riding my new bicycle and suddenly realised the front tyre had a flat. Went to a nearby gas station to fill my tyre. The pump was one of those coin operated one and it was next to a little rain runoff drain. Like the ones you see in SG. The pump was the ones you see in Canada. I remember thinking, "argh I need to dig for coins from my bag"
Next thing I know, I drop the only 50cent coin I have in the slot, and the machine catapults the coin back out and into the drain. The water in the drain is clear, but the bottom of the drain is lined with mud. There were people around and they looked as I stared at the coin in the water. I think I swore. "Fuck! Brilliant!" But I decided to go down into the drain and find that coin. So I went into the drain and found my coin.
Then I found another, and another, and even found a Canadian Tooney ($2) coin. On and on this went... Pretty soon my hands were full and there were other people in the drain with me picking coins. So I remember stuffing all the coins in my jeans pocket. My pockets were bulging with coins. I stood up and looked up and I felt I was smiling and happy. I considered if I should pick up more coins, but then I thought, "I've picked up way more than my dropped 50¢ coin. I should stop and give other people a chance to pick up coins"
So that's it. I woke up. It was nearly 6am. I had an otah bun and went back to bed.
