Kennedy dream
Been short on significant dreams lately. This one makes up for the shortage.
I was supposed to pick up Rosemary Kennedy, the "crazy" sister, and take her to a place where she would tell all of the family's secrets. I picked her up in a secret Air Force base near the old leper colony in Hawaii. She was pretty in a square Irish way. She seemed slow from years of official drugging, but she was smart and lucid and eager to tell what she knew. As we drove, she fell asleep and leaned on my shoulder. It was nice.

Where did this come from? I've never been to Hawaii and rarely think of it. I know Air Force bases pretty well, but haven't been thinking of them. The only time a female leaned on my shoulder was 1978. (Thanks, Sharon! I'll always remember that one brief moment of affection in a lifetime of rejection.) Since then they only lecture me on my inadequacies.
The theme of telling secrets is an obvious current reference, and I had been thinking of Kennedys in this context. But why Rosemary? Why Hawaii?
