i dreamed i was going to go to an art installation, it was the final day showing this artist who made special musical instruments that were usually very large. i was looking at the brochure a friend of mine showed me. many of the instruments were made of iron, with odd shapes like wings of butterflies made of iron, painted red or grey. we were going to go to the installation, but all of a sudden there was a flood upstairs, so we had to go investigate. the house we were living in was old and creaky, with hardwood floors. i think it was probably four stories high. my friend had put some laundry in an old washing machine that was broken. water was pouring out of the broken machine. this was way up on the fourth floor, i imagine.
there was a dog running around, a black lab, probably only 7 or 8 months old. i was with my mom and my wife too. we were trying to leave, but never made it out in time to go to the show.
then i remember walking through these structures which were like self storage units that were all connected. but it was the third world, and these were peoples homes. it was dark, probably 4 or 5 am, and people were waking up. families were opening these large metal sliding doors and starting breakfast. kids were playing, throwing dirt around on the walls, having fun. the floors were concrete and the walls were metal, painted orange. there were a few beds here and there but that's about it.
