I'm in Mexico City. It's an interesting feeling - to be back.

My eyes are wide open - taking in all the scenery. I'm walking down one of the big, busy streets - maybe it's Avenida Chapultepec. I have the impression of having just got off a train, and I think I end up one station too far up (in the north-easterly direction).

I'm astonished by how busy it is - I'm remembering things about Mexico - the pace of the place, and the in-your-face sense of reality. I turn to my right, and notice that there is no pedestrian crossing here. Just a whole lotta traffic (and people)

I try and make it across the road - but the traffic is insane. Cars come past, and instead of stopping for you - they simply swerve in across the road, and skid across in horizontal motion. I can't recall why they do this - but it seems to have something to do with getting through the next roundabout. As a pedestrian, I'm feeling a little shocked/surprised by it all. I must see 2 or 3 cars do it, even though they can see me (and others with me) waiting to cross.

Later, I'm at the side of the street - I seem to be collecting bread from the side of the road. I don't recall the details. I'm not sure why I'm doing it.

Comments: I only remembered this dream, because I went into the city today (here in Melbourne) on the tram. On the way, I noticed a big advertising sign - seemingly for some flashy car. The words:

"370° shift"

clearly emblazoned across the poster. Suddenly the dream came rolling back. I was in Mexico City in November last year, and am returning to Mexico (and more particularly to Guatemala) this November.
