NOTES 20 YEARS LATER

Willie Brown is not, of course, still our mayor. The current mayor is even more pro-business.
The San Francisco Hyatt-Regency Hotel's gigantic atrium really does looks pretty much like this--minus the icicles.
Polar bears duel in a castle: fans of Philip Pullman's novel The Golden Compass will readily recognize the echoes, in my dream, of the shattering bear-duel in the ice-castle on Svalbard.
The dream's math: is correct. A 72 mph impact meant a fall of about 175 feet--just right for a fall from one of the top balconies of the Hyatt-Regency atrium.

So don't tell me dreams can't add.

The San Francisco Hyatt-Regency Hotel redecorated as City Hall... for polar bears. Dream sketch by Wayan; click to enlarge.
