Southside Dream (night of 24/03/2014)

I am back in Kinloss. I have travelled by train with Al, Claire and Andy. There is some reason why we are there, but I cannot remember now. I realize this is the first time that I will have seen Andy in Kinloss (though when would I have seen Claire or Al there?). We head back into Southside. I think this is Al's idea but I'm not sure - Southside isn't our eventual destination. It is heading toward evening. Suddenly I am very excited and tell everyone that this will be like all those dreams of Southside I have had where I am entering Southside at twilight and all the street lights come on. I see a few street lights already on - probably broken and were shining through the day. I want that special click - and then the slow warm up from pink to bright -night-burnished orange. I hope we have enough time to witness this mystical sight before having to leave Southside. Southside looks very similar to it's waking life counterpart. I see a group of teenagers huddled on a bench. Down Easter Road? There are some differences including a kind of river / culvert. Some buildings have an older feel about them - there is, perhaps, an air of a harbour about the place, as if Southside is set by the sea. Claire looks into a dark building (the door is slightly ajar). This bothers me for some reason and I hurry her on. We come across a dog being taken for a walk. The dog is friendly and the man is too. We end up at his house watching the television. Other members of his family are there too. They do not seem to mind our presence, but we have not been introduced properly. I notice the street lights have still not come on. Perhaps we are not as close to evening as thought? The man brings out a cheeseboard which we set to with gusto. Everyone watches the television in an odd silence.
