Walking in downtown with my sister

Date: 8/17/2025

I was walking in downtown Pocatello with Molly. It was sunny, but the sun was starting to set. The streets were filled with people listening to live music, having block parties, and eating. All of the streets were filled. We got stuck behind a slow walker. His name is Jesse Lee. Irl, he knows my ex-boyfriend, and I have had a few encounters with him. But anyway, in the dream, he was walking slowly and eating something out of a paper plate and seemed to just be enjoying observing the festivities and just walking around. He kept occasionally glancing behind him, and he eventually realized he was holding Molly and I up, and he stepped to the side and said sorry. gesturing for us to walk ahead of him. He started walking behind us. Molly said she wanted to turn down an innocent street. I asked if Pocatello had any innocent streets. She said yes and started talking about the history of Pocatello. I mentioned that yeah, that happened, but didn't it happen dying the native America genocide? Therefore, no streets in Pocatello are innocent? Then I woke up.
