i was small -- i was a little kid, and i was playing in the sandbox.  then suddenly i look up and there is this giant black man there.  a HUGE black man and he --
when you say "black" -- do you mean, African-American?
yes, afri-- amer-- af-- af-- African.  African.  and he was wearing a Speedo!  and then suddenly he smiled a big smile, and he sort of laughed and he smiled and he --
then he pulled out an apple from nowhere and then suddenly i was sinking down into the sand!  it was bottomless, and there was always more sand below me but i was always sinking into it and then i fell out the bottom, and i was falling through this giant empty space.  and then there was this woman.  she was falling next to me.  she was dressed in white -- like a wedding dress.  but it wasn't a wedding dress.  her eyes were blue -- they were blue like a deep ocean, not cyan or some kind of pale blue.  and she had long hair -- it was gold!  i mean golden -- i mean it was gold-colored -- it wasn't made out of gold.  and her skin looked so smooth and even -- and such a lovely shape to her face, and her body.  she was beautiful!  and then she smiled at me and she held out her hand and i put my hand in her hand and it was smooth, even smoother than i thought.  and i was sort of a little bit below her as we were falling, but then when i reached up and grabbed her hand i started to float up.  so i was looking up at her as i was rising and she was almost glowing or something and she was smiling and she said
 
"you know what?"
