The dead who were buried in boats, among sex and sand:

As the Chinese archaeologists dug through the five layers of burials, Dr. Mair recounted, they came across almost 200 poles, each 13 feet tall. Many had flat blades, painted black and red, like the oars from some great galley that had foundered beneath the waves of sand.

Granted, instead of dreaming of them, I had dreams about going with an old man to pawn a bunch of painted ceramic cars depicting the rise and fall of fascism in an alternate America where the 30s were much more unsettled than they were.

That's great.

But then I also had a dream in which I did... something. Something very important that I hoped carried over into the waking world... Hm.

Maybe it did and that's why you can't remember it.
