Slightly disconnected with reality
7. Overview of Subjunctive vs. Indicative If you are sure that something exists, you use the indicative. But when it’s not specified, or are not sure, if a certain person, place, or thing exits, the subjunctive comes into play... Normal Dude= Indicative Weird Hippy Dude= Subjunctive

(lleva=indicative) 2. Busco una camiseta que lleve una foto de Elvis. (lleve=subjunctive) Both sentences mean same thing: I am looking for a T-shirt with a photo of Elvis. In 1st sentence, you use indicative, because I know they have the t-shirt! In 2nd sentence, you use subjunctive because I’m not sure they have one!
