Dream

New Dream.  I'm on a traditional, quant to the outside eye tourist village.  First, I can remember being sent to this "fun house" with robot lions and tigers and bears - oh my!  But they looked SO real, and one of the lions was loose and I got freaked out.  Afterwards, I was going back to the huge hotel and I see a giant ceramic (or maybe concrete) bird that fell into the hotel like the planes flew into the world trade center.  I want my camera, and look down and I have an Olympus, so I figure out the functions, take a couple shots, and go in to get mine (which I hope was not destroyed).  The staunch, grumpy mayor is having a meeting, which I ignore but photograph because I dislike him.  Once I get to my floor, I feel uneasy, like there is someone on the roof.  It turns out being a harmless village boy and I learn about his life and meet his beautiful black mother.  They invite me to come to their meeting, which was held in k lab (huh...).  I realize I am the minority as a woman with his mother.  The men there were young and disrepectful towards us.  One man started yelling at the mother and held a knife up to her throat, and her son did nothing.  It was then I knew I needed to love the mother, I sat on her lap holding her face protectively.  Then I got into a fight with the boy who had hurt her.  He went to the dry-erase board and wrote the format for how they speak, which was a diagonal.  As I started to make up, I asked "Then who is speaking during all of the other places?"
