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?"
