I need some help here.
Usually when i dream, they're stupid, and hard to follow. But the one i just experienced was so clear, that i just had to let my fellow Escapists here about it.
So, it went like this:
I had just spend a day at a college fair, and was making my way towards the exits. But i forgot which one i came into, so i went searching for doors, hoping that one would an exit. Then i come to a door that's positioned in a way that made me bend down to see it. Then a lady appears behind me, with two children. One's a baby girl (she was an infant), and the other was a little boy (old enough to walk and talk, but still a baby).
She was trying to find an exit as well. So she followed me, but stayed far behind, and muttering racist comments, loud enough for me to hear them, but i did nothing to defend myself. As we finally reach the exits, the little boy says "I want to get closer to it" (referring to me as if I'm a animal in a zoo) and, despite his mother's warnings, he runs up to me, and hugs my leg, while saying that "he's never seen one up close before".
I just laugh, and tussle the boy's hair before the mother snatches him off me. I open the exit, finally making it outside. but the lady was still behind me. Then two other ladies approach us, one is pregnant (with twins or triplets possibly; her stomach protruded quite far), and an Asian woman, also with a baby in her arms. The pregnant lady passes us, while the Asian does not. Instead, she stops not to far in front of me.
The two ladies say something behind my back, then the first lady i encountered walks up to the Asian woman and starts verbally assaulting her, while the Asian lady takes steps back, obviously not wanting any trouble. I stand frozen in my spot, unable to help or interfere. But when the thought of racism finally pops in my head...
My mother wakes me up.
Now I've never before experienced a dream like this. This one was so clear, yet, so hard to understand. I'm hoping someone here could interpret it. (and don't just blurt out "Racism!", because it seems like it's more to it than that.)
And as a side note: Have you ever experienced a dream before that just made you think about it? Please post your experience.
