Fun Places, Circles, and Hospital Tests, dream by wombknower -- Aug. 15, 2012
The Fun Place
I am travelling with my mother and my friend's parents. We are in the Caribbean and we are trying to find some kind of amusement location. We are in a building that seems to house a bunch of different options, an amusement park, and art gallery, a museum, a bed room, etc... There is a young white woman in a uniform standing at a desk. She is explaining to us the different options and is waiting for a choice. We go into the basement. I am looking for a bathroom. There is a young white woman in a bedroom. She is looking at me and telling me something about something that is in her hand. I think it is a necklace.
Idea Circle
I am in a room - the same room that the four of us were in in the Caribbean.. the one with the desk. Only this time, I am at an Orientation Session. I am part of a group of law students who were chosen to be mentors. We are going around the circle introducing ourselves, and there is a senior lawyer there. When we get to my turn, I tell them about an idea that I have. It is an idea to connect with other students to grow ideas. Student from other countries.. Like an intellectual knowledge exchange. The group is puzzled, so I explain the idea. Let's say a student in Canada is looking at sustainability and a student in Jamaica is looking at sustainability, but from different perspectives, we could work together on expanding our notion of sustainability in a way that owuld be more uesful to both nations. I get louder and more eloquent as I explain this idea and ht Senior lawyer is inpressed. Earlier on in the presentation, the facilitator said that this woman has the ear of higher ups, and she is the one evaluating the program.. shen she is around we need to be on our p's and q's. After the meeting I help replace the chairs. The woman comes up to me and tells me that she loves my idea, and she is going to pass it on to the Law Society and see if she can get some money behind it. As she walks away, she sees a young boy child and she explains my idea to him in baby talk. This facilitator is an ex-boyfriend's mom. She stands up and just outside the circle her son and husband walk by. They are dressed like buskers and are doing a dance. She is puzzled. I am hungry and ask her i f I can eat her wedding ring. She says no.. any ring but that one..
The class Circle
I am in a circle of all the people in my section at school. We are sharing our thoughts and feelings about the first year. One person says that he just really wanted to share that he finds a female classmate really ugly. He goes into detail about how ugly she is. We are shocked. I am sitting in the middle and I try to deescalate the situation by telling the woman how beautiful she is and reprimanding the guy. It helps a bit.
The hospital room
In the room is a hospital room. I am supposed to get tested. There is a poster on the wall of me. It is artistic and medical. It shows bumps inside my body. I wonder if I have some kind of growth inside me. I am late for a body scan. I am given hospital clothes and told to shower in the room near my classmates. I am then shown a hotel type room for me to sleep in. It has bunk beds and an old-fashioned portable TV. They are waiting for me to do tests. I am excited to find out about my health. I am nervous too.
