Ok everyone who believe dreams have meaning, help me with this one.
I had it last night.

It began with me being on a street, outside of Rosa Park's childhood home, it being a shrine and museum to her.

As I'm standing outside, one of only a few white guys there, another decides to burn it down.

I'm shocked. Appalled, in fact. But then that shock turns to fear when everyone assumes it was I who set the fire.

But it wasn't.

It was another white person.

So then I find myself running down a street because this mob is after me. I try to explain, but no one will listen.

Then I wake up.

WTF?

3. ask how you felt after the dream, and what you think it could indicate


Sounds a bit like guilt about stuff you aren't responsible for...

5. This may be stretching it, but maybe...
Maybe it has something to do with the guilt that many white men feel by association with their race and gender?

Because feeling guilty is taught from an early age in our culture, I can understand why many of us feel this way for various reasons. But I also think guilt is a pretty useless thing. It doesn't alter the offense from which it is summoned. Punishing oneself with guilt will not make a better world.

Regret, however, is a good thing, as we can learn from it, and do everything possible to avoid making the same mistakes over and over.

6. The only thing preventing you from enacting your deep-rooted fantasy of arson
is your fear of getting caught? :shrug:

7. You know what I dream about?
At least once a week I dream that the toilet is overflowing and it scares the shit out of me. Like I wake up in the middle of the night worrying that my toilet overflowed. I dream this all the time!

10. I would agree with Goddess, you are shouldering white man’s guilt.
We have a long way to go, all of us, I am just glad we are now pointed in the right direction.

12. So Ann Coulter is right...
I only voted for Pres. Obama because of guilt.

Great.

:P

13. I know you are kidding.
The tongue smiley tells me so. However, when sleeping, like hypnosis, we are more open to what is outside of us. Ann Coulter, for the record is NEVER right. You voted for Obama because he is an amazing person and you recognized that on a conscious level.

Your dream indicates you are reaching outside of yourself, perhaps taking on the guilt of past, very way past, behavior of your kind. Forgive and move on.
