i had a few dreams this early morning.
in one of them, i was a newbie police officer. i was walking through some sort of encampment on a beach. one of the first things i saw were two white teens (not just white but literally pasty white). they were throwing rocks at other people right in front of me. i decided i couldn't let that slide, so i arrested one of them. i put his arms behind his back and tried to handcuff him. at one point during this struggle, this woman in lawyerly clothes came up to me, and, shoving a paper in my face, basically stated that the boy had some kind of disability, and that i had just done significant damage to his self-esteem by arresting him in front of all of his peers... i apologized, and let the boy go. i think i explained that it was the first thing i had seen that day, and that i acted based only on what i saw... i walked through the rest of that encampment feeling a bit wounded. in the darkness of the tent, i saw a boy sitting on a recliner upside down. it wasn't anything to make any sort of fuss about, but i felt that there was some kind of erosion of respect around me, that people felt that they could now do any and everything around me...
in another part of the dream, which was a mere fragment, i was sitting watching some sort of star wars related film with jw- a person who i had discovered, over the past few years, is a rabid trump supporter. in any case, i just sat there watching, as she made educated comments or anticipated the dialogue word for word,..
i am struggling to, but can't recall much of the third portion of the dream.
it is a grey rainy morning... not a good day for gardening...
