Dreams of Zambia
It's Sunday. Mother's Day. I took a BIG nap this afternoon (I'm always so tired at the end of semester). While I was sleeping, I dreamed I was in Zambia. It was very real. During one part of it, I was walking on the streets of the capital city Lusaka. I've never been to Lusaka but I am certain I was there. Perhaps it's because I've been reading (and re-reading) Jabbes' script. I'm trying to get the locations down and the production schedule ready. As I read, I picture the people and the city as he describes them. I think that is why it is so real. I'm working to imagine what we'll need for the production, so I guess it's becoming very real to me.
Later, in the dream, I was in the village. Last week, Jabbes told me I would have to wear a skirt when we went to the more remote parts of the country. Anyone who knows me knows that I haven't worn a skirt for years! He described some sort of wrap-around thing that sounds lovely (for people who wear dresses). So, I was wandering the village in my wrap-around skirt. The sun bathed everything in a golden glow. I was so disoriented when I woke up. I couldn't figure out where I was. I guess that means I'm ready to go.
