A DREAM I'LL NEVER FORGET

A couple days ago I had a dream, a dream that i was in some village with mi cousins. We was living with this women and her two daughters, the girls had to be like around 2 or 3.but anyway we was like outside the hut where they lived an all of a sudden these guys came and took the two little girls. After that it’s like the dream switched over to me swimming in some water, I couldn’t see anything in the water but me and my cousin, we started to swim up to a bright light. When I reached the top I was like inside a hole in the ground, before I got out the water I looked around and I saw the two little girls lying on like a real dirty potato nap sack on the ground, no one was around them. I finally got out the water and went over to the girls. They was just laying there with no emotion, but as I stood over them I seen some then I’ll never forget. Both of the girls had scissors threw there ankles. I don’t know why but it didn’t shock me to see it, the first thing I though is "how am I going to get these scissors out there ankles”. I looked down at my hand and I had a pair of scissors don’t no where these scissors came from. I was thinking like "how am I going to get these scissors out there ankles using the same thing!”I just started to cut the scissors and it felt like I was cutting threw aluminum foil. I was just worried that the little girl would wakeup screaming. But she didn’t. It was so strange, I knew she wasn’t dead but she laid there as if she was. After I got the scissors out both of her legs, I handed her to my cousin and she took her under the water. It was the only way to get in an out where we was but it had a hut an trees and the sun was there like it was another place in Africa or something. I started to cut the scissors off the other little girl legs. She laid there the same way as the other little girl did almost lifeless, but I new she wasn't dead. As soon as I got done cutting the last pair of scissors off...The mother appeared. It was a hut somewhat on top of a hill; she was standing in the door way yelling something.it didn’t seem like she wanted help for her girls. I didn’t understand because we was living with her and her girls and it seemed like she loved them very much. I didn’t say anything to the mother I just picked the little girl up and took her under the water....that was the end of my dream...The next day I was reading this book by {despond tutu} called "believe”. On one of the pages of the book he spoke about a little girl. He asked the little girl "what do u do when you’re hungry and no one has any food to spare".The girl replied "we drink water to fill our stomachs”. Both little girl and water was in my dream, I couldn’t believe it, I just had to share that dream because I had never had a dream like that before.
