I had the most insane dream last night! My dad and I were driving over a bridge with all of these other black people when the military showed up and started making people jump or they were going to shoot them. My dad was running around begging to just let us cross because I cant swim and I kept telling him to stop, I would float and he could just haul me to the other side. Finally, he agreed. He and I were going to jump with this woman but at the last second he broke away to plead one last time and the woman grabbed another man to hold onto me and right as we were jumping my dad got shot. He went over the side of the bridge after us and he hauled me over to the side but the city was burning. He kept trying to get me somewhere safe but there was nowhere to go. He died on the steps as I argued with some black lady at this massive church who wouldn’t let me bring my dad in for medical care because he didnt just jump off the bridge like everyone else.
She looked like the Chief on the old “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” gameshow but with a HUGE afro and a dark purple pants suit.

    I’m sorry that you dreamt something this terrifying. I’ve had dreams where my family and I are in danger and I cannot seem to help them. You wake up relieved that it was just a dream but still shaken all the same.

    Hey Isa, so this whole dream screams to me that you’re really worried about your Dad. It must be hard with everything going on. I’m sorry. I know what it’s like to be away from your parents during a pandemic. There’s a small part of my brain devoted to permanent concern for their wellbeing.
