I had the most annoying silly ass dream ever this morning.

There was a town hall meeting going on about race. Lot's of people were there. Mostly black folk and white folk. People were divided but cordial. A well respected black journalist stands up to speak. I'm excited to hear what he has to say. But the good feeling quickly evaporates when he makes an ignorant comment about black people. It was truly stupid. Some people in the crowd smile and nod their heads in agreement. While others are angry and embarrassed. Then out of the back room reality star Nene Leakes stalks up to the journalist (with her stylist in tow) and let's him have it. I can't hear what she says. But her finger wagging and facial expressions say she's giving it to me good. In the middle of this public reprimand the journalist turns into Star Jones.

Silly!

Nevertheless, I think the dreams I have about well known figures aren't really about them but their characteristics or what they represent (to me). If I take the focus off of them in this dream it boils down to this: A public figure embarasses his/her community and sparks feelings of outrage from them.

Though I recognized the journalist I believe he simply represented someone respectable.
Nene and Star Jones represented anger and confrontation.
The crowd symbolizes the public.
The fact that everyone was black or white could represent polarization or stark differences among the populace.

This dream isn't surprising as it's an election year in the US. Or as I like to call it, "the silly season."
