Freedom in short leaps

[riveroflaroo]

Now here is a dream I had just last night, that was full of symbols. (If my english is a bit weird, please forgive me, english is not my native tongue) Anyways.. I was walking down a street close to where I work. I was going to work, but I didn't pay attention to where I was, so I walked a bit futher than what I was supposed to. At the left side of the street i noticed a muslim school. Both men and women at that school. At the right side of the street was a muslim churc (don't know the english word for their religious buildings, but in norwegian it is Moske). I was walking on the right side of the street, passed their church and made a right turn, and went up a steep hill. The muslim church was halfway built into this hill, and as I was walking up the hill, I was walking on the roof of their church. That made them really really pissed, and all the students at the school kept shouting at med to get off the roof. I stopped and said something to them in a language I have never heard before, but I remember one word I kept repeating, wich was KELELE. In my mind that was supposed to explain to them that I had to walk on the roof to move up the hill. (I checked the internet, and found that Kelele ment "to shout out" in swahili ) I walked futher up the hill, and came to a building with a grey concrete wall. In the wall there was an opening about a meter above street level. The opening was shaped like a rectangle, about 50 cm in height and about 20 cm in width. On both sides of the opening was a similar rectangle, all in concrete. And next to both of the concrete rectangles was a similar shaped rectangle, with the windows logo on them I removed the concrete rectangles, and crawled through the opening in the wall. Inside was a small room, no more than 3 x 3 meters, and a really low ceiling. On the floor lay stacks of see-throug bags, filled with something I though was pieces of charcoal. I heard a voice say it was a forbidden material, against the law to have. I filled the opening in the wall with these bages, so the angry students wouldn't find me, turned 180 degrees and walked out of the room throug a grey door on the opposite side of the room. I came into a small flat, all grey in color, and filled with rubble. It looked dusty and worn out, and I really didn't like it. The phrase "shit hole" came to mind. But as I looked around I saw several ceramic teapots. I particulary noticed a blue teapot, that I picked up and brushed the dust off. I was really happy to find it. I decided to go outside, to my garden. I went out through a greywhite door, and came out on the top of the building. My garden was at the top of the roof. "Nobody ever comes up here, I don't think they dare to," a voice said. And then the garden expanded, and I found myself way out on the countryside. I could see several farmbuildings, and sheeps in the distance. And now it felt as if this was the place that was my home (like the ugly flat had felt like home before). And I could see acres and acres of farmland and a huge garden. I felt really happy to be where I was at. Then I was watching the dream, and I saw the woman (who had been me uptil now) turn into a blue and golden bird, flying around the area, in short leaps. I realised that the bird could not fly very far. The oposite was described to me by an eagle landing and staring at me (the observer, not the bird). A voice sounded through the landscape, saying something like: "Freedom is possible in every life. It depends on what you do, and if you love what you are doing. It has nothing to do with how far you can fly" I watched the blue and golden bird util the dream ended, and noticed it had a golden crown of feathers on its head
