I've nearly decided that it's a political dream. (That's a first, too.) A political dream about staking out ethical positions during periods of confusing conflict. In the first half of the dream (before the break in continuity) I am an acting participant who chooses to "do the right thing" to protect someone at risk to my own safety. In the second half of the dream (after the break) I am an observer watching another out-of-power person choosing to "do the right thing" to protect her remaining children at risk of her own life.
Consciously, I really don't think America is yet that close to the point of civil war. If my subconscious is already evaluating it that way, though, then it would explain why I have been so tired and out of sorts for the last week or two. Conflict is tiring business.
