My dream started somewhere on the banks in a forest. It was dark because of the many trees but I was not fearful. I realised I as in the 18th or 19th century as I was wearing a maid’s dress with a lot of layers and décolleté. I remember looking down at my dress and thinking “I’m in the 18th or 19th century”. Suddenly they were selling black people as slaves (like they use to do in africa at the coast but I was still in the forest) and they had to go straight in the boat/gondola after being sold. I am black myself and I remember that I looked at the whole scene and thought “Don’t worry about it, I have nothing to do with it.” I was not scared or taking back by it. I actually did not really care about what was going on as if it did not apply to me, but did know that I needed to escape.

I got in a gondola in order to escape and than I suddenly remembered that I had to save the babies. I went and got them from somewhere (don’t know where but I suddenly had them) and held all five babies on their hand in one of my hands. I remembered looking at them and thought that it was too dangerous to hold them like that so they changed into dolls. Don’t know if it’s relevant but I held three white and two black babies/dolls in my hand and they were naked. I saw them more as objects than babies. Got in the gondola again which already had other people in it who I did not know. I think they were waiting for me when I went to get the babies.

I was actually the gondolier from the beginning. Maybe that’s why they were waiting for me. We got half way and I realised that there was another gondola with people trying to escape. Don’t know who was in that gondola but they sank. I remember that I felt it my duty to rescue them and I dived in the water without thinking. (In waking live I do want to help everybody) Suddenly I was sitting at the bottom of the lake and the water was black like black ink but not dirty. I remembered thinking, the water is black, there’s no point looking for them and suddenly is was in the gondola again but this time on a river.

Both the lake and the river were calm but the surroundings were dark because of the high and the density of the trees. I managed to escape with everybody and we got to the other side of the bank I think. I did not feel like a hero but more felt like I had accomplished something and felt satisfied. The last thing I remember is that I looked up and saw the sky through high trees with a lot of green leaves on the branches. I could see 50% sky and 50% green leaves.

Something is telling me that looking up and the green leaves are an important message as that is the last thing I remember before I woke up. I can sort of figure out most of the dream but I’m very curious to what the changing of the babies into dolls means, the white and black babies and the calm but black water. I still like to get the whole dream explained to see if I got the other bits right as it is a very detailed dream.

Thx
