The Bosses

I'm working. I have to move through crowds. We have been told that white people are not allowed to touch people of other races. People who break the rule are eviscerated, stomachs sliced open. It seems nearly impossible to achieve as we walk through crowds. And I personally don't know how to do this. The bosses think I'm white but I am really bi-racial. Touched inside by more than one race. Do I hide? What do I do? When they find out I am bi-racial what will the do to me?

Then we have to walk through a very crowded area. Most of the people on the street are Asian. It is like a crowded bus station with everyone bustling into one another. They are all wearing white shirts. I can't do this.

Then the bosses come, and they tell us that it is now okay to touch someone of another race, but that the white person must clearly be in charge. The person of color must abdicate power to the white person. I still don't know what to do, how to be, as a bi-racial person.

Other dream images from last night: carrying messages, looking for messages, mastiff dogs, bicycles, crossing rivers
