I had an extended dream last night that I was able to recall when I awoke. It seems Janet and I were somewhere in Asia in a small village. An attacking force overran the village and we were separated and I was taken captive. I remember feeling very bad that I didn’t get to say goodbye to Janet. I was treated well by my young captors. After they decided that I was unarmed and harmless they placed me in the custody of a young girl who tried to educate me in the world’s news and views from her perspective. Then I was rescued and returned to my wife and society. My initial reception by society was one of surprise and happiness. But society rejected my narrations as the product of brainwashing. They were sure that their culture was infinitely superior to the one from which I had been freed and that my tale of the pleasant life lived by my captors could not possibly be true. Something like, “my mind’s made up, don’t bother me with the facts.” I wonder if this dream has anything to do with New York?
