Michelle in the Emerald City

Some how i applied for and got a job as Michelle Obama’s assistant. My job was to walk in front of her with a silver whistle in my mouth and let out a little ‘tweet’ to alert people around corners or in new rooms we entered that she was approaching. One time she had to remind me to tweet the whistle because i was so enthralled with my surroundings that i forgot. She was really nice about it though.

We were going on a journey and as part of a large diplomatic contingent, we were walking across a kind of tundra to another country. I can’t remember the name of the country now but for some reason i’m thinking that it was Scandinavian or something from Oz(?) As we walked in a long but scattered line i asked the man who was the envoy from the country to which we were traveling what this strange terrain was. He told me it’s normally a bog but it froze over in winter which is why we could walk on it. I noticed then that MichelleO was wearing a heavy, full-length red coat supporting that it was winter even though it wasn’t very cold. As we approached i could see the city. It wasn’t very large but had some tall buildings. Sort of Emerald City-ish but made from stone and steel. The one main building was in a deco style skyscraper similar to the Chrysler Building only wider.

We entered the building (me sounding the whistle every few feet) and it now dawns on me that Michelle is the Queen of England and she’s not wearing a coat, but royal robes. ?? There’s a disturbance and royal guards place Michelle under arrest. Since i’m her assistant i go with her to the room where she’s imprisoned. It’s in the same room where the ?seamstresses work. I blow on the whistle but they’re too busy to acknowledge the Queen of England so Michelle and i got into a little room off the main room. She’s sitting on a table and i’m in a chair asking her questions about her life. She’s very nice and down to earth (considering she’s the Queen) and i’m trying to understand why she’s been arrested since the country we’ve walked to is under the same kind of government (monarchy?)

That’s all i remember. You know... maybe the city skyline is Raleigh or some other small city i've seen but the terrain leading into it is unfamiliar. I don't understand the symbols of the dream but the overall feeling was positive. Even being arrested didn't feel scary or threatening. Mostly just puzzling.
