In the dream, President Obama is sitting across from me at a school cafeteria table. To his left is a boy child of around 8 years of age. There are a lot of other people in the cafeteria but not at our particular table. President Obama and i are talking about ?? and i agree that of all people i could ever sit down and break bread with, it would be ??. I realize that by making that statement President Obama and the child could infer that i’m not thrilled to be speaking with President Obama (which i am) and i say “I’m already having lunch with you, otherwise you’d be my first choice” and the President laughs and tells me it’s okay.
I think that this dream was a result of seeing the headline of an about President Obama being interviewed by some kids in a fourth grade class and telling them if he could have dinner with any person, living or dead, it would be Mahatma Gandhi. The person we were talking about in the dream wasn’t Gandhi though. It was a black man. I don’t think it was MLK, but maybe. Maybe it was Nelson Mandela (although he’s not somebody i’ve ever consciously thought about wanting to meet). The presidents answer to the children reassures me that he will do what needs to be done based on finding peaceful solutions without jeopardizing security. Our ship is still moving in the right direction.
A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. -- Nelson Mandela
two days later, President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace prize, much to the surprise of everybody, including the president.
