Dream: December 11, 2011. I was in a meeting in the assembly hall again. I discovered that the host was really hardcore. He made one person whisper in another person’s ears and say what the other person was really thinking. It seemed a lot like the kind of relationships people had during the Cultural Revolution. The first person had an attitude and kept silent. When one person disclosed his secrets, he forced another person else to take the form of something that he used to be. I was scared, thinking that he will definitely turn into a giant toad. I saw a river appear on the huge stage with a pair of feet in the water. Then the person was transformed into a big white tiger, biting people’s clothes and pulling them up onto the stage. At that moment, I understood that he must have been a tiger in a past incarnation.
又在礼堂的座位上开会,发现主持人很厉害,他让人在另一个人的耳边说话,要说出另一个人的心里话。很象(像)文革时期人与人的关系。那人的态度还是一言不发。一个人揭发他的内心,他又让一个人变成他原来的样子。我很害怕,心想一定是变成大蟾蜍吧。看那巨大的午(舞)台上渐渐出现河水中有人的双脚,又变成一只白色的大老虎咬住人的衣裳,把它拉上来。我此时才明白原来他的前身是老虎呀。 梦 二〇一一年十二月十一日
