Dream 11.14

Somehow, someway, I dreamed that I walked out of the forest and into a Hmong village. Houses were as they were centuries ago, covered in banana leaves and hay. Hmong people were in Hmong clothes and as I walked through the village they all stared at me. A bunch of Hmong men got together and started to follow me. They had suspicion in their face. They started to gather sticks and knives. I started to run and they chased me. I found a house and I went in there and the man in the house took me by the neck and intended to kill me. He said (in Hmong),"What are you doing here? Why are you in my house?" I told him I don't know how I got here and I was looking for the Lee Family. He said that those Lee families don't live in their village but three villages down. He said I was lying and he yelled for the other villagers to come help him kill me. He put a knife to my neck.

I woke up. Went back to sleep. Then, I ended up at the same place. My dream continued. The village men were chasing me again. As I was running away and trying to find a way out, I asked people where the Lee family was and that I needed to go there for protection. No one would talk to me. Then, they got a hold of me, cornered me, and put a knife to my neck and asked me how I got there. I was screaming, "I'm a Lee. I am looking for my Lee family. Where is my grandpa and grandma??"

I woke up...
