I am in a Mall. I am having my hair done or finishing some shopping. Kevin and his Muslim friend are waiting for me on a bench out in the center of the mall. They are sleeping. They are in their late teens. I wake them up. I say to Kevin, “It is your birthday. How about we go and you pick out some clothes for your birthday?” He is for it. The three of us walk to a clothes store. I talk with Kevin about his job. I suggest he finds one he wants to go to every day. Feeling: happy
If this were my dream I am in a mall finishing up with something. I have been “malled” by Kevin and Antonia who cut me off 7 months ago. Hair cut/styled- new way of thinking? I go out and wake up Kevin and his Muslim friend. Muslims seem to be pretty “rigid” with praying five times a day. However, the Muslim religion is “love” based. In waking life I pray that Kevin will “wake up” to what has happened to him. I feel he sees me and life through Antonia’s eyes and has lost who he is. It is Kevin’s birthday-new life/starting over? I suggest getting new clothes-a new identity. His friend comes along with us. Does he represent Antonia? Does she see how she is hurting Kevin? I suggest Kevin find a job where he wants to go to every day. Maybe this symbolizes doing things in his life that make him feel happy; thinking about himself more and what he needs, not just Antonia, Rowan and Markus.
