Political dreams
Apr. 28th, 2006 10:09 amTwo somewhat cute/interesting dreams, one last night, and the other a few days previously, both mildly political relevant.
( Dream #1: Diplomatic envoy )
( Dream #2: Iraqi conscript )
---
I know where in my mind both of the dreams came from. The one about India and Pakistan -- the previous night I had found the opportunity to fill in some tidbits of info on Wikipedia about the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, one of them being that Russia supports Pakistan's membership only if India joins at the same time. This thought, combined with the recent Iran nukes thingy, led to the dream.
And the other dream -- that's more solemn and creepy, and it was the Nepal situation that brought it forward, not anything happening in Iraq itself. I kept wondering what could lead an army to be loyal to a dictator even against their own people's wishes. Not just in Nepal, but also in Belarus recently, and ofcourse all over the world in different times.
My dream seems to have answered this with the guess of loyalty/admiration/liking at the mere fact of *not being hurt at the time*. I'm not sure how relevant it actually is in real life, but the more I think about it the creepier (and sadder) I find it. Battered wife syndrome on a whole national scale. Ugh.
