I had a dream that I'm still feeling...
In the dream, I was at a school for the faithful during a test. The test required that everyone lay down, side by side, as the teacher passed by the rows and administered a pounding with a stake, at everyone's hip bone. If you were faithful, the blow was deflected. But if you didn't believe, the stake was pounded all the way through to the other side. I knew that I would "fail" the test, and that the teacher wanted merely to make an example of me, and that is what happened. He told me to staunch the bleeding so I wouldn't make a mess of everything. The wound was a very clean, round cut, as if made by a hollow C-shaped tube. I washed it in the girls' bathroom. Then I went to the office to document the incident. I wanted to be a whistleblower and even the ladies in the office knew that the tests had gone too far. I had to make a scan of the wound on my hip.
And it yet throbs me!
