Warfare

Another weird dream. We were invaded by foreign troops, who came in with their new political ideas and a promise of pain and death to any opposition. Not only because of my mother's political views but also, separately, because of my own, I heavily opposed the new ideas. Therefore, when the troops came into my school and told us to separate ourselves into those who agreed with the ideas and those who did not, I talked quickly and as quietly as possible to those I knew held the same views as me. However it appeared that they were not so passionate about the future of the country or of society as I was myself. Therefore I alone pretended to agree while they submitted in actuality. Frustrated, I finally told one of my close friends that I didn't care what views she held, but asked that she make sure she could defend herself, no matter which side was attacking her.

Then I was hiding. There was a large building with many militant guards throughout, and I was running through it and hiding. There were also two girl of about my age who were running and hiding but seemed to have more idea of what they were doing. They helped prisoners to escape. Still, we hid. At one point I locked myself in where the prisoners were supposed to stay to see what happened to them. A soldier came and took me to where the prisoners were kept. there were small, open sided areas where they were forced to sleep, and they could go to receive food at what looked like a pine tree but was only the greens attached to each other in such a way that they made a massive tree-shaped shell. I knew we'd have to work there and that we would suffer. I thought of the Jewish Holocaust and the concentration camps there. It was very much the same. I don't remember any more.
