Thank you sir.
Another dream from my brother:
There was this very young family of four: Dad, Mum,a little girl and the suckling baby. They were going home. The mum was carrying the crying baby, her bag and a tuber of yam. She was struggling between breastfeeding the baby, her bag and the tuber of yam she was carrying. The dad had his suitcase and another bag. The little girl was contending with her bag. To relieve the mother of much stress, he gave the tuber of yam to the little girl. The little girl was almost falling as a result of the weight of her small bag and now the tuber of yam. Of course, they were trekking home. I was just following behind them having first inquired from the dad of the way to where I was going. The dad willing to lead the way hence, the reason for my being behind them. Not being comfortable with the way the little girl was falling under the weight of the load, I decided to help out by carrying the tuber of yam. They eventually led me to where I was going...my class teacher then in primary school. Precisely primary 1, her compound. It was then I came to realise that this family of four were tenants living in the boys' quater of this woman's compound. Also, the person I came to look for was also staying in the same quater. Realising where I was, I asked the man to shield me that I didn't want the woman or any of her children to see me. Before the man could shield me, the last daughter of the woman had seen me and drew the attention of one of her elder sisters who was my clasmate then in primary school. She(my classmate) also drew the attention of her other eldest sisters, two of them. * in real life, these four sisters knew me back them in school. But I don't know of now. And it seems they are all married*. There seemed to be an air of celebration in the compound as they were decked in gorgeous outfits. Even their mum. The woman (their mum) was just sitting at a spot, a bit isolated but decorated too. On close observation, I noticed that she had gone blind. I approached and greeted her, she tried to hug me but I didn't want to have any body contact with her as her children were watching and they knew how close I was with their mother. She being my teacher and I being the second best pupil in her class back then. And she always asked my mum about me. I pretended as if I wanted to adjust myself but turned my back to her instead. She hugged my back and in the process I had a closer look and noticed she had leprosy on her toes. The reason she couldn't stand properly. Having observed these coupled with the fact that her daughters were married to well-to-do men, I asked one of the daughters why they were yet to take their mum overseas for treatment. She replied that they had done so, the reason the leprosy didn't extend further than the toes. The woman knowing I attended a seminary school asked me if I had been ordained a priest. I replied her that I was no longer in that line. She asked if I was married and I replied " if am not married, are you going to give me your daughter? All your daughters are married unless Nneka (the last daughter) whom I don't know about". But the Nneka replied "do you know, you can never tell". We all laughed over this. But then, Nneka was like trying to follow me around while other sisters of hers joined and we were all laughing. I was laughing just to hide my disgust at what had befallen the woman at a time she was supposed to be enjoying her children. While they were kind of happy seeing me around. While laughing I started coughing. This cough woke me up from sleep around 3:10am. And the cough was really really tough that it brought tears to my eyes. By this time I was already awake.
God bless you more and always.
