I had weird dreams last night. They were very disjointed but my thoughts are all over the place right now. So, I guess it makes sense my dreams are all over the place.

In part of my dream I was living with a cannibalistic tribe. I would ask my father what we were having for dinner as he was in the bathroom tub cutting off another part of someone to eat. First the face, starting with the cheeks. Then to the thigh. Finally the arm. I couldn't look as my dad expertly sliced off different parts of the body and I had to suppress my emotions in the dream. This was normal eating, I couldn't have emotions to it, I mean...I eat cow, chicken and turkey... Those are slices of meat and I don't get emotional about those things either. I thought were these people bred just to be eaten? How were they connected to the earth and the ground?

Then my thoughts drifted to a hydroponics lab... what happens if your roots are not grounded? What happens if your roots are suspended in the air? Some people live in apartment homes and have their tomatoes growing from the roots downward. What happens if your roots are not in earth, but are surrounded by running water? Are you just as connected to the earth? Are you still apart of the community?

I've been looking at traditional African dresses lately. I've wondered if I have the right to wear any of those clothes since I do not have the knowledge of the culture it represents. Am I the kid that's been dissected for dinner? Am I a kid whose grown up in the lab or suspended by my ankles? I don't know...but then again, my dreams are disjointed.
