Dear Diary,
Last night I had a dream. My dream was just amazing. I can't tell you how much different it was from what I used to dream before. I don't know why but I just feel so different now and I also think that I am also changed a little after this dream. I think differently now. I want to tell you everything about my dream now because I really want to share it with someone.
You know where I was in my dream?
I will tell you! I was in the Native North America, seeing some great transitions from boyhood to manhood. This was part in every single boy's life in the Native North American tradition where they were at an age to turn from a boy into a man. The young men must face great enemies, find the strength and endurance within themselves to succeed and become a more powerful and responsible person.
There were six parts of my dream where I saw 6 different people and young mens as they became strong adults.
Firstly, I saw the underwater lodge, it was like a house under water where everyone was too scared to go in. It was believed that there lived many different creatures especially tie-snakesand other bright colored creatures. People thought that the river was very dangerous and the tie-snakes creature would wrap themselves about swimmers who went into the deepest water.
The son of the chief of Koweta called Blue Fox respected and loved his father a lot but the only thing that was missing was that he didn't learn the importance of responsibilities yet. So his father called him and said, "My son, you are young but you are a good runner. I wish you to take a message to the chief of the town of Talladega. Give him this bowl. This responsibility is great and I trust you to do this well."
So the boy set off since it was still early in the day, however, when he was by the lake, he stopped and started playing with his friends where he dropped the bowl in the deep part of the river. Blue Fox was frightened that he couldn't accomplish his responsibility so he dived inside the deep water and was taken to the chief of the tie-snakes. The Tie-Snakes Chief guided Blue Fox to get power and learn what he was supposed to learn to become a man from a boy. Blue Fox also managed to do all the things that the Tie-Snake chef asked him to do, thinking about the responsibility given to him by his father.
So then the boy finally reached home with the powers and later saved the town of Koweta from the enemies with the help of the tie-snakes and soon became the chief of the town.
The next thing I saw was how Little One didn't listen to his parents and was troubled by many questions in his mind. Little One rose early in the morning and walked away from the village toward the hills without any food or water to search for answers to his questions.
He searched and searched but there was no sign of anyone. The next morning he woke up weak with hunger so he decided to return back to his village while he still had the strength to walk. But he stumbled as he was walking and fell down on the roots of a willow tree and couldn't walk any more. As the willow tree spoke, the words gave strength to the Little one's spirit. Then Little One saw himself as an old Ancient man who answered the questions of Little One. Now Little One's heart was filled with peace. So the Little One spent more time listening to the words his elders spoke and became the happiest.
Later, the next part was about the 2 monsters, Owl-Man Giant and the Monster Elk. White-Painted Woman and her brother lived on the Earth. She got married to the Sun and called their son Child of Water. The monsters were man eaters and even if someone killed an animal, that was only the monster's. So when the Owl-Man Giant came to the house of White-Painted Woman when he smelled a human baby. She rejected completely and as time passed, the boy grew up and was to kill the monster. When he killed the monster by the help of his uncle, his mother didn't believe it but as Child of Water showed the evidence, she rejoiced with happiness. However there were still another monster left troubling the world and the people living on Earth. Then he went on to kill the Monster Elk and made the Earth a safe place to live on for Human Beings. There were also other creatures that helped the Child of Water to destroy the monsters on Earth.
Then there was 'How the Hero Twins Found Their Father'. The two twins went off to find their father in the other parts of the world. They left their house and found Spider Woman who helped them how to get to their father. But the twins had to suffer a lot to get to their father and then they had to prove themselves to their father that they were their sons. So they got the powers from their father and killed the monsters but there were still some which are present to this day like sadness and coldness.
I couldn't actually believe it. I couldn't believe if a father could treat his son like this. Kuo-Haya wasn't treated very well by his father and his father also didn't enjoy to play with his son after the death of his wife. So Kuo-Haya wasn't reached anything and didn't know to follow a bear's trail. That was very mean by his father I think.
But then everyone was looking for Kuo-Haya but didn't find him. Kuo-Haya met bear cubs with whom he played a lot and from whose mother he learned everything that he didn't from his father.
Soon his father realized his mistake and decided to get his son back and found him playing with the bears. But his son refused and ran inside the cave. When the father came for the second time and apologized for all his mistakes then the son came back to his father and the village. Now everyone realized that the boy was no longer the timid boy but he was known as Kuo-Haya the bear boy.
Lastly, I saw The Ghost Society, where to belong to the Ghost Society meant that a boy was no longer a little child. So now Walks Slow was at the stage of transition and was taken to the darkened dance house. Everything was dark inside the house and so Walks Slow and the other kids could just feel that they were surrounded by many other people most likely Ghosts. There were many rituals to prove that the kids are now strong enough. Then after fours days, they had caught him when he was thrown out of the house. "The unfamiliar light of the day made Walks Slow blink his eyes, but he laughed and his relatives laughed with him. He had been thrown out into manhood.
Then I was woken up by the beautiful sounds of the birds singing. I couldn't believe that a dream could even be like this. It was so educational for me. I wish I could experience it again.
