Living a another lifetime in a dream (a policeman dozens of years ago)
This morning I had a long dream where I was a policeman who lived maybe 70-100 years ago or so. (I’m not very good with times.) I need to mention that I was a white policeman, because this becomes important as the dream/story goes on.
At first there were mundane crimes to work on, but then there was a murder case, and the person who committed the murder was a non-white person. I noticed in myself (my character in the dream) and in others that there was prejudice in us, because we all thought to some extent, “This never happened when we were all white.” Of course it did happen, because there have been murders forever, but it was the first one we were exposed to.
When we caught the person, I told everyone, “We need to handle this properly. Remember to read him his Miranda Rights.”
When I said that, everyone looked at me like, “What are you talking about?”
