A Journey Through Time: Exploring the Past and Present in a Dream

A Journey Through Time: Exploring the Past and Present in a Dream
I was back in time in the 60s working on a documentary. In the dream I knew I was in the past so a I had knowledge of how to create transition shots. We went to a psych ward where a young Jean michel basquiet was. I spoke to him and another older Haitian woman about themselves. I offered Jean a way out earlier if he would be apart of my documentary. I spoke to him about why he ended up there and what his plans were after he got out. He explained to to me life issues caused him to end up there and he wanted to leave so he could see his young son was still a few months old. I took a nap there, when I woke up I couldn’t find my film crew or Jean. At night the psych ward was like a mad house and there was no staff. There was a women dead in the pool and I had to escape. I made it out and then woke up.
