I was watching as a male archaeologist carefully dug up a set of eight ancient Chinese bronze masks. Each mask was rectangular, intricately designed, and carried a sense of deep history.
As I observed, I got the sinking feeling that he wasn’t just excavating—he was stealing them. There was a wave of anger, but it wasn’t my own. I could feel the fury of the ancestors whose resting places were being disturbed. It was like their spirits were surging around me, making their outrage known.
I knew they weren’t my ancestors, but their voices reached out to me, almost like a plea. They wanted me to do something—to stop this. I could feel their message burning inside me, demanding justice.
This dream suggests a deep connection to history, justice, and unseen forces.
