I had a dream

I had a dream the other night that Forest Whitaker was running for President. In the dream, he was giving a speech in what looked to be a high school auditorium (my POV in the view was only Forest on stage, so I didn't get a good view of the whole place or the audience). I seemed to be either his campaign manager or a fervent fan (I would happily be both). I think I had some clout, as I was kind of in the wings on stage, not in the audience.

Forest had a suit and glasses on, and looked very dignified. I was really nervous as this was his first public speech, and I was afraid that the American people wouldn't take him as seriously as the other candidates because he was an actor and was entering the race so late in the game. If people only knew the real Forest, I thought, he would surely become the next President and would bring great prosperity to our nation.

The main platform that Forest was running on was the preservation of animal species. He had a large quilt behind him with embroidered images of animals, and their scientific names below them. He was passionate about the conservation of animal habitats and he often pointed out the stitched embroidery behind him to illustrate his points.

And then I woke up.
