I had a dream where Christine and I were working in a printing project. We were making a 4-page pamphlet about.. immigrant rights education in general? or an upcoming protest? meant to be handed out in the immigrant community in general.

We were working in an office in northeastern LA.. that somehow was CHIRLA’s office in the dream. Each day we were taking the Metro bus, and in the dream supposedly I had taken this bus a couple of times going to that office and we never paid. On the ride that happened in my dream, it was all CHIIRLA crew and there were also two large couches placed inside the bus. That’s when it hit me.. guys you leased an entire bus to take people between Ktown and your office just for this project? They said yes.. wow!

I think there was a larger CHIRLA team who worked on a general public/english&spanish pamphlet and Christine and I were tasked with the Korean/English pamphlet. In the dream, the pamphlet was close to finishing. The middle two pages were complete, and the outer two pages were like 3/4 done.

Then I thought hmm we have some additional time, so should we expand this pamphlet a bit? Not only explain immigrant rights but expand into.. some background information.. which made sense in the dream. It would be more impressive.

And I started getting stressed thinking that expanding the project could mean delaying it indefinitely. But I felt it was pretty close to being better. And impressive. (Impressive to who?)

After waking up I felt like I’ve been in that conundrum a hundred times in past work.
