In my dream I am lying naked on a gurney. My ancestors are passing in single file on my left, my colleagues on my right. All of them look at me as though they were viewing a cadaver in an open coffin. I consider my situation and believe I am dead. Then I see that it is my colleagues who are dead, like my ancestors. I want to ask each one of them how they died and what they left behind, but I am not allowed either to move or to speak, at least for now.
