9

 I have a course with people from 9 geographical origins, including myself: US, PR, Lithuania, Catalonia, Galicia, Honduras, Venezuela, Iran, Brazil.  Two are Spain, and two are US, but still, it is highly diverse.   

Dream of a dog

 I wasn't even thinking I was asleep but I had a waking dream of following a dog who was showing me where to find his dog relatives, or human relatives of his owners.  It wasn't very clear.  

Two parties

 There were two gatherings. One, me and some old high school friends. The other, in an adjoining room, my current friends, grouped together in larger numbers to protest the current administration.  I went in a for a few moments to the protest party, had a few beers, before going back. My high school friends were all but unrecognizable, and paid me little heed.  When I woke up I only remembered one of them, but she appeared differently in the dream, as another ethnicity.  I felt alienated from both group, but in different ways.
