War Dream

Two nights (or morning) ago, my dream was declaring that two wars broke out simultaneously. Sweden was one of the parties in both wars. Other countries at war were Central Asian or Caucasus countries. A newspaper, which had a similar name to the “Far Eastern Economic Review,” reserved its uppermost part for this war story. There were not many paragraphs as this was still a breaking news piece. The article even included a few Japanese characters for the comments by Japanese witnesses. At the time, I was staying at a school dormitory (hostel). But the scene from the room window looked eerily like the one from my Kyoto home window beyond which a canal was running. Through the dorm window, I found a warship going upstream at the full speed with its bright lights on.
