King's Speech - a dream

I had a dream. It wasn't a significant dream, more like a daydream. Or waking dream. Or maybe just a fantasy. Anyway - in this dream I was embedding one dream in another dream. So I was dreaming about, or imagining, shaping one dream like a nest and making it comfortable so that I could embed the other dream inside it as an Easter egg.

I think I need to start being a little more explicit.

"I have a dream" is the title of two very different texts, and I imagine that I could connect them together, something like elements in a collage. But in doing so, the first dream-text should not caricature the other, but the second should feel as comfortable in the first as an egg nestled in a nest. The egg, the symbol and form of fruitful multiplication, is the text of Martin Luther King's speech in August 1963. In it, a future is sketched, in it, like in an egg, a generation of hope slumbers. The nest is the song of the same name by Abba (1979).

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything

I say to you today, my friends,
so even though we face
the difficulties of today and
tomorrow, I still have a dream.

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality

It is a dream
deeply rooted in the creed:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident;
that all men are created equal."

I'll cross the stream

I have a dream
that one day the [daughters and] sons
of former slaves and the [daughters and] sons
of former slave owners will be able
to sit down together at the table
of [sisterhood and] brotherhood.

I'll cross the stream

I have a dream
that my four little children will
one day live in a WORLD where they will
not be judged by the color of their skin but
by the content of their character.

I have a dream
today.

And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushin' through the darkness still another mile
I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything

I have a dream
today.

"Free at last!" deeply rooted in the creed:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident;
that all men are created equal."
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
"Thank God Almighty, we are free
at last!" I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me

I have a dream
today.
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future, even if you fail
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

Martin Luther King was assassinated 55 years ago (on April 4th 1968).
