i dreamed i was at a friend's house. me and this other lady was dropping her off at her parents. she's a wonderful guitar player. her dad was there. he thanked us, took her to the other room, and started beating the shit out of her. he was very upset that she's been playing guitar instead of doing what he wanted her to do, which was to study hard and become a doctor. i can still remember the smacks. SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK.. shouting, crying.
my gut reaction was to go in there and stop him, but I stopped. the lady i was with (one of my professors, i think) was confused too. did we have the right to interfere with his Authority?
i woke up, ashamed and confused. of course, the correct action would be to go in to the room right away and stop the abuse. my hesitation disturbs me.
