Anyway, I got a story to tell. It was a year ago. I dreamed I was in the wilderness (picture hmong village in Thailand) I dont know where I was standing exactly but I saw these two Hmong men in slacks, white collar shirt, and hmong sandals walking down a dirt path, behind them was the jungle foliage and there was a brown picket fence and walking towards me. They were holding a piece of paper rolled up and I was not scared of them. Beside me I saw a Hmong man playing with a little kid, chickens around...then suddenlly I was in a straw hut. They came up to me and the one holding the paper said to me, "We've come to get you, you have to come with us." I asked why? He said, "You have to come, but don't be scared, you are not the only one we are taking with us." For some reason I was not scared but I cried, I said, "But who will take care of my dog?" (my pomeranian). He said, "Your mom will, she will love her eyes and will think of you when she sees your dog. You have nothing to worry about." Then I thought of my mom, and said, "But I wont get to say goodbye! I cried some more and yelled at them and told them I wouldnt go because they will not know I'm gone til it's too late and they will not be happy if I leave. The man with the paper said, "we have papers for you that says it's time to go so it doesn't matter if you don't want to go." I asked, "then give me a paper and pencil so I can write my family a letter to tell them I'm leaving." The other man gave me a piece of paper and pencil. I tried to write "dear mom and dad" but all i got was dear and then the pencil would not write anymore. I was angry, mad, fraustrated and cried and let out a very loud cry (almost as if I felt very sad and the cry was coming from my stomach. I threw the paper and pencil down and stomped my feet and said "I'm not going! I can't even write the on the stupid paper! Give me a working pen." The man with holding the paper said, "we dont have another one, alright, Tell your family you are leaving, we will come back in 2 days for you." Then they showed me their next stops and what girls they were picking up next. Each place and girl's faced flashed right before my eyes as they showed me who they were and where. I woke up thinking, what a weird dream. I went to work and came back home then I finally felt a little scared and told my sisinlaw my dream. She told me i should tell my mom cause she's been acting weird lately. I went to the living room and told her my dream. She asked, "so did you write the letter?" I told her no, I was willing to go but I couldn't write the letter so I refused and they told me they would get me in 2 days." She asked if I knew those people, I said no. My mom said good thing you couldn't write anything, I did something a few days ago to have our ancestors help us because I knew something bad was going to happen. She tied a red and white string on my right wrist and my dad tied one on my left and said a few words. The next day she called everyone in our family over and had us drink something. She told me to never take the strings off, and I never had. But I didn't dream for a good 3-4 months. She said that then this means it worked.
