Last night I dreamed I met Angelina Jolie. She was squatting on the ground with a group of people who lived in a small village. I came near and hunched down too and said, “thank-you for drawing attention to people suffering from the effects of the floods in Pakistan.” She nodded and started to cry.

14 million people, most of them children, affected by the flooding.

Ooh, now I'm jealous. I'd love to meet her--in dream or reality.

caroline...ha...she did this whole interview where she was practically crying about how bad the situation is in pakistan and the interviewer asked her some question and she said she didn't have a lot of friends she talks to...so instead of the headline being about how "People, if they could see people here, would give more..." was "Angelina doesn't have any friends!!!"

modern celebrity....not such an easy gig....

Wow, do you do that...do not remember her...but a way of directing your dreams? What a fantastic experience.

o'stephanie....it was a real dream. possibly evoked by that photo. it's always strange to dream about...or even to meet a celebrity. you have both a feeling of familiarity and strangeness. but also I keep thinking about pakistan because haiti and indonesia and thailand were more popular countries the world's efforts (and celebrity involvement) were more intense.

In pakistan it's really dire....and of course it's more so much harder because of the war/drone strikes etc.

I just keep thinking about it. But thank-you for reading....

I love to hear people's dreams... this one tells where you true heart lies - in helping others.
