dream of retreat

Apparently there was a retreat of high level people,
partly those who were involved with U.S. policies
(influenced no doubt by seeing McNamarra's Fog of War film
yesterday evening, as well as the current events of the
Clarke book and his revelations on the Bush
administration; Rush Limbaugh on the radio yesterday is
reduced to accusing Gore of pandering to the airways
instead of standing by his antiterrorism report).

But in my case in this dream it was like retreats in which
I've participated that involved university departments.
THere were comments made by people round about (not
formal, and I was a hanger-on, not very centrally
involved) that suggested that the U.S. way was not only
not the only way but not even the best way.

Then I was in the house of one of the leaders of this
group or some kind of entity, having an informal
discussion. Part of this involved which group I would
participate in the group, since I left the one that I
would ordinarily be with. (This may relate how I'm
involved with very different people compared to before I
left my job, yet I'm still very involved with the former
people as well). This went on, the atmosphere seemed dark
and confusing, later his wife came and there were meal
preparations, but I shoved away and left, saying that I'd
intruded on them enough. Yet, I believe I would have liked
it if they had insisted on my staying, part of me wished
that, like when I would visit the houses of neighbors on
Highway 10 coming home from my school.
