I remember a fragment that sums up a creative gesture. I'm with [person A], making a table. We start off looking through leftover material for a base and a platform. We find a metal base painted in a colour and look for a platform to put it on. [person B] appears, but she’s not happy about where we have settled, thinking we are far from everything.

We are in a house in the middle of nowhere, but I try to convince [person B] that this place has a great future. There are still no houses around, but once there are two or three, it will be enough to form a village –just a couple more houses, that is all it takes!

Then I remember that the table is no longer a table but a glass ceiling, a new structure that I look at enthusiastically.

Last of all, I remember preparing to take a flight. In my dream, the plane comes from the United States, is going to Oregon and then heading for Europe.
