The weirdest thing about this dream the feeling it left me with as I woke up.
In this dream, I was in a library, browsing the many books on display. I recall seeing a few interesting looking graphic novels, but the book that especially caught my eye was one called 'Practical magic for Feminists'.
The book was on top of a tall shelf and took considerable effort to reach. It had a light blue cover and some pattern scrawled on the front. It also came with an audio CD which started playing as soon as I picked up the book. The music sounded pretty cool, but I can't really remember it all that well. The book intrigued me, mostly because of the music. Despite this, I returned the book to its shelf and decided not to get it. I later changed my mind because I felt something compelling me to borrow it; so I rushed to the counter with my library card but forgot to bring the book with me. The woman at the counter laughed at my absent-mindedness and said she'd wait as I rushed back to grab the book.
I went back to the room where I found it, but all the bookshelves had changed, and I couldn't see the book anywhere. I started to panic and looked around the room, but there was no sign of it. I then went to other areas of the library to no avail. By this point, it was near closing time and there were not many people around.
The dream ended as I continued to search futilely for the missing book. I woke with a deep, anxious longing.
What's particularly odd about this dream is that I am not a feminist at all. Like most reasonable people, I am all for gender equality, but find modern feminism to be too toxic and hateful, yet here I was searching for a book about feminism. Feminist magic, no less.
I was having an online debate with someone about feminism the day before, so it may be related to that, but I somehow feel there's more to it than just that.
