A Visit with a Blind Woman
#3
That was quite a remarkable dream!

Notable contrast between the all-out warfare in the streets, and the peace and companionship inside the door-less shack. Everyone in the dream is fighting everyone else, except you and the elder.

Flag repair; VERY interesting!
The shredded flag theme is echoed later in the elder's lament about the country being torn apart.
You are restoring the original flag to its original condition. As you repair the American flag, the flags of China and Russia, which started out whole, themselves become ragged. Apparently there is not a way for all three flags to be in good repair. One prospers at the expense of the other two. If the flags are symbols of the three countries, it may tell something of their future courses.

The old woman and blind seer are classic archetypes. She reminds me a bit of Tiresias from Greek Mythology;

You went out for cake and came home with figs--better food than cake for the hungry.

Good one, Elyse! Thanks for posting it.
