| Dreams in abundance lie scattered over the paths and stairways of the Fortress. Someone could say you should only bend down, collect them and then, use them in your Weaving. Dreams of others, gathered in this way, the dreams their owners threw away either by chance, or because they could not do anything with dreams that were surmounting their abilities – such dreams are not useful for Others at all. On the contrary, there was a known case when dreams were gathered in this way and transformed into cannons, even two hundred of them, and then destroyed the Great Novi Sad (even that date was recorded, as a warning – 12 June 1849). Mira Đurić knows that very well, and therefore uses the dreams as yarn: she weaves it into silk and then they turn into a Big Dream which has effects on Everyone, in the form of the Returned Beauty. Of course, you should have your own Big Dream, if you want to control the run-away or thrown-away Dreams! |
