ABSTRACT
I stopped believing in God when I became a black queer feminist. I had a dream about a pride of lions the other night. I dreamed that one of the lionesses had done something that I knew the leader of her pride would not like although I cannot remember now what she had done that warranted her leader finding out. I wrestled with whether or not I should inform him. I eventually went to him with the information and the rest of the pride was not happy. I was afraid, but I somehow knew that they would not hurt me. As a result of my actions, the lioness in question was punished, and all the lionesses in the pride were excommunicated. I did not anticipate this at all. I woke up in a state of anxiety! What was this about? Why was I communicating with animals in my dreams? And why did I do something that would negatively affect women? That is not like me at all. I was extremely puzzled and unsure about how to proceed.
