Dream

My dear friends,

(Night of 17th March 2014 so it was already 18th March, 2014 according to clocks)

Last night, I had a very strange dream. I never thought I will have that person in my dream. When I ask myself, if I ever saw that person in any dream in my life, I get a negative reply. In my dream, I see that I am together with my brothers, A, N and W (and probably also K but I am not sure), my cousin, T W, two of my friends from college, SN and (probably) TMC, and a child of age less than 5 years (I guess) but I do not know whose child is this boy. We all have invited Imran Khan (the chief and chairman of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf party) to Larkana at my maternal grand father's home. We had a dining table in the upper story of the home. Imran Khan was invited to that room for lunch and TW, my cousin, was acting as a host. The setting of the dinning table is such that there are three chairs on each long-side of the table and one chair on each short-side of the table. Imran takes the lead seat on the shorter side of the table. Next to Imran are sitting my two friends. My brothers are standing next to chairs. The third chair on that side is occupied by me. I am also having this child in my lap. The child is so excited or what that he keeps annoying while Imran Khan is discussing things with all of us. He is mainly talking about how situation of Pakistanis and Pakistan can be improved. He discusses about the grass-root level problems faced by common people and is open to get ideas from youngsters like ourselves who were joining him in that meeting.

To me important thing in the dream was not what Imran Khan was discussing but the most important thing was this child. It seemed that there was something about this child. He was very special to me and in that meeting. He kept annoying everyone but especially Imran Khan. He did things that would divert anyone's attention. He will say something in between or try to go to Imran Khan's side or try to go off my lap and jump into my friend's places to either grab the attention or he wanted to take Imran Khan's attention. I was afraid that Imran Khan might not like this and might become angry. At one point, it seemed that Imran is getting angry but trust me that Imran didn't even say why have you brought this kid/child, who keeps annoying, in this serious discussion. Or he even did not asked anyone to take this child away. He was very calm, accepting, and loving to this child. Though I don't remember well, after the child's too much annoyance, Imran Khan (probably) took him in his lap from me.

After I woke up, several questions were raised in my head. These questions are:
1. Currently, I am not living in Pakistan, so why, I had a dream in which I saw Imran Khan in my grand father's house together with my brothers, one cousin, two friends, and a child.

2. My grand father's house is in Larkana. My family lives in Karachi. My cousin lives in Larkana. One friend lives in Karachi, the other friend lives in Murree. So, why in Larkana? We could have met/invited Imran Khan to Karachi or Murree or Islamabad or some other place.

3. Why I saw that small child and why I had that small child in my lap? This child was annoying everyone but neither I got annoyed nor Imran Khan got annoyed with him. Though at one time it seemed Imran is annoyed, he didn't say anything. Rather, after sometime, I can't recall well, probably Imran Khan took this child in his lap.

4. Moreover, I had a small discussion with Imran Khan. There could be several reasons. May be because this child was with me in my lap and was annoying everyone. So, I had to take care of him. Why I didn't have a good / active discussion with Imran Khan?

Overall, I like this dream. But there are many questions still unanswered :)
I am not sure about the message in this dream.
