I think it's rather lovely, but probably also speaks to the frustration of trying to help with the world and not being able to do as much as we want.
I think I was frustrated that so few people were listening to me.
I've SERIOUSLY been there. In March 2020 I had an incredibly unsubtle dream about being on a bus in Italy, and the bus driver was happily chatting to us and had his hands off the wheel. And I shouted at him in Italian (which I do slightly speak) to look at the road, and he was like "it's cool it's cool!" Probably the bus itself would be fine, but we'd clipped a little car and I'd seen another passenger wince but I was the only one who'd seen how bad it really was, and I was like "the others!" because my Italian isn't good enough to say 'maybe WE'LL be fine but - '
And I woke up from this stress dream laughing at the unsubtlety of my subconscious, where this guy is like 'it's fine' without even looking at the bad stuff ahead to try and avoid it, while I shout at him to think of other people IN ITALIAN - this was while the really bad wave of covid there still had Italy firmly in its grasp. I feel like your dream about trying to help save people from weapons and knowing there was a limited amount you could do, but it'd be more if people would JUST LISTEN, isn't too far from that!
