I will never understand why my divinities appear to me as celebrities in my dreams but here we have LaKeith Stanfield as Kweku Ananse from Akan religion in Ghana. In Haitian Vodou, Ananse is known as Gede Zariyen, the Gede spider.
In the dream, I was wandering in a line of unknown people…from my aunt’s house, through her basement to where we ended up at a train station in the basement of a mall. Individually, people passed through the turnstile and standing at the turnstile were three people – I intuitively recognized LaKeith as Ananse, asked him, he confirmed and asked if I was walking through. I took a deep breath and was submerged under water, which felt like tar. I took one final breath (more like a grunt) and was transported to the other side of the water (anba dlo, in Haitian Kreyol) to the land of the ancestors… The rest is my business.
