Translation
Yesterday night I had a nightmare, I was in a station never seen before. I just went out from the train when I was stopped by two policemen who asked me to show my documents. Surprised, I started searching them everywhere, in my bag, in my pockets, in the suitcase. Everything was there: garments and each other object.
At first I was calm but then I understood it wasn't my suitcase. I was so scared and I began looking around the station in order to escape from the policemen.
The station slowly became a lager surrounded by barbed wire: I was a prisoner and the two policemen were now two soldiers. Terrified I awoke, my heart was beating so fastly that I needed some minutes to realize it was not real, but only a bad nightmare.
