Post #8: Chapter 7

The forest looks after its children, silently reassuring them through life in the forest that all is well.

The Pygmies are all children of the forest.

The dream world of the Pygmies is full of hidden meaning and significance.

The forest is both mother and father to the Pygmies.

*Observations*

As the center of everything to the Pygmies, the forest is both father and mother to them. As such, it looks after its children and reassures them that all is well. All Pygmies are children of the forest. While the Pygmies do not believe in superstition and witchcraft, they do believe that dreams are full of hidden meaning and significance; spirits can appear in these dreams.
