What did Aminata's dream mean?
When Aminatas strange dream occurs, we were lead to interpret a deeper meaning from the text. The pregnant rabbit appears on the pathway, it is traveling down a path way encouraging Aminata to follow its lead. She can hear the beating of drums, that brings her back to her homeland, Bayo. The dream feels surreal to Aminata, since it is bringing her back to her past life, that she so desperately wants to return to. When the rabbit emerges into her mother. The reasoning the rabbit symbolized her mother alike the rabbit are there to guide Aminata. To give her the guidance she needed to decide weather or not she should continue her life into slavery. The rabbit/her mother was showing Aminata that one day she will return home, that if she continues on the path she is on she will one day be free.
