As the people of 3020 watched the old movie, exactly 1000 years old, they saw how much fear had gripped the planet in the year of 2020, but at the same time, there were also glimmers of hope.  An entire school of 500  Navajo children and adults who were living in the middle of Apache country continued to dream their dreams in a time when the people of the world had forgotten how to dream. 

These Navajo were an ancient people who had been taught the power of dreaming from their ancestors.  Navajo is not what they originally called themselves.  The word Navajo was only first used in 1780.  The Navajo and Apache were like one family, one clan at a time.  The Navajo clan lived in a vast valley and when the Spanish first came upon them they called them "Apaches de Navajo."  The was a word from Spanish which means "farm fields in the valley."  They were thus labeled as "Apaches who farm fields in the valley," and this was eventually shortened to just "Navajo."  But this is not what they called themselves.  They called themselves, and still refer to themselves as "Diyin Dine'" or "Children of the Holy People," and they often just shorten that to Dine' and this is the language they also speak.  They speak Dine'.  Because of it's complexity, it was used as a secret code by the U.S. Marines in WWII.  The military referred to the Dine' as "Code Talkers." 
 
News of a Pandemic, a virus the labeled as Covid-19, spread quickly across the entire planet as the people had easy access to instant communication from every country.  The virus seemed to spread as fast as the fires in the Amazon and Indonesia, but now that this spread was endangering their own health and life, the people began to wake up.  As the death toll rose from the virus, fear gripped many people.  Markets began to crash, companies began to close, and unemployment was on the rise.  Many people didn’t know how they would pay their mortgage or rent or buy food, and so they hunkered down into survival mode. 
 
The principal of the Dine' school, on the other hand, knew that he had to keep dreams of his children above the cloud of fear.  He was there to see a better future for the generations to come.  He wanted to create a clear path to a future that had a healthy Earth with clean oceans, pure water, clear air, with sustainable communities that worked with each other harmoniously. 

He did the math to make sure that his focus was in tack.  The world population at that time was just under 8,000,000,000.  The number of people who had contracted the Covid19 virus as of March 27, 2020 was reported at 529,000.  This was much less than 1% of the entire world population which meant that over 99.999% of the world did not have the virus and remained cautious but healthy.  He looked at the number of deaths and those who survived the virus; the survival rate was 81%.  There was much hope.
 
The principal worked at a small school in the Dine' village in North America.  He would tell his students of the Global Goals.  Even though they lived far from the ocean, and most had never even seen it, they learned about goal #14 which was to help clean the oceans and they wondered how they could help.  They knew that they were all connected.  The vision of their school was “Every Dream Achieved” and so the principal set out to collect all the dreams of the students and teachers in the village.  He kept them in the “Dream Safe.”  He gave each dream a page number because he knew it was an important part of their story.  Each year, on March 14, Pi Day, he would ask the students to give their revised dreams.  He knew that as they grew and evolved in their consciousness, so would their dreams.  He recalled a verse from his childhood upbringing, "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.  When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me."
