Fact Sheet for Dreaming Black Boy The poem is about a black-skinned youngster who faces discrimination due of his skin tone. He wishes that people would see past his skin color and see him as a person rather than a black boy, and that he may enjoy the simple pleasures of life. It is a very common dream for blacks to dream that they are being chased by white people or animals. This is because racism is a very real and serious issue in this country, and in many dreams, it appears that the racist activity is overtaking your life. 2. Black boys also sometimes dream that they are wearing clothes that are too small for them. This is such a common theme in black dreams that it has its own name: enfagrowlsiin means "to wear small clothes." Enfagrowlsiin is most often seen in young black males as a warning that something evil will happen if they do not stop dressing like boys. 3. In other cases, the dreamer knows exactly what they're going to buy even before they wake up. This type of dream is called premonition and it is considered a sign from God. Most times, these purchases need to be made quickly before the price of whatever it is you're buying goes up. 4. Finally, some black boys have dreams where they go to a place called "hell".
