Rizal had another depressing dream on May 15, 1882. He imagined he returned to Calamba and, after visiting his parents, who refused to speak to him since he had not consulted them about his first journey abroad, he returned to travel overseas with one hundred pesos, which he borrowed again. He felt depressed and heartbroken. This time he would never return. In his dream, Rizal saw himself aboard a ship bound for the United States. When they reached American soil, he decided to go back to Europe instead. So the captain told him that if he wanted to change his plans, he should do it before they reached port. Rizal woke up feeling disappointed and lonely. He realized that even though he had been offered a chance to stay in America, he could not bear to leave Spain. Rizal's father was very angry when he found out that his son planned to go abroad without telling him. So Rizal went to Madrid to discuss his options with the government. But the king and queen didn't want to offend the United States by refusing their proffered gift of liberty. Instead, they gave Rizal an office as inspector general of schools so he could help reform the national education system. Finally, on December 30, 1892, the president of the Spanish council of ministers signed a decree granting Rizal honorary citizenship of Spain.
