I dreamt that I met several people from China who needed help as soon as possible. Somehow they managed to escape from their country, where they were used as industrial slaves. There were millions like them, I was told. Each of them had metal shoes cast around their legs. The alloy employed was akin to bronze, but much more complex. Some sort of electrolysis was used, so that the cast would fit the foot exactly. Coming up to the ankle, it was impossible to get out of the cast. Quite thick and shiny, having round edges, the metal casts looked like clogs. The people I met needed help to have them removed. This required electrolysis once again, but it was important to know the exact composition of the alloy, which was slightly different in each case. So, they needed a laboratory that could rid them of this curious vestige of slavery. Although they could walk well enough, they could not move freely, let alone run. The clogs were quite heavy, too. That is all I remember from the dream. The clogs are etched in my mind, though.
