Mahatma Gandhi (m) once had a very strange dream (梦). He was occupying the engine's toilet ((e)ng4) and saw bats (夕) sitting in the forest trees (林) surrounding him. Suddenly he came to the realization that just like the bats occupying the trees, people could reclaim the streets through sit-ins. Gandhi was so impressed by this dream that he dedicated his life to this mission.
